Best Poker Tips

Yesterday we had our weekly poker evening with some friends at my place. All evening I had played pretty well, but unfortunately my stack didn’t grow much, it went even down and in a bout 2 hours I was down some €50. I was down to my last 10 euro when I finally came back after those 2 horrible hours.

But then I played a hand which I will not soon forget. See below what happend:

I was dealt;
  

My opponent (who was stack leader all evening) had;
 

My openent was playing very loose and very aggresive, like a real maniac with a lot of luck. So when he raised before the flop I didn’t expact him to have a premium hand (really strong hand), so I decided to just flat call him.

The flop came;
  

He flopped his two pair but I flopped my flush (with even a change to get a straight flush), so he was defniately going to be in a world of hurt this hand! 

After some betting, raising and re-raising I decided he wasn’t getting away from this hand anymore, and put him all in. After a long and dreadful contemplation he called.

Then the turn card came a Jack;
    

At this moment he had about four outs (two 6’s and two Aces, of wich one was already folded by another player) so he had 3 outs, giving him a little under6% chance to win the hand. But like I said before, he was getting the best of luck all evening and playing like a maniac so guess what happend when the river card came out?!
        

He made his Full House on the river and I could say bye to most of my chips….

But you know what they say;

That’s Poker!
