The Curse of the Two Outers

by **LuparFiend** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:41 am

In the last 24 hours, I've been rivered by two outers THREE times! And these aren't hands where I call a raise with the big hand. NO! I make big raises and they call me with thier crap pairs.

Two of them were at bet365 1/2 limit. Back to back hands. yes, thats right, BACK TO BACK!

I'm in the small blind with two red queens. 3 limpers in front of me, oncluding Mr Donk1. I raise, and everyone calls. Flop comes A, X, X, with the the X's being clubs. I bet, everyone calls. Turn is another club. Now I'm afraid that someone has a flush. or maybe an A. But I fire out again, just to see what happens. This time 2 callers, and 1 folder. River is the [5h]

. I Bet again, Mr Donk1 Raises, and other dude folds. I figure I'm beat and wait for him to turn over a baby flush or [Ac]

, X for the missed flush. Nope, he turns over [5d]

for the rivered set.

I then proceed to tell him how much of a donk he is, and says to me, "Man, you made a bad call. Couldn't you figure out when I raised I had a good hand?"

Very next hand, I get AKs on the button. I limper, I raise, MrDonk2 in the SB calls, as does limper. Flop comes K, J, x rainbow. Mr Donk2 bets, limper calls, I raise, all call. Turn is an A giving me top two, Checked to me, I bet, Mr Donk2 calls. River is a 9. He turns over pocket 9's for the RIVERED SET again!

I am getting so sick of limit poker, it's not even funny.

And then this dandy this morning in a $6 Turbo SNG at Stars.

2nd hand of the SNG. I limp with pocket 2's , then call a raise just to see if I can hit a set.
