The Magic of Poker
It never ceases to amaze me how a set of Kings or even a set of Aces starts the heart pounding with anticipated gains of chips galore only to be smitten by a flush, straight, or full house. It is apparent that no matter what we have as a powerful or monster hand, someone seems to always pull a rabbit out of their hat.
I have found myself sitting with AA hole cards and anticipating a major win and just knowing it is one heck of a great start. Then , the worst happens, trip 5's land on the board....so you have a great full house, and then a J on the turn, and finally a deuce hits the river. You carefully assess the calls, raises and reraises and just know you have this hand ...but alas, some schmuck has the 4th 5 and slow plays this hand to death. End result, colorful metaphors describing the great Aces you had, and your bubble is burst. POP>
So we move on and realize we must prepare for the worst regardless of our hole cards. Consider all options, think about the other players' moves, and the strength of your hand versus the optimum possibilities. That is Poker, and to play strong and aggressively can be worthwhile, but you must always be aware that bad beats are just that. It can happen and often times happens too often, but don't get discouraged. Next time you may have the forth card to a nice set of quads and you can burst the bubble of the guy with KK or AA and just move on.
I always make sure I don't have too much of my bank dedicated in any room and be ready to lose and budget well to avoid major bad beats that will drive you back to the limit rooms for more joy and merryment. I have learned from bad beats and now I play every hand with the thought of the monster surprise hand being out there to quash my hopes and dreams.
Well, Now we all know, but let's put our mindsets into perspective and avoid plays that can trap us and know that wins can happen when you least expect it.
Have a great day.
