Hey all,
I had to talk about this “bad beat” for lack of a better term. I was playing This Morning in a Freeroll on Cake. I was playing real, solid ABC poker and then, my brain froze and I melted. I self-destructed in 15 seconds. Here is the hand history from the hand. I had fun with the highlight feature of MS Word. I don't think it's gonna show-up though. I'm Phoenix7 in the hand history.

Key:
Red: My chips
Yellow: The cards
Turquoise: My betting
Dark Orange: The Showdown.

So I raised from the BB with JsTs. I showed the intuitive. The flop comes down, but I didn’t note the 8 till the turn. Suddenly I see I have a two way Flush draw! I start calculating Card odds and Pot odds. The total pot was 930, bet 300 easy math. I rounded-up to 900+300 = 1200/300 = 4:1 (actual odds 4.1:1) so 4:1 is 20%. Card odds 16%.
Thus: Pot odds of 20% is > Card odds of 16%. I SHOULD HAVE CALLED!!!

I let it go because the clock was buzzing and I got flustered. Should have hit time!

This sucks. Don’t let it happen to you. Stay cool and don’t get flustered!

I would have won, BIG, but I let the clock make me nervous.

I misspoke. I let the beeper bully me into a fold. 4 cards for a Q or 4 for a 7. 8x2=16%

I'll keep that in mind What about the 3, 5, 8 & 9? They pair the board and may help the opponents hand, correct?

You wouldn't happen to know on average how long a freeroll would take with say some 350 players?

don't loss hope & don't feel bad , dude!!.. you played well..

I am very happy to have such a powerful player as Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi in our little ol' forum!
