How To Learn To Hate Pocket Queens
Raise with Q-Q four times the big blind. Get one caller. See a K-Q-8 rainbow flop. Go all in with $750 after guy bets $200. Have him call and flip over A-J. Feel good about it when a 7 comes on the turn. Watch in horror as a ridiculous 10 comes on the river. Leave table after a whole 12 minutes. He risks his tournament life on what amounts to a gut shot straight draw and pulls it off. It's not right, it's not OK. When you play it like I did, you deserve better.
Do you ever feel like you're always on the losing end of bad beats without ever delivering any to anyone else? Don't worry; that means you're good player. You know how to play your cards, you know how to bet, you know how to fold, and these other people don't, and they just get lucky.
