When your losses in one day are ten times larger than the guy who lost second most money on the site, you know that you had a very bad day. It doesn’t happen so often, but yesterday this dubious feat was made by URnotINdanger2. The main benefactors of this downturn were heASHMAN103 who won $408K playing $200/$400 NLHE and tibster24 with $289K in the $300/$600 NLHE game.
URnotINdanger2 makes a very nice call on the river to win a $174K pot.
Even the darkest days can have its bright spot, and for URnotINdanger2 it came in the form of winning the largest pot of the day. It wasn’t without its difficulties though, and calling a pot sized bet on the river with only third pair and a potential flush on the board is no laughing matter. Of course, if you have a lot of these decisions the variance increases immensely so maybe that is the reason for his poor result on this day.
Tibster24 turns a set to crack URnotINdanger2’s kings. $172K pot
Obviously, getting your big hands cracked doesn’t help much either. This hand was a real cooler for URnotINdanger2 and there was no way to get away from it. When his opponent moves in on the turn he could be on all kind of draws, so the kings are a significant favorite against most of the hands in tibster24’s range.
theASHMAN103 flops two pairs but has a lot of draws to fade before he scoops the $137K pot.
Ever feel like your opponent can play any kind of hand against you and still win? Try 32 offsuit and you get an idea of how URnotINdanger2’s day was. Even though theASHMAN103 flopped two pairs, URnotINdanger2 was a slight favorite with his top pair and flush draw, but in the end it didn’t help him much.
URnotINdanger2 tries a move at the wrong time. $131K pot
URnotINdanger2 flops top two pairs and wins a $130K pot.
theASHMAN103 flops two pairs and gets paid off when URnotINdanger2 turns top pair. $108K pot.
