On Saturday night, I hit the felt when I called a polarizing bet an opponent made on the river. A polarizing bet is one which indicates that the bettor either has nothing, or has the nuts. There's nothing in between. In such cases, you have to rely primarily on your gut to tell you whether to fold or call. What made my decision harder was the fact that I'd hit a straight on the turn. The river card paired the turn card, putting full houses into play, but I just didn't believe my opponent had one. I was wrong. C'est la vie!
In other news, over the weekend I wrote the utility to figure out just how lonely the loneliest pot of my career was. My guesstimate was way off. I'd figured the loneliest it could be was about twenty lost hands in either direction, but the actual number turned out to be thirty.
