I was on line with quad aces contemplating how much to go over the top of villains river bet and also to show weakness when the clock had run out and my hand was folded. 😆
@@Barsikspit right, they should allow like bathroom bots that you can set to raise with Aces Kings or whatever range you want but only for 2 min or smt

I had he nuts and was all in waiting for my opponent to call or fold. He said "ok, you got it". I smiled and mucked my cards. He instantly tabled his hand and took the pot. He never said "Fold" so his hand was still live. That hand has stuck with me for almost 2 decades.
Here was mine. Often, UTG, I will peek at my first card once dealt, then the 2nd so that I'm ready to act quicker. This one time, I peeked down at a 7, then the 2nd card was also a 7. I raised and was called in 2 spots. Flop was A-6-7. I bet 1/3 pot, the button called other player folded, turn was another 6, I bet half and was check raised all in (started the hand at about $250, 1/3 game) I pretty much snap called. as the dealer was putting out the river, the V shows AK (with a flush draw) and I proudly flip over my 7-4 off suit.... WHAT:? I think what happened was the dealer tossed my 2nd card and it wend Under my first and I just looked at the same 7.. Oooops..
@jamieboi11 It matters more than he let's on but he's not a good player and terribly cocky. I'd love to see him play at a table with Garrett, Dwan, Ivey, Mick Mase, Hanks, Keating, Berke, and Ben. That would be some straight fireworks and wouldn't end well for Eric
Not me but a buddy in a little $5 home game gets to showdown at the river and goes "I have a straight", and I go "no, you have a flush" *two seconds pass* .... "wait. Bob you have a straight flush" 🤣
about 10 years ago in my first couple years of live poker, I played a hand with Ac,Tc in late position. I dont remember the exact action, but I had the nut flush on the river and my opponent shoved into me. I snap called and announced "nuts" and tossed my cards to the middle of the table. They were both red, and I got beat by a pair of 5s.
I made plenty of big mistakes, but typically at online cash games for low stakes. Biggest mistake I made that stands out in a live game was thinking I had a set of 3s and I actually had 22 in the hole.
Yeah I did something similar but it makes well less sense. I thought I had 10,7 of spades. Somehow I saw a 4 as a 10? so when the board comes out 4 to the straight and I think i have the straight to the ten, i start blasting away. Only to get called by someone who did have a 10, and realizing I somehow have a 4... felt like a hallucination.
Once I played on low sleep in a tourney, and I thought I had a flush-turned out I had the wrong suited cards, and needed the river to make high pair to save my skin.
I had J8 on a TQKxx board , and when the opponent said ,,all in" i instantly called thinking i had J9 for a straight and I lost my whole stack.Still haunts me to this day
Weird, I had the exact same hand w the same board but I shoved the river and checked my hand while my opp was tanking and realized I was bluffing. He folded but I was sweating after the re-check
I did the opposite I went all in with a four card straight and the sat there mystified when the dealer pushed the chips to the other guy. At least in my situation people just thought it was a bluff.
I once remembered my hand as JQ when it was actually JK and thought I rivered a straight when I had only one pair, I made a very large raise and my opponent folded and said I know you have the straight, I said good fold and turned over my cards only to find out that I bluffed both myself and my opponent. All’s well that ends well.
My worst blunder is I was on the button in Omaha-High. My hand had ace of hearts, 10 of hearts, and pocket 8s. The flop was all hearts and since I had the nuts I never looked at my hand. The turn and river were bricks and I had bet it the entire way. I got called by someone who had the king high flush... one tiny problem is that when I flipped my hand over to show the nuts... I somehow picked an addition card and had five cards in my hand. I don't know if the dealer dealt me an extra and I didn't notice or if someone accidently folded it into my hand... but the floor was called and my hand was declared dead because you can't play with five cards. Had I periodically looked at my cards during the hand then I would have noticed and the floor could have been called before I put all that money... but since I didn't I lost the pot despite having the nuts.
The worst I have ever done was years ago in a cash game. I flopped a set against an obvious heart flush draw. The flopped missed the flush but the river completed it. I asked if he had the flush and he tables it. I mucked my cards. I had shown my buddy next to me who wasn't in the hand my hand pre-flop. After I folded he looked at me and said you had a boat. I looked at the board again. The river that had given him the heart flush had paired the board. I was so focused on dodging the heart I was not paying close enough attention. Cost me a thousand dollar pot.
My first time playing poker at a casino, I didn't know proper etiquette. I turned quad jacks and attempted a string bet before being told my the dealer that wasn't allowed and I called his turn bet. Embarrassed, I made a small bet on the river, was called, and my opponent laughed and said "yeah I see why you did that."
At key point in late stages of a tournament with AA in the big blind, after a min raise to 15K and three callers including the Button and SB, I pulled out one 100K chip (which had just recently been added to the table) and tossed it over line, then said "raise" -- but after the chip had hit the felt. The dealer (properly) ruled that my one-chip bet was a call. Of course, one of the other players flopped two pair and cracked my aces, leading to my spiral down to being busted. Now, I always bet with TWO chips minimum whenever I'm raising. Lesson learned.
I was so hyper focused when I missed my River flush that I folded, and didn’t realize that the river cod gave me a straight, which would’ve been the winning hand. A very very fun day for me to be sure!
I think this was my very first live tournament. I had pocket kings in the small blind, still too stupid and scared and didn't raise them. I had like 3 other players including the BB come along. The flop comes down King King 4. The action was on me, I checked, the BB bet out somewhere about half pot. The other players folded. Came around to me. Today I'd just call the BB bet hoping he'd improve on the turn and river and keep paying me off, but early me just went all in. The BB folded so fast I think I heard the sonic boom. As an aside - any time I can see Persson getting stacked is a good day.
