Dangerous board. I had just sat down, so I don't have any reads. I've got to be beat here, right?

I'd probably raise less on the flop (maybe to $15) and definitely fold here.

i hate these hands.

every time i call UTG has a str8 and SB has a set

every time i fold UTG has 9A and SB has 66

i think it's actually pretty close, you'll see draws here pretty often, but you'll be behind pretty often..... hmmm.... i hope someone can come up w/ a more lucid explanation.

Fold.

Fresh out of lucidity.

$30 to win $127 or so doesn't look too bad, but I'd say 99.5% of the time you're beat. Honestly, I probably puke after seeing that flop 4 ways. If raising, it's no more than to $15-16 and I probably fold to pressure. I might even just flat out fold to the donk bet readless.

Really?? This type of situation may be why I suck at poker.

Make a comment about dumb fish, punch your monitor, then fold. Standard.

This is about how it actually happened, except instead of punching the monitor I threw my bottle of water at the wall across the room.
