The difference between success and failure in poker can sometimes hinge on a single outcome. Last night, I played for over two hours, and 140 hands; however, it was the result of just one hand, which took less than a minute to play, which sealed my fate. Even though I came out a loser on the night, I know I played well enough to win. Here's what happened:
On hand 26, I was dealt Ks Jh. The flop came Kc Ad Kd, and it was checked all around. The turn was 5s; I bet $500, then got into a raising war with another player I had covered, and ended up going all in. He'd been dealt 3h Kh, and hit a full house on the river. I was a 70.45% favorite after the turn, with an additional 22.73% chance of chopping the pot; that means I lost to a 6.82% dog.
Had the odds held up, I would have won a pot worth $67,230; instead, I lost $33,740. C'est la guerre!