I was looking at my hole cards one at a time while they were being dealt and looked at the same card twice on accident, thinking I had a pocket pair(not realizing they were same suit lol). What made it worse, was I thought I hit a middle set and got all in on flop with what turned out to be middle pair
My worst mistake at the poker table happened when I was dealing at the WSOP. I pushed into a cash table, started dealing, then somehow dropped the deck exposing every card face up. Pretty much every player hated on me for it and my punishment was them berating me for the next half hour lol
Ouch that's rough, my uncle had that happen when dealing blackjack at the Luxor, got berated by the Pit boss. Evidently it was so bad one of the players (a whale) intervened on his behalf. Straight up told the pit boss if he didn't stop acting like a straight up A$$hole he and his friends would take their money elsewhere (0.o)
I remember being delt pocket Aces in middle position when UTG realized that the button hadn't been moved over. Some people didn't care while others were confused. UTG looked at his what must have been his lousy hand and mucked his card followed by a cascade of folds and the dealer called the hand dead. If looks could kill, the dealer would be burnt alive. 😆
@@Williy_Nilly OK so this happened to me just last week, there was misdeals twice within about an hour...first hand Aces...second hand Kings...I was fuming...but what can ya do?
At least you were not in a tournament dealing at the WSOP and when the players went on break and you were told to color up the chips.....you raked the chips from every person at the table into a pile.....like a dealer did this last year.....lol. So, it can always be worse!
Peaked at my hand preflop and saw aces, raised in early position, got 3-bet, shoved, and got called. Opponent said he had aces. I said me too and flipped A4 😂
Probably (almost certainly) not my biggest mistake, but just a couple days ago I misread the board on what would have been a chopped pot (thinking Villain’s kicker played when it didn’t) for about 250 (I mostly play 1/2) and mucked my cards face down instead of turning them up.
My worst blunder, pocket aces. That little bit of internal excitement made the curry I was having some issues digesting come out. Insta projectile vomit, hit the table and cards, a little on one player's arm. Those aces didn't pay off, had to leave. Didn't go back to a game there.
My mistake - I was in the 8 seat in a loud casino. I get into a battle vs the 1 seat. I flop a set. We get it all in on the flop. After the river I hear ", straight". So I muck. He shows a 4 card straight. Dealers confirms he said 4 card straight. DOH. Luckily he agreed to chop the pot w me. We play often together and he wasn't trying to angle. Lesson learned. I don't release my hand until they muck or show. If I think everyone has folded I hold my cards until the dealer awards me the pot. Pay attention! This wasn't intentional but some players will try to take Any advantage
Fwiw I believe hanks has 100k more than the graphics show, making a shove a little awkward, especially considering Eric can't be better than a 9 high straight. I think my worst mistake was folding a straight to a set in an all in 9k pot in a 5/5 plo game a few years ago. The other player made a set of aces on the river and for some reason I thought that bricked my million out hand. Realized it about 5 mins later and was too tilted to keep playing.
Obviously he's a fellow that can afford to be playing at these stakes and he will have learned from this. Every poker player who has ever flipped a chip can relate from a much lower denomination stand point. Even with perfect vision at the outside seats...at times we need to stand up or lean in to digest the board and resist the thought of what kind of tell the gesture expresses. Pilots go through checklists. No reason why poker players shouldn't execute one on big moments. Ego can cripple.
The biggest mistake I think I've made was in a live tournament. I had QJ suited in middle position and announced raise without noticing that an older tighter player had already raised from utg. I was forced to min raise, and when the flop came Q 2 2 and he c bet pretty chunky, I just folded not wanting to get too involved with the pot after messing up like that. He showed pocket 8s. still mad about that one.
I misread my had and believed I had Jacks when I had J/4. Not sure how that happened but it did. I hit a "set" and when I flipped my hand over triumphantly at the end and only had a pair of jacks with a 4 kicker I felt as stupid as I could have. The good news is that no one had any respect for me the rest of the game and I walked out with a out $200 in profit.
So you had the Robbi and let it make you out to be “not to be taken seriously” by others. As you said though, this let you walk out with a profit (and I’m guessing they didn’t believe you with the goods).
Not sure Jonathan little realizes how horrible Eric Person is. Person's literally down millions and millions and never wins. Just a guy with lots of money bleeding it off little by little. I mean he does something there (showing the card) that a player who's played poker for a week does. He's REALLY this bad and REALLY that dumb. I mean if you've ever heard him talk you wonder why he isn't walking around eating a bushel of bananas. These hand breakdowns and GTO theories just don't apply for guys like Person when you have him in a game. Hanks played the hand perfectly because he's beaten that guy for tons of cash in the past and can read him like a book after playing tons of hours against him.
IMO The reason that Hanks raised on the turn was to make it less likely range-wise to have Persson put him on a flush on the river. Why do you think Persson so audaciously showed a king? Because he put Hanks on a King himself (with a higher kicker) or even trips, which he beats with a straight. So re-raising was a good play in this scenario
*Literally* *the* *last* *poker* *hand* *I* *played* *would* *be* *the* *hand* After 25 years of playing poker this past week I was in a tournament and we were a few spots from the final table and it was blind vs blind I had JJ in the SB and BB raised I check-raised he calls flop comes JJQ (2clubs) I tank lead w a small 1/3 bet he calls. The turn is Ac I lead with another smallish bet he raises rather large as I’m thinking of flatting or jamming there. I forgot my computer disconnected way earlier and I had no time bank so as I’m moving the slider to shove I timed out and JJ was mucked it was a $50k guaranteed $55 buy in tourney and I bubbled the FT🤦♂️ I just tell myself surely he had Kc-10c to make myself feel better
I was playing limit holdem and held 2-2 in the SB. There was a raise, a bunch of callers, I called, BB 3 bet, and 8 players go to the flop. This was 20 years ago, which is why this situation might seem very odd. I missed the flop and it checked around. I am thinking that I’m folding if no 2 rolls off. Turn checks around, River check around. I throw my cards in muck and only then realize the board went 4 flush hearts. I had folded the deuce of hearts, and somehow no one else had a heart. So a open folded a winner in a fairly large pot for a limit game.
