I lost,..he's got QQ. The last player was drawing to the flush.
I was a wisker away from actually folding the boat on the river when he raised to all in. I even told him I want to fold. But the math forced me to call. I felt like Once we all checked the flop I played the hand poorly. It was a tough spot. Funny thing is I got him for about $165 about 20 minutes later when I flopped a set of 3's to his overpair and he called bets all the way to the river. He thought I was chasing the flush on this hand and was going to hit me with a raise on the river. However, the river was the 3rd heart and also paired the board with top pair on board, so he just called another small bet.

missed that you had 22 but i would suggest folding 22 in that situation pre ,...long term gain is minimal if any then if ya hit set ya see the trouble with that oversetted or non paring river flush
22 is a mistaken race even... people think its a true race vs an ak or such
but they forget that it can be conterfitted by a 3344 board and so on and so on so that brings the math down a little
bottom line at a 1/2 nl tbl with not a huge risk to overall bankroll ya gotta call river there once ya hit boat tough break glad to see ya got em back
\
on a side note it must be winter cuz i am running ice cold but its wierd cuz the river seems to be hot
just one 268$ pot though as i was typing 666 flop 2 turn 2 river
33 vs 32 lol guy prob thought he was playing his 3 2's

I would never race 22 at a cash game table. In a tournament in a "do or die" situation,..sure.
I got myself into trouble when I decided to see the flop for the $15 against two players that I know are well rounded players. Then when the flop came KQ-2 and all of us checked, I should have listened to my "spidey sense" telling me something here isn't right. Next problem for me was that the turn was an obvious blank. With the pot being only $50, I did a terrible job at controlling the size of the pot. Instead of throwing out a pot size bet, I should have thrown out a feeler of $15,..maybe $20. My bet got myself to committed to the pot. Especially since my stack was bigger than both of their stacks. I could go on and on about the continued mistakes I made in this hand as the river sends out another 6 which is most likely another blank unless by some miracle one of the other two players called preflop with 66 and just drew down quads since the flop checks have allowed him to turn trips and hang around.
Bottom line is,..I screwed myself over and over in that hand. Good part is it's the only hand I lost all weekend for more than $75 that went to the river where I was way behind or basically drwaing dead the entire time.
On a positve note I hit two seperate pots against much weaker players where I had free rolling flush draws and nailed them both for a total of about $500.
I think I'd rather be calling the $15 pre in the situation I was in with the 22 with something like runners or one gappers, especially when suited.

1 minute to learn a lifetime to master that's why i love it so much
sounds by your post you strive to be a better player and you seem to reflect well on past hands that's the right direction to go
do you play any multi tourneys or just sit and go's and cash??
and has it been locals and familiars down there or is there fresh money? and what has been the average age range down there for am and pm session's? waitlist? and room rates for weekdays??whats the buzz been for the lower buy-in's wpt events think they will cap or day of would be doable?
any info would help busy october for discgolf but november seems to be a more likely return to live action for me
hoping to at least get 1 in on wpt while there around but i hate to cash in first 1 and have no time to move up the latter
thanks for any info

