TX Bill
Player Valuation: £80m
For you poker players.
I'm playing in a $150 FTP tournament tonight. 75k guarantee. Top 54 get paid. 576 playing.
I'm doing well and at one point, have the lead until I go card dead.
At any rate, the avg chip stack is 20,000 and I've got about 13,000 left (a few good hole cards but didn't hit flop or was outgunned)
I'm the small blind at 600. KQ in the hole. Everyone folds around and I raise to 1800. BB raises to 4000. I think about it for a sec and figure ok, why not? I need to make a move here at some point and for all I know, he could have been trying to steal the blinds and antes.
TX Bill calls.
Flop is Ks 10c 7c Freaking BEAUTIFUL !!!
I immediately go all in.
The guy decides he wants to think about for awhile and hits the time button. He spends an additional 30 seconds before deciding what to do. I'm figuring he's on a club draw, say AQc or something like that. He obvously doesn't have a set or AK or he'd have called pretty quick.
He finally acts and calls. He has 88.
88 !!!!
I'm going "Thank you for calling !!!" I mean I could have had Kings (which I had) or 10's. I could have had a set. Or a flush/straight draw. Either way, there were a million ways for him to lose. And if I'm bluffing, he's got to remember that I called his re-raise to begin with so there's a high likelihood that I've got decent hole cards.
Well, you guessed it, he hits his f&^*ing 8 on the river to knock me out. I was knocked out in 74th place and the money was 54th. Had I hit that, I'd have been in the money for sure.
It's one thing to get beat straight up. But frankly, that guy had no business calling that bet. He had about 25,000 in chips but in no way was he pot committed.
It pisses me off when someone makes a really bad call and get's paid off for it, even when it doesn't happen to me. But I'm still steaming and I think that based on the size of the tournament, the amount that could have been won, and how close I was to the money, that probably ranks up that as my worst bad beat in my short poker playing career.
