Chasing the Flush and the Straight

[Former]

OK we all know this is bad, but I just went all-in with a late pair of Aces and sweet FA on the table with all but two others folded, only to have those two people hit a flush on the river. $80 down.

I MEAN... COME ON!

It doesnt matter. You will eventually get their money.

If you're on the flush draw going to the river they are a 20% or 1 in 5 chance of hitting it.

If the two callers were getting better than 4/1 pot odds then they made the right call.

If not, then as skipper said, you will get their money in the long run.

This month I have been losing with KK, AA more times than I've won with it.

So frustrating when that happens.

I take little solace from the fact that they are poor players and I made the right decision.

It is especially frustrating when you have been in the damn tournament for 4 or 5 hours and consequently exit with nothing.

There were four people at the table, one folded on the flop so they were getting little better than 2 for 1 odds. And they BOTH hit it.

Let it go.