A real estate developer who hopes to build a resort-style casino in Massachusetts said he has an option to buy more than 200 acres along Interstate 495 in Milford and has lined up a partner.
Developer David H. Nunes said he and his partners, Las Vegas-based Warner Gaming, will make a presentation tomorrow night to the Milford Board of Selectmen that will include a site plan and “conceptual ideas” for the property.
As a sign he is stepping up his effort to build the casino, Nunes was at the Statehouse Thursday meeting with legislators who represent Milford and surrounding towns, he said. He said he wanted to address questions about “traffic and other concerns” among lawmakers.
“Massachusetts, if one were to look at the state as a whole and look at how successful the lottery has been, you have a propensity among the residents to enjoy this form of entertainment,” Nunes said in a phone interview Friday.
The type of casino Nunes is proposing, something like a Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, is facing perhaps the most favorable political climate ever from the state’s political leadership. But there is some fierce opposition around the state
Last month, for the first time, House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo announced his support for allowing resort-style casinos in Massachusetts. Previously he had supported only slot machines at racetracks.
Gov. Deval Patrick and Senate President Therese Murray also support large casinos as a way to create jobs and capture tax revenue that casino backers say is leaving the state and going to Connecticut resorts.
Patrick’s proposal to license three resort casinos was defeated last year, largely because of opposition by Salvatore F. DiMasi, DeLeo’s predecessor.
The Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies will hold a hearing Oct. 29 on 17 bills related to expanded gambling in the state. Seth Gitell, spokesman for DeLeo, said a House bill could be ready as soon as January.
Nunes first met with Milford selectmen last year to gauge their openness to a casino. At the time, he told them he was also exploring other sites in the western suburbs of Boston.
But Friday Nunes said he is focused on Milford now and is not involved in any other casino proposals.
Nunes said he is preparing now, in hope that legislation allowing casinos will be signed into law early next year.

Foxwoods Classic $1/$2
Seat 1 A Wingnut,.. Know to be nuts by anybody that plays there regularly. Will routinely raise preflop $15 - $25, 8-12 hands in a row, no matter what he has. He goes on massive tilts when things start to go bad. He goes through huge swings in money because he's a very agreeive bettor. Pots get very expensive with him quickly because you have to make a massive raise on him to get rid of him. Twice this weekend he went through $700 in 2 hands. Has about $600-$700. I played on his table directly to his left for 5 hours and he went through $1,200 in front of him on the table and another $300 out of his pocket after that.
Seat 3 A guy who I don't really know and has been at the table about 2 hours. Showed down a couple marginal hands. Has $350
Seat 8 Me. I’ve got $235 and just sat back down after going for a 20 min walk
There are a bunch of $2 calls including seat 3. Action to me, I call $2. Nutball (seat 1) bets $15. Seat 3 and myself call. There's about $55 in the pot.
Flop comes A-10-4 (rainbow). Everybody checks. Turn comes. I think it was a 7 but I’m not positive. Whatever it was it didn’t concern me.
Seat 1 bets $25.
Seat 3 Calls
Seat 8 Me. I make it $125. This leave me with $95
Seat 1 (Wingnut) Instafolds
Seat 3 thinks for about 30 seconds and finally calls
River comes King
Seat 3 checks
Seat 8 Me,..I move all in
Seat 3 Calls. Shows a set of Kings. Beat my A-Q. I nearly threw up.

Rob's house the Saturday night. Five of us playing cash game after a long night of cards, last hand of the night. .25-.50 no limit, I raise from the button with big slick suited to 2.50, two callers(one of them Jerel, who could be holding ATC). Flop comes A, 7, 5 two diamonds(I have hearts). Jerel bets out 6.00, other player calls, I just call. Turn comes a maybe a 2? not a diamond. Jerel bets 15.00, next player calls fairly quick and is all in. After a few minutes I lay it down, figuring to be beat. Jerel turns over A, Q 
, and the other player has a straight draw, open ended. River comes K, and I am crying all the way home. I almost made the crying call figuring to be beat. Man was I mad for not calling that last bet.

What to do.
Flop A,10,10
Turn A
river 10
We check the whole way. After the river he goes all in. Is he trying to win an almost certain split pot (big blinds at the time) or does he actually have a better hand? What would YOU do.

First of all, I never would have let it get there. A 1/2 to 3/4 pot feeler bet after the turn would've given you enough information to figger out how to proceed. That said, If I had a near-fatal stroke while the cards were being dealt & came to just in time to find myself in the situation that you describe, I'd get outta the way unless I had an A or the 10 (and you didn't). Too much investment for too little return (assuming blind/stack ratio is not getting critical).
Cheers & chings!

Some of you may find it cool that my father is seated at Foxwood's World Poker Tour Main Event's $10,000 buy-in tourney which started just over an hour ago. His name is Jeff Mack and you can follow the leaderboard updates when they become available here...

If he takes it down I get to build a disc golf course somewhere....
