One of those hands.... GRRRR

Ok... I'm on Doyle's Room in a 1-2 limit game, and the room is doing ok for me... I'm up about $30. There are two Tight Agressive Good players on the opposite end of the table, and a loose aggresive weak player two players to my left, the rest of the room, pure producers with VPIPs 50-70. Life was doing ok.

So I'm in the small blind with a 6-6 not the greatest, but I'm feeling lucky. some donky raises in a late position and is called by the very loose player before me. The hero (me) makes a loose call, followed by the big blind. So the pot is a $8, I figure if I don't hit, I run.

So what do you think comes out? 6-5-5 !!! A full house on the flop! Now I'm thinking, keep it cool boys, real cool. We have to get these suckers to nibble a little bit. It's unlikely that they are holding a 5 in a raised pot, unless it's with an Ace lover, so I check. The big Blind checks and Sure enough the donkey who raised bets, followed by a raise by the donator to my right. I think about re-raising, but I figure my odds of losing it now are pretty low no matter what happens, and I figure they're probably going to reinact this whole thing again. So I call, and so does the big blind. Making the pot a healthy $16

The next card, a Queen, making the board a nice 6-5-5-Q. So all I really need to worry about is pocket QQ. I'm not really worried about that, so I check again, to see if I can get them to play. Suddenly the big blind bets, and I'm like ooh goody, he has a Q! Then the other two muppets call, so I raise it up, and the BB re-raises me!! Kermit and Piggy don't know what's happening, so they come along for the ride another two times as I cap it! All said and done we have a nice pot of $48. I'm already counting my beers.

The river card comes and it's a 5. DOOM!!! 6-5-5-Q-5. At this point I'm almost certain the big blind has the Q, and someone else has a pocket pair, but still that would give them 5s full of shit compared to my 6s full of 5s, unless it was pocket Queens, which wasn't very likely if you assume the big blind reacted to the Q drop, and didn't re-raise pre-flop. So I bet, the big blind raises and, of course, now the other morons think it's time raise, so it gets back to me with one raise left. Suddenly I realize that it is possible this F***er could have a 5. He just have entered from the Big Blind with A5 suited. So I actually type, 'I hope you don't have the 5 :-(' And just to see what happens, I only call (I should have just raised, but I had just been given a Loviian premonition) and sure enough he caps it, and everyone gets annoyed at having to call another round especially me who now needs to flush $2 down the toilet to verify my guess. Well that big blind? Yeah, he didn't have the Queen I had originally thought he had... he had that damned last 5 along with an Ace that didn't match none too good. At least the original raiser had pocket kings, and we couldn't get the other guy to even lie about what was in his hand (probably Ace-6 off suit or something stupid).

So now as I leave the table, I am a little more frustrated, then I wanted to be.

Maybe I should have laid down my hand when that third 5 dropped... but just couldn't believe it... not to mention how large the pot was, and I think I had at least the odds (getting about 35:1 at the start of the round) that my hand would hold up, and others just had the lesser full house, and thought it was good. In fact, I would imagine that the odds of them having either the 5, or the pocket Q was pretty low (the 5 lower chance then the QQs I would think, considering the raised pre-flop).

So I needed to share my bad beat, sorry for the 10 minutes out of your day.
