Given that you didn't lose very much money, i'm having trouble understanding the thread title?

AJGibson · #4 07-28-2006, 09:16 AM

MP2 donk bets on the on the flop and you flat call with bottom set with a flush draw out there, WHY? Doesn't seem like a good move to me.

At which point did you think that calling a 1/12th PSB would help build the pot?

I'm having trouble understanding anything in this post. Is the hero the poster? Is hero MP3 or MP2? Confusing.

What's hard to understand.

Hero is MP3, pretty sure he's the poster, managed to escape with bottom set. BB suffers a nasty bad beat, to a player that made one of the stupidist calls ever.

Yes that is correct. I folded the bottom set and allowed the guy with top set to get shafted by the donk in MP2. As for why I flat Called my set to the donks poofter Flop bet - I had 2 reasons - the first was that this donk seemed to Call anyones Raises but mine and secondly I was hoping that someone else would Raise for me. I got what I wanted but the magnitude of the Raises led me to believe ..... well, you know the rest.
