Pulling the ripcord too late

It's all very well to have a ripcord to pull, but it does you no good if you pull it too late. That's what I did on Saturday night. I fell in love with a stealth two pair, and didn't figure out it was no good until the river. Even though I'd overspent to that point, it still made sense to fold there, so I did. I was up against two opponents and it was a virtual certainty that one of them had a straight. Since they both went to showdown, I was able to see that one of them did indeed have a straight - a Broadway straight at that. My stack was crippled, and I hit the rail shortly afterwards, an outcome I fully deserved.

  1. Neo,

    Please post some hand histories of the complete hand. It does the reader no good to get half of the hand. You didn't even post what you had or what the board was. Please just post the entire hand history.

    Thanks,
    Al