Where do I start! A4 for AA seems to be common . Paired with that is betting hard when you misread your own hand and crowing you have the nuts when you are just nuts for calling with the wrong suit same colour on a flush board. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CARDS AGAIN!
@@mrhumble2937 The guy could have had 9-10 also which would have been even more hysterical. Showing the K meant even if he has a 9, you have him beat. Also, what's stupid is that you ask yourself "why is he showing me a K, his other card must be a 9". Right? If you think K-K is good, why show it?
In the first hand of a tournament, I meant to make a 3x raise with three 500 chips, which were light blue and mistakenly grabbed three 5,000 chips which were similar, but light grey. Costly.
I made only 1 blunder in holland casino once, i was playing fairly new.. tho like my first year of poker, i have a pocket pair, i flop the set... there is a 4 to a straight on the turn i think, and the river gives me the 2nd nut flush with all cards out, but all i am focused on is that i have a set ... and not a flush, so i call after he bets 300 dollars.. it's not a lot of money but i wont forget the hand, he turns over a straight, and i muck the flush .. while in my head it's still a set, but after 5 seconds off looking at the board again i ask the dealer if i can still show my hand from the muck, they didnt agree since once its in the muck its a dead hand, but to be fair i showed that i had the 10 of hearts making a flush, the guy who won the pot decided to give me back 200 dollars from the pot . Thats something i wont forget.
I once had trips with no kicker on the turn and folded to a big river bet when 4 to a flush came in. It was online, and when I reviewed the hand, I realized that the river gave me a boat.
You know when the board has 2 pair on board with an under-card, like JJ774, if you have J7, you can't lose the hand. Well, I had A7 suited, and I THOUGHT the board was just that AA772. However, it wasn't. It was A7762. I bet, got raised, I three-bet, got four-bet, I 5-bet (really deep), and the other player paused and said something to the effect of "You're going to keep going?" And I said, "Well, I can't lose, so yeah." Luckily he got scared and just called, but he had AA. Took my brain a minute to figure out what was going on.
When I first started playing poker, I was at a home game with friends and acquaintances, and I wanted to act like I knew what I was doing. About an hour in I folded in a big spot on the river, and then realized I had had a flush. I said "oh shit, I had a flush!" And everyone laughed. Good times, taught me a lesson
By far, it's when I was playing no limit (either omaha or holdem) and I slow played quad 8's when three 8's came out on the board, only to see my opponent not believe me when a Jack came on the turn, and a Queen came on the river, and my opponent had a 9, 10, of hearts and got the straight flush. I almost never slow play anymore.
Last 4 players of a 800 players $12 PKO Tournament. Pay jumps for 3rd +12 entries, for 2nd + 24 entries and for 1st + 50 entries. Bounties are huge too, everyone had more than 10 entries in collectable bounties. So im 2nd with almost 2x third and fourth players stacks in UTG and decided to limp my AKs cause everyone was so tight preflop. Everyone folded except big blind and he checked. I don’t know why but my mind didn’t realize I didn’t raise preflop and played the entire hand as i have raised. Board came 3 5 5 and BB lead with pot size (BB is super agressive chip leader). At this point i should have folded knowing I didn’t raised preflop but i forgot and thought i had so I 3bet 3x and he called. The turn came the ACE so long story short ended going allin against 3 fives losing all the ICM pay jumps and bounties. Big bad blunder. I cashed + 40 entries in payjumps and bounties but still felt like a lost.
I had K9s in the BB vs. a raise. 7KTr. Player was aggressive so I resolved to check/call all the way with my TP/weak kicker. Flop check-bet-call. Turn J. check-bet-call. River 8. check-bet-call. PFR shows the he flopped top-2 with KT and I mucked my TP/weak kicker. A few seconds later, realized I'd just folded a straight.
Similar to one of the other comments. Online in a tournament, hit Quad Kings on the river with a 4 card flush on board against two super aggressive loose players who had been bulling the table. I was acting second and trying to pretend it was a hard decision I tanked, thinking I had time in the bank. I didn't and my hand was folded. I felt sick.
I made my biggest mistake folding a straight flush!!!! Granted this was my first time even seeing a straight flush and before that hand we were talking about flush over flushes. in the hand when my opponent went all in I was sure they got a better hand and I had a one card flush which was the card needed for a SF and I didn't even realize, folded he showed ace high flush, I felt great about my fold, showed my cards and they looked shocked AF thinking we were in it together while I'm just an idiot :| don't be mean please this was maybe my 2nd month of playing and it was my first time in a live cash game with strangers so I was very nervous...
I once shoved with what I thought was a straight online, got called and then realised I only had a pair when the pot went to my opponent. Only cost me a few dollars as it was a micro-stakes game, but still frustrating.
