   Peaked to early

   I played in a low limit cash game last night, a version of horse.
   Holdem, Omaha hi/lo, and stud. 2/2/1.
   Its a 3 hour session from 7-10 and we all go home.
   Well everyone wanted to keep playing, i think i got out at about 11:20ish, no clue how late they played.
   I maintained chip lead the entire night, was up to 85$ from a 10$ buy in by 9:45.

   In 30 minutes that followed i played approximently 7 hands.
   I lost all 7. In each hand I put the person all in on the turn, and had him between a 10%-20% draw.
   by 10:15 I had 15 bucks left.

   I think my Most memeroable hand, even though i remember every single one of them lol.
   was this :

   I have 33.
   Limp in to the flop.
   Flop comes J36.
   Rainbow.
   I bet out 1.50. Get raised by Brent to 3.
   I slow play call.
   Turn comes J. Bingo.
   I bet, he raises, i re-raise all-in, he calls.
   He has KJ for trip J's with a K kicker.
   I have a boat 3's Full of J's.
   River was a K.
   :(

   2 or 3 hands later he gets sucked out on the same exsact way except it all happend on the flop.
   This kid that beat him put his money in with trips needing a K for the boat. But he had 2 cards to go instead of 1.
   So its a suckout, but he had 2x the chances to win as Brent did the hand b4.
   so as he is bellyaching about getting sucked out on, i say "You lost those chips the same way you got them."
   Which apparently stuck a nerver :). Because he disagreed.
   He said and i quote "All you had was 3's full of jacks, I had trip jacks. You were barely ahead."
   The table all giggled. lol.
   So for anyone new, just know, a Flopped boat barely beats turned trips.

   • Yeah, good point there, K. That's why I always have my full houses big over small ;) I just fold if it's not aces full, really... Ok, not really. One out of 16 times that will actually matter - kinda weird.

   • That is a nice mixed game.

     The three 6's are also outs (unless it is Omaha).
     So he has 7 outs = 14%
     Still a very bad suck out.

   • And that didn't even work? Maybe you need an example... If I put 11 black marbles and 1 white marble in a bag, the chance of your full house coming to beat the other full house is like drawing that white marble... 11 out of 12 dentists agree those are not good odds!

   • 3 K's 1 J=4 outs=8%
     I gave it to him like a math equation afterwords lol.

   • It's common knowledge a full house is just a little ahead of trips. Come on!

     That's some rough stuff, dude. Sounds like a good game to be in, though.
