Lost around $800 on a single poker hand tonight

[Cortez The Killer]

Omaha is like slots mixed with cards. There's a high chance you'll hit something but your opponent always has like 20 outs by the time the 5th card comes up.

I know. I dont really like omaha. It was dealer's choice. I always had the dealer play holdem for me, omaha is too crazy. It's silly to raise preflop. Trips are pretty much worthless..straights, flushes, boats are all fairly common.

But quads are something else..any game where there are no wild cards quads are the nuts 99.99% of the time.

quads vs. straight flush is always tragic regardless of what it happens in. Everyone else would've made that call tho. Come on he needs both cards that beat you and his chances of having both aren't that good. I'd've lost $800 there too.

I dont regret how I played it I agree I think everyone wouldve done the same in the position. But he did have a one-outer...definitely fold-able considering the high betting that was happening. It cost him a lot to see the flop, the turn, and the river.

I was hoping he was on a flush draw and when the river hit. I was happy he hit his flush b/c I knew I would then take all his money. I just didnt want him hitting a one outer on me

I was easily over 90% favored after the turn. It's not just the hand, it's how much I lost and the fact I pretty much assumed for all real world purposes my hand was pretty much unbeatable.

CC's to you and mick for talking cards! I play a lot of poker, but will probably take a couple weeks off after this. It was a pretty devastating loss..went from a very nice profit of $700 to losing about $60 net.. Guess I could busted out on my $200 buy in, but getting up so much then losing it all on one hand hurts, especially when thinking of what I was going to do with an extra $2,000.
