Dodging a bullet

Posted by CarbonPoker on 16th October 2007

All through Floptober I’ve been looking for big hands that get crushed by the monster that is a queen or higher set of quads. Everyone loves drama and what could be better than a full house kings over queens running into quad queens?

I almost found that exact story, but thanks to some tight play the kings were folded preflop. The player in question, toonces222, folded K-6 offsuit in early position, an easy call at that stage. With a K-Q-Q there probably weren’t too many regrets, but when the flop brought another king that probably changed. At that stage in the hand if your holding a king, your are pretty confident you have your guy beat. Anyone betting against you you would probably assume they hold a queen and you have them beat or they hold a king and its a split pot. You don’t expect to get crushed by quads there.

Luckily toonces222 had laid down his king preflop, so the only person losing their money to Gucharo and his quad queens was pargrande and his J-7 offsuit, I won’t comment on that.
