This is an old Facebook note that I wrote after I played a big hand in 5 5 NL @ Shorty's Poker Room from February, 2011:
"
Ok Everyone has done it atleast once whether they admit it or not, but the way it has happened to me is just sickening and I can't get it out of my mind.
I decided to take a chance at 5 5 nl at Shorty's, my local casino's poker room and bought in for 200. This game is very beatable even with the short stack that i bought in for as long as you play smart and pick spots wisely. well 3rd hand into it I look down at 7d7c in late position and I'm munching on my freshly bought shrimp poboy. There are 2 limpers to me and I limp along with 2 others and the sb and bb check to see a flop $35 in the pot
Flop comes *6h 5d 2h* and I am thinking I have an over pair but there is a flush draw on the board. guy UTG bets $20 1 caller, I call, and Button calls. I am thinking there is no way someone has 43 and just slow played the straight. I am guessing someone hit top pair at best and the other 2 are on a flush or straight draw or has middle pair. $115 in the pot I have $165 left.
Turn is the 7h (I hit my set but very cautious about the flush and straight) Guy who bet $20 Bets $100 this time and next guy folds to me, I tank for a bit (still eating my poboy) then Flat hoping to fill up on the river and the button just calls. $415 in the pot. I seriously think someone has the flush and I am behind but if the board pairs I hit my boat and scoop the pot. I have measely $65 left and before they flip the river I'm asking myself why the hell i didnt just shove it all in before the River even fell. (Played this hand horrible)
River is the 3s, Blank for me but it now puts a 4 card straight out there** and the guy who has been betting checks, I check to the button and he tanks for a little while then bets $200, the original better calls. I look at my 77 shake my head then fold it FACE UP. The people at the table immediately look at me confused and say you fold that?? wow? how do you fold that? I said well there is a flush and straight on the board they have to have that. Guy on button says I have a boat and shows 22. I look at him kind of confused. Guy on the other end of the table said, Dude the board is paired!! I stand up and look at the flop closer. The flop is **6d 6h 2h**....... (Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk) I just threw away the winning hand.....FACE UP at that and would have won a nice pot of about $550-600. Instead I get the misery of feeling like an idiot. One of the guys I've played against alot and have history with continuously rubbing it in my face that i folded the winning hand...that was an expensive sandwich....he can't believe I folded that.... I told him I thought it was a 5d not 6d Clearly if I would have noticed that I wouldn't have folded. Guy on the button just shrugs, smiles, and scoops the pot. I dump $300 more on tilt and trying to catch up what I just donated. but end up busting when my Qs 7s flop pair of 7s and flush draw but miss all my outs vs. JJ Definitely one of the most embarassing experiences Since I've been playing this roller coaster game and worst part is I can't get it out my head. IDK what caused me to see a 5 instead of 6 from the get go and thinking I was beat.....but plain and simple it happened. I wish I could go back in time, throw that fucking Shrimp Poboy in the garbage and just sit focused on the game.
Well that's it. That is how I went from potentially being +500 for the day to -500 for the day meh. If I only had a brain...
Enjoy my idiocracy"
