FT 50/50
 

Full tilt Fifty-Fifty. This is my first BB post, and I don't know how "bad" a bad beat has to be to qualify to be posted here, but this sucked. Comment on the line if you want, not like I made up the play or anything, but it worked...sort of.

lololimpaments

he put you to a decision for all of your chips, and got unlucky you had AA, you were unlucky to lose, but he never thought you were calling. crazy fold equity

Re: FT 50/50
 

I'm not criticizing his play, I like his shove and if I'm him I'm doing the same thing. Doesn't make the beat any less bad.

Edited to say - Not that it matters, but this was the second time I had aces UTG (woe is me!) and the first time I played it in a more standard way. I dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Fair point. At least I learned something.

glad i can help

i try not to get it in unless i have KK v K2o

Re: FT 50/50
 

I prefer low cards before the flop because everyone else likes high cards. When I hit they will have nothing.
