yadr

Last night, in the first tournament I entered, I suffered being on the losing end of yadr - yet another deluxe redraw. As a refresher, here's the definition (from my January 11, 2018 post):

In poker parlance, a redraw is when one player is ahead of another after the flop, the places get reversed on the turn, and then the places get reversed again on the river. In my parlance, a deluxe redraw is when one player is ahead of another before the flop, the places get reversed on the flop, the places get reversed again on the turn, and finally the places get reversed yet again on the river.

Before the flop, I was a 57.15% favorite. After the flop, I was a 20.20% dog. After the turn, I was an 86.36% favorite. Unfortunately for me, my opponent hit a straight on the river, and I lost over half my stack in a New York minute. This was on hand 17, and I went into grinding mode, finally hitting the rail 49 hands later.
