I was not going to fold my hand. I made the standard raise to increase the chances of someone with a worse hand giving me action. I actually got exactly what I wanted in this particular instance (until the river card came, that is).

Could you please explain the flaw in my reasoning?

yes we all know you are an english major. bravo. fyi no one cares

this is a standard push. doing anything else is just silly since you have a good hand in this situation and the blinds are great relative to your stack. there is no reason for you to do anythign else

Fine story, OP, nh.

They are spot-on about pushing there, tho, and correcting English use on an Internets forum is a fool's gambit.

this seems like more of a brag than a beat.

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm very surprised that the majority of people in this forum are so jaded that they cannot appreciate a story like this.

I am tired of hearing about how this is just a case of AQ losing to AJ when the money went in preflop. I know when the money went in and I know it's statistically not a terrible beat before the flop.

For the love of God though, how many times have you been 98% on the flop and lost? Furthermore, have you ever had it happen to you at the hands of one of the most widely recognized players in professional poker?

I don't know how many times I have to say this but:
1) I am not looking for advice on how to play the hand differently
2) I am not whining because I lost the pot

Therefore, if you read this story and you're not impressed, that's fine. I would really like to hear what stories some of you think meet the minimum requirement of worthiness to post.

Do we have to include our entire hand history, or only for this week?

I'm sure anyone who's played in the 10,000 of hands has been beaten when less than 1% to lose at the flop. Everyone has been beaten by runner runner to lose.

Not saying the story wasn't mildly interesting, but it's certainly not an unusal beat.

Well FYI, you're an english major. I think that is awesome. There are so many people that play poker now that you can't even talk to because they KNOW everything! I appreciate the story. I actually hate bad beat stories, that's why I never talk about them myself. But I found some humor in this. Good story.

I know that getting beat by AJ while holding AQ is not that big of deal. But after that flop it is highly unlikely. Apparently all the pro's reading this get sucked out on all the time. I guess that's the story of everyone's life. "Oh I'm a good player, I just get sucked out on." I don't know how many times I have heard that. I thought it was an excellent move. Only having 975 left, you know that you are moving all-in no matter what. But you don't want to shove right away just to have everyone fold and you pick up 200 or so chips and then you're still in the same situation you were in before. Trying to pick out another hand to move all-in with. You wanted action, you got action, it was just unfortunate that it turned out the way that it did.

Good story, and goodluck in the future.

when you play on the inttar web you get to play so many more hands that these kind of "beats" actually are standard. so to answer your question, more than i can count with my fingers.

if the money went in on the flop this would have been worthy.
