Folding trip kings there is so not “the road less traveled,” in these low/mid stake games. I’d snap fold ur hand. He has a flopped set turn boat or the Ah almost always
This almost sounds made up, but it happened to me in covid. I had aces 3 times in 1 orbit, I got all 3 all-in on the flop vs top pair... I lost all 3 to two pair by the river. Sometimes, you hate aces, yet still love them. Kind of like a toxic girlfriend
Last year I played at a poker club and got dealt aces THREE HANDS IN A ROW. The third time, person to my right says "if you show me aces I'll give you 30 right now". I bet preflop and everybody folds, but show the aces and got my 30 bucks yippie!
Seemed like a good Fold of KQo vs 4 hearts & KK, especially when the Villain led the River with $350. OMC played it like Pocket 44 or 55 for a Turned Boat.
3 times pocket AA, and neither time they were cracked??? WOW! That crap gets me in troubles only. When win I win small, when lose I lose big. Just hate to see them.
He already had a flush on the turn. Based on his disgust that Ben was able to fold the kings due to a 4th heart coming. That 4th heart doesn’t come and he wins a big pot probably.
Was there as you were playing this one - From AZ, but the Pepp is my new favorite all around casino, like the BB only format and good selection of slots.
Hey Ben, Music Trivia Master (musicaldice323) here. Regarding the KQ hand that you had: I was in a very similar situation last week when I played poker in Lake Charles LA. I had the KQ, and the betting went somewhat similar, and I called on the river. Tuens out, my opponent had AK for the win. I strongly suspect that's what your opponent had as well. Good fold!
I went to play 1/3 in my early days at my local casino & had to wait 30-40 minutes for a seat. While waiting, the guy beside me started up a conversation & we discussed several things over the course of the wait, however one thing we spoke about of note was how his favorite hand was Ten Eight of diamonds & how he gets straight-flushes with it often. I was called up for a seat first, bought in for the max, which was 400. My first hand was pocket aces. I didn't wait, I paid to play as soon as I sat down and raised when it came to me. My aces held, and I took down a couple hundred that hand. On my third hand, the guy I was speaking with sat down, & I got aces for a second time. I took down another large pot and I remember well that my stack was just over 1k. A couple more hands went by when the guy I spoke to about his favorite hand, took down a large pot for himself with non-other than Ten freaking Eight of diamonds and he hit a straight-flush with it. No joke, I was absolutely blown away, I kept trying to tell everyone at the table he literally called this would happen and he just sat there like it happens all the time. His stack was also up to about 1k. So if that isn't wild enough, on the last hand of my first orbit I got aces for a third time & no joke, that very guy who I was speaking about got pocket Kings. We got it all in after the flop and my aces held. I ran my 400 buy in to 2k in one orbit & got aces three times.
BEN ON THE 3 KINGS HAND YOU HAVE NO CALL THERE WHAT IF HE HAS AK AND IS BETTING TO PROTECT HIS HAND AGAINST YOU HAVING A SMALL HEART AK STILL BEATS YOU AND MAYBE WITH THE ACE OF HEARTS.........I THROW IT AWAY FASTER THEN YOU DID AND NEVER WONDER I KNOW THAT IM BEAT
It would take a pretty crazy player to bluff there. I think villian had a flush already and actually the river cost him action. Hence the “makes me sick” comment.
Pulp fiction is a decent movie, not anywhere close to Shawshank and definitely not even worthy to shine Forrest Gumps feet, although the director of Pulp probably would like to do that. Winning a 4k pot and managing to book a loss is award worthy tho.