1/3 cash game. I flopped the nut flush draw. Each street I bet with a call. Missed the flush on the river and made a over size bet. The opponent took their time and eventually called. I mucked thinking they at least had a pair. They tabled their hand and showed 7 high (which they had misread their hand)
very simple on in my poker endeavors. Rivered a straight only to realize there was a higher straight possible. Had 4,5,6,7 on the board and had pocket 8's. Did not even consider someone would have 8,9 suited. Oh well. Live poker does that to us sometimes, but not so much now. Thanks for your content.
When Charlie Carrel was starting in the poker study group for Evan Jarvis at Gripsed, he railed me a $50 mtt on pokerstars, we were on the final table bubble 2nd in chips, Charlie got me to 3b the big stack light and the big stack jammed and I miss click called with J4o the big stack had AA. It still hurts to this day as it was over 30k for top 3.
My biggest mistake was once I bet ak on A 23, 8, A, and got check jammed for 3x pot, I ended up calling and with his A5 so confidently I thought I saw 45 and mucked my hand in a quite a high stakes cash game. luckily my hand didn’t touch the muck, and I managed to pull it back. The dealer said my hand was dead but when the floor reviewed the camera (everyone at the table was so annoyed because they thought it was mucked too) we waited for 10 minutes and the pot got rewarded to me due to not touching another card yet. 😅
My worst mistake was misreading J4 as jacks. Sounds hard to do but it happened. I bet like I had a set and flipped my cards over very confidently. This was the first hand I played at the table and I looked very dumb. Cost me a decent amount, too
Pre I had AA, opponent called a 4 bet. Flop was Q27 rainbow, opponent went all in x4 the pot. I snap called. Opponent had QQ. I don't know if calling was a mistake, but SNAPCALLING is a mistake for sure.
2/5 at Crown, $2500 effective, at the river I pushed in a stack of red chips for a call but the wrong stack (black). I followed this with a clear tell I made an error. I got re-raised and had to fold with 80+% of my stack in the middle.
I played a bounty tournament, rivered the nuts and then bet a size that didn't put my opponent all-in (left him like 3 big blinds) and he ended up just calling. And what was worse, I did the exact same thing an hour later in a similar spot when I miscounted my opponent's stack.
My worst was playing in a 5/10/20 6 card PLO game. Some action happened and I ended up flopping the nuclear wrap and after 4 or 5 raises were were all in. They had top set with some blockers to my draw. It came cards of the same suit that didn't complete the straight but missed my straight. I announce that I missed and they showed top set and he said "I block the nut flush on the turn too", as if to say that was less likely. This prompted me to look at my cards and realise I had 2 of that suit and thus had a flush and the winning hand. It was a reasonable pot, about €7k and I was very apologeitc as genuine mistake. They weren't happy but at least accepted it wasn't a slow roll.
I sat down first hand. 2/5. And i got ace , queen off. Ace came on the flop and the guy next to me back raised me. I went all in and he called. The run out was 8,9 10 , J, A... the opponent slammed his card with Ace ten, and i folded the nuts just focused on his 2 pairs and i never tabled it. I folded the queen. So sick. Thats one of many
Here's one that makes me sick to this day. The card house had a special bonus going, you get $1600 for quad 2's. (They change every day what quads it is. That day it was 2's.) Playing 1/2 fairly deep stacked (maybe $600 ish) I have 22 and I raise in mid position. Only the BB calls. This particular player is very aggressive and has been coming after me repeatedly. I know he thinks I'm a complete nit, just because I've been folding a lot due to card deadness. One time in a similar situation he pushed me off of my AQ on a middling flop, then showed the bluff. Anyway, the flop comes up 982 with two clubs, and he checks to me. I'm thinking about how he will be "certain" this has missed my hand, and is probably planning a check-raise, perhaps with 2-pair, perhaps with air, but I can't believe he isn't planning to come after me again. After all, this flop clearly missed my nit-butt completely. So I put in a half-pot bet. And he folded. Aarrgh. At that point, I remembered the bonus they were running and asked to rabbit hunt, which they occasionally will do (and I tip well). The turn would have been the 4th deuce.
The biggest mistake I made in poker was in a tournament. I should have went all-in the hand prior to what was my last hand. I would of had the nuts if I played the prior hand but it was 10-7o so I opted to wait for the next hand and go with whatever it was, because it was going to use up the majority of my chips on the ante then I'd be down to my last two blinds after paying the Big Blind ante for the table . this happened in a tournament that I played in and was about 2 spots from cashing. I would have cashed almost certainly if I had went all-in the hand before. I was still proud that I went that far in a tournament without adding on or rebuying in, it's just too bad I didn't ship it with the 10-7 it was the nuts.
I've snapped off hands like this one where a flush/straight comes in and I didn't notice it. I've misread hands and tabled many losers because of it, I've timed out nut hands online. Worst thing I've ever done I think was I fell asleep at an online final table where there was $2500 up top and we were down to 5 - I was just exhausted...still lucky enough to get one more hop and be eliminated in 4th lol
I had a straight. There was a pair of nines on the board. When it went to showdown, my opponent said I have aces and nines. I thought he said aces full and mucked my winning hand without verifying his hand. That ruined my night.
Once I was playing with my friends and I was on tilt. And my friend's gf raised pre-flop. I should've known she had aces. She NEVER raised pre-flop. So I called with A5o and what do you know, an ace comes on the flop. I lost all my chips and then some:))) the combination of being on tilt, not noticing her aces and calling with A5o was and will always be my worst blunder:)
Folded a straight flush in a $20k tournament with just over $200k in the pot. I have pocket 10’s. Flop comes KQJ hearts, turn 9 of hearts. I thought I had the 10 of Diamonds (overly tired & not checking my hand again). He shoves the river & I show my buddy next to me & say “can you believe this BS, he has the A of hearts” again not looking at my hand. I think then fold. He looks at me & tells me the horrible lay down I just made. Made me sick! Lol. Not sure how a person can miss that, but I sure as hell did. On a good note. I still cashed!
