Poxit

Last night's session ended abruptly. On my final hand, I was dealt pocket fours, and an opponent who had me covered went all in. My brain told me to fold, but my right index finger wasn't listening. I honestly can't say if it was a case of my poker id overruling my poker superego, or if my click on the call button was simply an unfortunate fingerfehler. This happens to me occasionally, and it flummoxes me every time. My opponent's holding was AJo (ace jack offsuit), so I was actually a slight favorite to win the hand, but is was essentially a coin flip. Result? Another 0th place.

Poxit

Last night's final hand inspired my latest neo neo - poxit. A poxit is what has befallen you when you were dealt a pocket pair, went all in with it, and hit the rail.

This is an excerpt from my August 5, 2019 post. Last night, I had another poxit, exiting the stage when my pocket nines lost to an opponent who had a king in his hand and hit a pair of kings on the river.

Poxit

Last night's final hand inspired my latest neo neo - poxit. A poxit is what has befallen you when you were dealt a pocket pair, went all in with it, and hit the rail. Quite often a poxit will be due to running into a bigger pocket pair. That's what happened to me last night; I was dealt pocket nines, and lost to pocket jacks. Just for fun, I ran the numbers, and discovered that of the 946 times I've hit the rail in my MTT-R NLHE career, fully 180 were poxits. That's 19.03%, and is somewhat surprising.
