You are so right. <br /><br />I do wonder why the dealer didn't ask the player to look at both cards before flipping one over, that's just common sense. But she was SO sure she knew which one it was.....Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-81915546636825625192012-02-04T08:53:56.064-08:002012-02-04T08:53:56.064-08:00Ugh.

There was no strategy at all that I could see, other than trying to figure out what was a good starting hand. I know I flopped a lot of sets that didn't hold up. I never bet them because they seemed like losers to me. Once I won with a set and almost fainted. Sorry about the bad beat, losing with a boat to quads is enough to make anyone give up playing poker.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-73263664091670326512012-02-04T08:49:36.967-08:002012-02-04T08:49:36.967-08:00Hmmm.....I think I'll try that....next time I ...Hmmm.....I think I'll try that....next time I play poker, I'm insta-folding pocket Kings and insta-shoving 2-4.

I ...Thanks for continuing to focus on pocket Kings. I am sure that some bad karma rubbed off on me as I played Omaha on BCP last night. My final play started with two Kings in my hand. The flop brought a King, so the play went raise, re-raise, all -in -- you know the routine. Unfortunately, the villain flopped a set of 4's and was ecstatic, I am sure, to see the case 4 come on the river, snatching the $100+ pot right out of my grimy mitts. *sigh*lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-80886149993452359052012-02-03T03:12:41.606-08:002012-02-03T03:12:41.606-08:00Maybe you should just play the mighty 2-4 like Pok...Maybe you should just play the mighty 2-4 like Poker Grump advises.....it never losesManInBlacknoreply@blogger.com