Playing online, I had J4s on the button. The flop came J44. I was going to slow play to give the other players a chance to catch up, so I clicked one of the boxes to check when it comes around to me. Unfortunately I clicked on "check/fold" box instead. Someone before me bet and by the time I realized what I did, my hand was folded.
Persson is a good player from what I've seen. He still sometimes, like in this case, plays with ego and emotion. He was signalling snap call before Hanks even put in the river raise, and it didn't slow Hanks down at all. If Persson had relaxed and just waited a few moments, he may have realized that Hanks could easily be in this spot with A8 or A6 of hearts, any possible small suited combo draw. Persson just let emotions and ego cloud his judgement. Let this be a lesson to all of us, SLOW DOWN, THINK, then act!
I don't even think he realized the flush was out there to be had, that was the problem. It's not that he didn't think he had it, it's that his eyes glazed over either waiting for the straight, or one of the hearts looked like a diamond to him. When he heard he had a flush, he went "what?"" and looked at the board again. I agree with you though, he may not have noticed because his mind was elsewhere, but even if he thought "he could have A8 of hearts", it wouldn't have clicked that those were the nuts.
I mucked top two at showdown to top pair top kicker. The guy jammed on me so I thought I was bluff catching. So when he showed a real hand I thought “oh I lost” was way too tired. Didn’t play poker for several months after that (was a huge pot)
I was 17 hours into a session with 4 hours sleep the last time I slept and was playing 10/25/50 and I was the straddle with AQ clubs. Only BB called so I was going to check. Instead of throwing my chips in, I threw my cards in
Misread my hand and folded a full house on the river when the straight and flush draw came in and there was a bunch of action before it got to me. BTW, Persson cost himself $100k in this week's High Stakes Poker by showing a Q on a Q high board while JRB was debating a call with QT.
One time while playing PLO in Miami a friend of mine got me really high in the parking lot when I was taking a smoke break. First hand sitting back down, stoned out of my gourd, all the money gets in on the turn, we run it twice. After everything is done I enthusiastically yell out “I SCOOP!!” and slapped my hand down. Only to reveal I had completely misread, nay hallucinated, my hand and had pretty much napkins. It was like a 10k pot 😂 I sat there in stunned disbelief for a sec and vowed to not smoke weed while playing again. That being said, my man here is a professional punter, his omg face is not real he just got caught punting, whatever he needs to tell himself to keep it going. Like when he gave PA 1m drawing dead, I wonder if he misread the board then? 😂
I correctly called a river shove with pocket 8's. Opponent opposite end of table says "King". I thought said Kings- with an S and mucked. Everyone looked at me cause they knew I hand a pair and he didn't. I learned to look at the cards and don't go by what someone says before I muck.
On a site long gone I was on my first final table in a 500K guarantee tournament. Called a straight because I missed the board had paired. Lost to a full house.
Got it all in with broadway against a ridiculous player who called with a gunshot to broadway and hit it. A-10 straight for both of us. I said nice hand and got up and left the game. In the parking lot I stopped and went... "Wait. WTF did I just do?" To this day I have no idea what I was thinking. She was screaming for a queen and when it hit I just went into bad beat mode and exited. I hate myself for that mistake.
I was sitting in seat 9 right beside the dealer. I was involved in a 3 way pot I had the flush draw on the flop I was playing 1$ 2$ no limit. The flush came on the river and both players moved all in the pot was close to $1000 without my call I had the King high flush, as I was about to call I looked down and my cards were gone! I didn't protect my hand with a chip or a card holder the dealer mucked my hand. All they had was 2 pair I would have won, but if I protected my hand with just a chip I would have won huge. Lesson learned.
Calling a small river bet with 9 high in my hand..... and WINNING! Thought there was a river to come with my draw. Played it off. Opponent's fuse was lit
One of the first live cash games I played, I was in a big pot for about $600, playing 1/2. Pocket AA on the btn. Got all in w BB. I just remember at showdown, I had 2 pair, AA and 66 off board. He was first to show and announced he had 2 pair. In frustration I mucked my hand as he was showing KK. Immediately realized we were sharing the second pair. Since then, I hold on to my cards until money is being shifted. 😂
I made the same play as Parsons, but villain folded a 7 high flush ( I didn't show my cards before and didn't see the flush come in lol ) and when he showed us what he folded, I said that I had a straight revealing my cards showing that I had misread my cards and did in fact Not 🚫 have a straight but had played it agg enough to get a fold
Had a broadway on a flush draw board and called a all in for 300$ on 1/2 NLH after turn in a three way multipot with a made flush hand by opponent . Called the raise knowing more possibility of Flush hitting someone. Someone had a 5 high flush where the pot was 1000$. silly amateur mistake. Another mistake at the same table , where i pun individual on a A pair / flush draw. I had Two pair on the board and I was running ahead until turn. At the end when the flush completes, i ran into this flush chaser with all in and got snap called with 8 high flush. Been such an idiot at the table where the flush ranking crushed my pre-flop premium hands or until turn . Still learning my lessons. Always remembering to learn the nut hand advantage vs range advantage . Still wondering how to tackle these flush chasers having any two cards with suited..
