carbon almost made me piss on myself last night

this is for you poker junkies who dream of the big hit..i am in a ring game last night on a bad beat table with 30 dollars starting, 2 hrs later i am 200 in chips on same table, things going pretty good than the hand for hell came..i have AQ spade suited, villian has KK..he bets 5, i am in bb pos. so i just call..board comes K spade, j spade and 10 heart, so far i have the nutz with a royal or flush draw..villian bets 10 and i reraise to 20..villian bets all in for 220 so i pause, i got a straight with a royal flush or flush draw as well so i call 125 all in..next 2 cards..10 and river 2.. Villians collects 420 with full house..GTF outta here..should i have fold or never call... :p:p

Lol he was way behind..but on Carbon only bad players win! So start playing bad and rise up ur BR!=)

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooolerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Remember that on carbon poker bad players win. Not that complicated! hhahahahaha

Thats such a sick beat. I dont know how you get away from that after flop. preflop tho i hate AQ and so do alot of pros, its one of those hands that will lose you ALOT of money!!

A-q sux big moose ballz.

Open fold prelop. Never play a hand with any card higher than a jack on carbon.

daaaaaaaaaaam thats horrible just another day in day out beat haha ;) would of been soooooo cool if ya hit the bbj

i think the hand played itself out. i think both players played it correctly. he has to push you hear. how can he put you on floping the nuts. he could have played it a litttle slower. but if you start making calls and folds based on the chances of an online bad beat you will continue to loose. this is going to happen live more than what you would think. take the bad beat go smoke a joint and forget about the hand coz u played it perfect and there is nothin you could do.

You should have done what you done. Nobody is going to fold the nuts, a draw to the ultimate nuts, plus how can you put anyone on KK in that situation. We always assume we're good in that situation. Also, if you're in a bad beat table, and you're thinking about folding, then you shouldn't play the bad beat tables. You made the correct play, whether or not it was a bad beat table or not, but given that it was a bad beat table, hell yes you made the correct play.

wow Now I have to totally change how I play LMAO

seems to me both plays were justified ... that's just the way Poker goes

Ugh, I hate that for ya. I have had the same thing happen so many times makes me a lil leary playing on what looks like a good starting hand. Hope you luck gets better, as for me if I didnt have bad luck wouldnt have any luck at all; lol Better luck on the felt

I would have left the table when I got up to $200.

ya thats a bad beat... you had nuts on flop, you cant fold - its just how carbon works

i agree with you 100%, that was my goal, this hand came right after i made the logical decision, play my bb and sb and leave..this hand came in the bb..AQ now the fold issue was not going to happen..lol..but oh well, it won't stop me for going for the big one, 1 truly big one and i am done with online poker...and of course this is not good br thingking...:p:p

not surprised

Bottom line...whatcha gonna do? I do not think it can be argued that it should have been played differently. The only way around it would have been to fold the cards of which you were not (nor would I have been) willing to do. When all the chips were in the pot, you had him beat and he pulled. It's gonna happen. His chips were at risk as well and think how he felt when the cards flipped up and before the next card turned. Like crap for an instant no doubt. Just be glad you only had $30 out of pocket at the table and just gave back the winnings. You would have felt a lot worse if you bought in for $200 and this was the first hand!

wow now that is a real muther focker I feel the pain from here bro makes u want to rethink everything damn

I can't say,,,I suck at NL ring games,,, that's just a fact,,,,sry about the beat he put on you,,,had to sting

I can not tell you how many times I have gotten screwed in live or online cash games because I didn't fold my big and small blinds like I told myself I would! HATE when things like this happen.

A very tough beat, not much you could have done in this situation but I agree with earlier post I would have left as soon as I hit $200

i have been playing carbon poker for a while now and i think it is great

poker is gay...outsmart them all day and run so bad.

Two things wrong with this post

One thing you mention that you paused? insta karma for slowrolling the nutz LOL

2nd thing is sounds like a $1/$2 game? but idk you need to say what limits your playing, kinda helps..lol

First off.............that is a really tough beat and it sucks to lose all you hard won winnings that way and in one hand. Second of all.............anyone who thinks it has anything to do with internet poker, MERGE, or Carbon specifically, is not only an idiot, they clearly have very few hours of live poker in their experience. That is poker, plain and simple. I could write a book about that kind of tough beat I've personally taken; or been at a table playing "real" brick and mortar poker and watched it happen to others. Lastly, most of us will remember the bad beats we've had to take much more than the wins when we may have done it to others. Play some poker and I guarantee you'll have it happen again, sometimes for you and sometimes against you.

I could write a book about all the tough beat i have had too. People that complain about carbon, listen here. Its not carbon or merge that is handing out all these tough loses. Its simply internet poker, with out sitting and being able to see your opponets it is really hard to play at times. Not to mention a hand that would possible have been laid down in live poker is called in online poker for those simple reason. Honestly how many times have you laid down a hand lets say to a big raise post flop and by the time the river card comes out u say "Damn I would have won that" runner runner str8 or flush.

I play live poker everyday of my life and in online poker hands dont get laid down the same as they do in live poker. its that simple

that sucks.always that 1 hand we risk our whole bankroll on.

Everyone got a lot of love in Poker
