Three Intriguing Hands
Hello,
I’ve been playing $2-4 online for some time now and actually been trying so hard to be tight aggressive.
In a short span of time I’ve been into Poker, I’ve already experienced so many ups and downs and faced a lot of intriguing hands. There were three hands I can’t forget.
The first hand I lost to a straight flush, I have a full house. Second hand I don’t have directly anything to do but it was the very next hand and another straight flush was dealt. I’m curious how often such situation happens? Third and final hand, I had full house but lost to another full house pulled on the river by which was far better.
Well, first thought in my mind was that maybe I wasn’t that aggressive enough in terms of betting particularly on two hands I lost. But on the contrary, though I was aggressive enough the other player might still not fold therefore I could have lost even more.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Jamez
Jamez,
Without more information, I cant say whether you were not aggressive in your betting of hands. In regards to back to back straight flushes, that is very rare, but is possible. I personally have never seen it happen. I’ve seen two in the span of 10 minutes, but not in back to back hands.
In regards to your betting, you may have pushed someone out of the hand, but depending on how the hand unfolded, you may have lost more money as well. To be honest, you had three highly rare situations unfold there. They happen, and when they do, you will lose money. They are so rare that I would just look at them as what they are, abnormalities. Congratulate your opponent for a fortunate hand and take his money later.
