Re: Missplayed or Bad Beat 50NL
 

I misread OP, I thought it was a late position raise, in which case that should have read as a one word answer: fold.

You're right, I shouldn't give a one-line answer but of the past 10 threads I've look at at least 4/5 had this kind of spot preflop, calling weak 1 pair hands oop and then wondering what to do. Calling UTG raises with JTs is not good.

Re: Missplayed or Bad Beat 50NL
 

the point of the mods cracking down on one-word and one-line answers is to maintain the integrity of 2p2. The reason people post these hands and certain spots they are in is to get advice and different points of view from fellow thinking players. Just because you and I know that JTs (esp OOP) fairs extremely poor against an UTG raise, doesn't mean that this hero does. If you're going to take the time to post a reply, make it useful and explain the thought process and why, as much as you possibly can.

I agree, I was wrong.

However at the same time people should not be posting lots of hands of their own, with simple answeres like this, without participating in other threads.

Thats not a bad beat, its a cooler. There is a difference.

The only one who missplayed it was villain, even though he got your stack here

I can't believe anyone has the knowledge to raise 22 UTG but NOT c-bet when they flop a set on a semi-wet board!

Half of those that do (myself included) still do stupid stuff like this often enough.

Re: Missplayed or Bad Beat 50NL
 

Thats true, but I don't think alot of people make mistakes as big as this, to slowplay sets on wet boards.
And at least we're trying to improve our game by browsing these forums [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

he played very poorly. The only questionable play you made was preflop. Even then its not bad.