I rivered the nut flush in the hand and said “call” when my opponent hadn’t even acted yet. Got too excited😂 needless to say he check folded after that lol
I, correctly, thought villain had trips. On the river, I took the lead and bit. Villain raised, and I went all in, catching him off guard. He looked at the board and asked, “did you catch a straight?” I instantly answered, “no.” He tanked for a minute before calling. I guess he took my instant answer as the truth. He turned over his trips and I showed my flush.
Had a game where I had KQo, runout was 6-8-7-7-6 (no flushes) I was bluffing, shoved river (pot ~1800) villain called with 52o. Villain said "straight" then the DEALER said "straight". I ended up mucking saying straight is good. When reality I had 2 pair K high and he had 2 pair 5 high playing the board.
My worst blunder was getting my buddy to fold a bad beat years ago at the Borgata. Three of us flop a set; 888 (me), JJJ (tight old person) and 444 (buddy). I thought my buddy was all-in pre-flop and I was playing for a side pot post flop. Turn is a J, old person puts me all in. I say, "I think you have quads but I have a set, so I have to call". My friend still has chips that I couldn't see from #1 position, hears me, and folds because he knows and his set is no good. River is a 4, which would have given home the quads over quads BB. I think it was a fixed BB of 16K back then. Crappy part is I never table talk like that. Not sure if he would have folded if it wasn't for me 👉😑💨
My biggest blunder was quitting playing poker a decade ago, had i have known the games would be this good now. I would have at least kept my game sharp by playing monthly . This is pre 2006 level horrible
I had pocket queens preflop in the big blind. Flop comes down 88x. I raise to 30 cutoff reraised to 130 and I called getting wrong pot odds ended up getting stacked by a person at the bottom of their range and I knew he could very easily and most likely have an 8
went all in during a tournament w/ a Ace high flush hole cards 7, 4 of clubs with three aces on the board...hit the ace of clubs for the flush on the river...thought I was good and did not take into account the player could of had pocket pair loss to a boat called 2bet preflop, checked the sneaky check on the flop, lead out with a 5 bet on the turn to try to rep a set of aces, player calls, then jams on river, I call...dominated...right before I called (not a snap...tanked for 3 mins or so)...I thought about a possible FH...but paid him off anyway...couldn't resist even if I knew I was doomed lol
I went all in with 7 2 offsuit on the turn in a 3 hand but I thought it was heads up so when the first person folded I showed the bluff not realizing another guy was still in the hand and I lost everything.
Ah, a very easy thing to remember... Flopped 4 of a kind, got distracted by something for just a split second, and mucked it. I am pretty decent at not making big errors if I got money in the pot, too much math being done in my head to get distracted. It's kinda why I can't and won't play tired, takes a lot of focus to run the numbers in my head quickly.
Weird deck where hearts and diamonds looked very similar went all in with what turned out to be A high after it was pointed out that backdoor hearts did not in fact get there because it was a pure rainbow board on the turn. Also I was obviously snapped off since my line my absolutely no sense.
All in and thought I had a straight in the river. Slammed my cards on the table and called straight. We’ll..I didn’t have the straight!!! Everyone on the table including the dealer looked confused..😅😅😂😂
When I was still new to poker , I would play at my local casino a few times a week , 2/3 game. I was in the SB and it folded to me , I looked at the guy in the BB and said, “ chop chop ?” . He had suns glasses on and with a straight face said I never chop . For some reason It triggered me . Long story short I tried to triple barrel this guy off top top , and in the process lost 90 BBs 😅
Playing a home game, and got into a BB vs Button situation, I was in BB and extremely tight guy opened 4x on the button, I peeked at my cards and saw the two tips of aces, and 3 bet my hand, villain 4 bets large, and I Insta shoved for 500BB effective. Button tanks and folds KK face up, I confidently flipped up my AA to show that he made an amazing fold, only to see I made this play with 44 😂
Worst blunder for me is calling all in aPrefop With AA if there is more then 2 ppl calling. You never win and 2 pair, or QQ is more likely to knock out aa
My worst blunder. I'm playing 75/150 stud @ the Taj in the 90s. I was listening to music way too loud. There were 3 of us in the river. I made Broadway in the river. But my board looked like an Ace high flush. The guy with the 9 high straight leads out, I raise, the 3rd guy was steamed and stood up. He was about to fold his small flush but I wasn't listening because my music was way too loud. So I tabled my hand before he actually folded. Obviously, he called and won the pot. Never listened to music while playing again!
I had JJ in a tournament in the cut-off I raised to 2.7BB to open SB and BB called. Flop was Q J 5. It was checked to me and I bet 20% pot and was called in both spots 10 on the turn and SB checks BB bet 33% pot I call and SB calls , river is a K. SB open shoves 2 x pot. BB folds and I know I am beat but I thought about it for 4 minutes and called off. SB had played A9 and I seen was very nitty later in tournament. I really hated the way I played every part of the hand and felt so stupid calling off when I can not be good ever.

I was on line with quad aces contemplating how much to go over the top of villains river bet and also to show weakness when the clock had run out and my hand was folded. 😆
ahahaha, yeah, we all have been there)) Sometimes you fold AA preflop cuz u needed to go to bathroom or smt
@@Barsikspit right, they should allow like bathroom bots that you can set to raise with Aces Kings or whatever range you want but only for 2 min or smt
That's a good one.
@@Barsikspit using a bottle can be +ev 😂
Lol thanks for sharing this did give me a giggle 😆
Sad, Eric's friends and family need to do an intervention before it's all gone. He actually believes in his heart that he is a good poker player.
He totally sucks
And I love to see him loser. Shitty clothes.
Shitty attitude.
I don’t know how he made all his money. Complete douche
I think his net worth is so high this loss is not significant to him. He own a bunch of casinos, and a Maverick Gaming.
