I am worthless

[cjc2003]

Is this not the dumbest thing that's ever been done in poker history?

I should be shot. How does this happen? Good poker for 6hrs then I do this, 15th in chips out of 33 left at the time (I'm chrisowu5) What happened? How do I get over this?

Anyone in the Houston area please feel free to pay me a visit and kick my ass, I need it. That is all, thanks for letting me vent at myself.

Don't worry man. Everyone does dumb things that they regret. You just won't make this mistake next time. Hey, you're $4600 richer.

[NHFunkii]

you really should have rivered the diamond...

it's not THAT bad...
not that it's good, but I was expecting a truly awful play

Why is this dumb? You're getting about 2-1 to call, its certainly a close decision against many players.

You might consider raising a little less so you're not as priced in (I'd say about 49k in this spot) or just moving in yourself to take away the jam play from the players still to act after you.

But certainly no reason to beat yourself up here.

You think that's dumb, I probably just move in.

p.s. I am in the Houston area (though not all the time), so I can administer an ass-kicking as you see fit.

[somerook]

Okay - I'm definitely not experienced as Nath, but I respectfully disagree w him.

I like your initial raise. Just right for making the big stack fold w junk.
However, the call *IS REALLY* stupid. Just watch some of the end stages of the major tournaments.. (like adanthar from last weekend). A lot of small-ball, but no big frikking allins calls with stuff like A6o.

You have to assume, if hes going all in hes either got a pair or have you dominated. He may be ready to gamble. Are you ready to flip?
If you were him would you go all in w A5?

Blah blah blah.. I've made some stupid moves like that in the endgame as well :-)) Its all a part of maturing into a good player i guess.

I open-push for the reasons ActionBob covered; namely, to take away the resteal move from the blinds. They'll be hard pressed to call with many hands that may beat me, and many more that don't but they might resteal with anyway.

(I think 99 is a call from the BB either way, so bad luck there, but you're not going to get called by KJ / A8 / T9s, all of which could reasonably repush at you here.)

[dave374000]

I've seen - and played - way worse than that. LOL.
$4600 nice ... especially if you got into that tourney via satellite (heck, even if you paid the $215).
Don't sweat it.

[Bolero]

No, the dumbest thing ever done was when I forgot my cards, called a river bet thinking I had top two pair, and I had nothing.