@@charlesdavid45 He has a degenerative addiction. He is prey. When the prey is larger than the predator it is simply consumed one bite at a time until there is nothing left. Large prey typically just feeds a larger number of predators.
@@charlesdavid45 a bunch of gas stations and dirty cardrooms, lol. He aint no mogul
I had he nuts and was all in waiting for my opponent to call or fold. He said "ok, you got it". I smiled and mucked my cards. He instantly tabled his hand and took the pot. He never said "Fold" so his hand was still live. That hand has stuck with me for almost 2 decades.
rookie mistaKe and and angle from the villain
Here was mine. Often, UTG, I will peek at my first card once dealt, then the 2nd so that I'm ready to act quicker. This one time, I peeked down at a 7, then the 2nd card was also a 7. I raised and was called in 2 spots. Flop was A-6-7. I bet 1/3 pot, the button called other player folded, turn was another 6, I bet half and was check raised all in (started the hand at about $250, 1/3 game) I pretty much snap called. as the dealer was putting out the river, the V shows AK (with a flush draw) and I proudly flip over my 7-4 off suit.... WHAT:? I think what happened was the dealer tossed my 2nd card and it wend Under my first and I just looked at the same 7.. Oooops..
had done this mistake A and thought had i had black aces,luckily every one folded to my raise. Thaats why i always train myself to check both cards .
Oof
That hurts 😂
Pocket 7 suited! 😂
That’s why I check my cards before every single action, even though I know my cards.
At least you were possibly drawing live to that case 7
My biggest mistake was thinking Eric Persson knows what he’s doing, quickly rectified after about 2 minutes of watching him play.
Hes entertaining for sure, but he is an absolutely horrific player. Just very rich so I dont think it matters to him.
@jamieboi11 It matters more than he let's on but he's not a good player and terribly cocky. I'd love to see him play at a table with Garrett, Dwan, Ivey, Mick Mase, Hanks, Keating, Berke, and Ben. That would be some straight fireworks and wouldn't end well for Eric
@@jamieboi11 I mean loosing millions will matter to most people,unless they have billions rly.
@rward2109 he did do that and im pretty positive he was ahead. Dudes speechplay is incredible
Not me but a buddy in a little $5 home game gets to showdown at the river and goes "I have a straight", and I go "no, you have a flush" *two seconds pass* .... "wait. Bob you have a straight flush" 🤣
Worst blunder I’ve made was looking at my cards and thinking I had AA when I had A4
classic
I swore I had nut flush with As, i woulda bet a small fortune, as a matter of fact I did.!
about 10 years ago in my first couple years of live poker, I played a hand with Ac,Tc in late position. I dont remember the exact action, but I had the nut flush on the river and my opponent shoved into me. I snap called and announced "nuts" and tossed my cards to the middle of the table. They were both red, and I got beat by a pair of 5s.
this made me laugh lmao
I made plenty of big mistakes, but typically at online cash games for low stakes. Biggest mistake I made that stands out in a live game was thinking I had a set of 3s and I actually had 22 in the hole.
Yeah I did something similar but it makes well less sense. I thought I had 10,7 of spades. Somehow I saw a 4 as a 10? so when the board comes out 4 to the straight and I think i have the straight to the ten, i start blasting away. Only to get called by someone who did have a 10, and realizing I somehow have a 4... felt like a hallucination.
Once I played on low sleep in a tourney, and I thought I had a flush-turned out I had the wrong suited cards, and needed the river to make high pair to save my skin.
I had J8 on a TQKxx board , and when the opponent said ,,all in" i instantly called thinking i had J9 for a straight and I lost my whole stack.Still haunts me to this day
Weird, I had the exact same hand w the same board but I shoved the river and checked my hand while my opp was tanking and realized I was bluffing. He folded but I was sweating after the re-check
I did the opposite I went all in with a four card straight and the sat there mystified when the dealer pushed the chips to the other guy. At least in my situation people just thought it was a bluff.
I once remembered my hand as JQ when it was actually JK and thought I rivered a straight when I had only one pair, I made a very large raise and my opponent folded and said I know you have the straight, I said good fold and turned over my cards only to find out that I bluffed both myself and my opponent. All’s well that ends well.
My worst blunder is I was on the button in Omaha-High. My hand had ace of hearts, 10 of hearts, and pocket 8s. The flop was all hearts and since I had the nuts I never looked at my hand. The turn and river were bricks and I had bet it the entire way. I got called by someone who had the king high flush... one tiny problem is that when I flipped my hand over to show the nuts... I somehow picked an addition card and had five cards in my hand. I don't know if the dealer dealt me an extra and I didn't notice or if someone accidently folded it into my hand... but the floor was called and my hand was declared dead because you can't play with five cards.
Had I periodically looked at my cards during the hand then I would have noticed and the floor could have been called before I put all that money... but since I didn't I lost the pot despite having the nuts.
Bizarre ruling...sounds like it should have been declared a misdeal. But yeah, have seen plenty of silly and unfair rulings so not too surprised.
The worst I have ever done was years ago in a cash game. I flopped a set against an obvious heart flush draw. The flopped missed the flush but the river completed it. I asked if he had the flush and he tables it. I mucked my cards. I had shown my buddy next to me who wasn't in the hand my hand pre-flop. After I folded he looked at me and said you had a boat. I looked at the board again. The river that had given him the heart flush had paired the board. I was so focused on dodging the heart I was not paying close enough attention. Cost me a thousand dollar pot.
Damm that's tough
@@trentharris1 Yeah I learned my lesson and always double check my hand and the board before I fold.
Same story for me, except the Ace of hearts that completed the flush also gave me quad aces.
Yep, it's always rough when that next cup of coffee costs $1002. I mucked a big hand of Pai Gow Poker once, only to see I would have pushed.
My first time playing poker at a casino, I didn't know proper etiquette. I turned quad jacks and attempted a string bet before being told my the dealer that wasn't allowed and I called his turn bet. Embarrassed, I made a small bet on the river, was called, and my opponent laughed and said "yeah I see why you did that."
At key point in late stages of a tournament with AA in the big blind, after a min raise to 15K and three callers including the Button and SB, I pulled out one 100K chip (which had just recently been added to the table) and tossed it over line, then said "raise" -- but after the chip had hit the felt. The dealer (properly) ruled that my one-chip bet was a call. Of course, one of the other players flopped two pair and cracked my aces, leading to my spiral down to being busted. Now, I always bet with TWO chips minimum whenever I'm raising. Lesson learned.
Always declare before firing chips!
Worst blunder I've ever made playing poker...was playing poker lol. Enjoy watching you break down hands great job cheers Rob
I was so hyper focused when I missed my River flush that I folded, and didn’t realize that the river cod gave me a straight, which would’ve been the winning hand. A very very fun day for me to be sure!
Similar to what happened here.
I think this was my very first live tournament. I had pocket kings in the small blind, still too stupid and scared and didn't raise them. I had like 3 other players including the BB come along. The flop comes down King King 4. The action was on me, I checked, the BB bet out somewhere about half pot. The other players folded. Came around to me. Today I'd just call the BB bet hoping he'd improve on the turn and river and keep paying me off, but early me just went all in. The BB folded so fast I think I heard the sonic boom. As an aside - any time I can see Persson getting stacked is a good day.
I was looking at my hole cards one at a time while they were being dealt and looked at the same card twice on accident, thinking I had a pocket pair(not realizing they were same suit lol). What made it worse, was I thought I hit a middle set and got all in on flop with what turned out to be middle pair
You literally told the same story as the guy above you just did
My worst mistake at the poker table happened when I was dealing at the WSOP. I pushed into a cash table, started dealing, then somehow dropped the deck exposing every card face up. Pretty much every player hated on me for it and my punishment was them berating me for the next half hour lol
Ouch that's rough, my uncle had that happen when dealing blackjack at the Luxor, got berated by the Pit boss. Evidently it was so bad one of the players (a whale) intervened on his behalf. Straight up told the pit boss if he didn't stop acting like a straight up A$$hole he and his friends would take their money elsewhere (0.o)
I remember being delt pocket Aces in middle position when UTG realized that the button hadn't been moved over. Some people didn't care while others were confused. UTG looked at his what must have been his lousy hand and mucked his card followed by a cascade of folds and the dealer called the hand dead. If looks could kill, the dealer would be burnt alive. 😆
@@Williy_Nilly OK so this happened to me just last week, there was misdeals twice within about an hour...first hand Aces...second hand Kings...I was fuming...but what can ya do?
@@shawnadams1460 That would make me pull my hair out. 😬
At least you were not in a tournament dealing at the WSOP and when the players went on break and you were told to color up the chips.....you raked the chips from every person at the table into a pile.....like a dealer did this last year.....lol. So, it can always be worse!
Peaked at my hand preflop and saw aces, raised in early position, got 3-bet, shoved, and got called. Opponent said he had aces. I said me too and flipped A4 😂
Always look close, don't be afraid to double check A4. They look very similar.
Probably (almost certainly) not my biggest mistake, but just a couple days ago I misread the board on what would have been a chopped pot (thinking Villain’s kicker played when it didn’t) for about 250 (I mostly play 1/2) and mucked my cards face down instead of turning them up.
My worst blunder, pocket aces. That little bit of internal excitement made the curry I was having some issues digesting come out. Insta projectile vomit, hit the table and cards, a little on one player's arm. Those aces didn't pay off, had to leave. Didn't go back to a game there.
My mistake - I was in the 8 seat in a loud casino. I get into a battle vs the 1 seat. I flop a set. We get it all in on the flop. After the river I hear ", straight". So I muck. He shows a 4 card straight. Dealers confirms he said 4 card straight. DOH. Luckily he agreed to chop the pot w me. We play often together and he wasn't trying to angle. Lesson learned. I don't release my hand until they muck or show. If I think everyone has folded I hold my cards until the dealer awards me the pot. Pay attention! This wasn't intentional but some players will try to take Any advantage
Fwiw I believe hanks has 100k more than the graphics show, making a shove a little awkward, especially considering Eric can't be better than a 9 high straight. I think my worst mistake was folding a straight to a set in an all in 9k pot in a 5/5 plo game a few years ago. The other player made a set of aces on the river and for some reason I thought that bricked my million out hand. Realized it about 5 mins later and was too tilted to keep playing.
Obviously he's a fellow that can afford to be playing at these stakes and he will have learned from this. Every poker player who has ever flipped a chip can relate from a much lower denomination stand point. Even with perfect vision at the outside seats...at times we need to stand up or lean in to digest the board and resist the thought of what kind of tell the gesture expresses. Pilots go through checklists. No reason why poker players shouldn't execute one on big moments. Ego can cripple.
The biggest mistake I think I've made was in a live tournament. I had QJ suited in middle position and announced raise without noticing that an older tighter player had already raised from utg. I was forced to min raise, and when the flop came Q 2 2 and he c bet pretty chunky, I just folded not wanting to get too involved with the pot after messing up like that. He showed pocket 8s. still mad about that one.
oh sam, that one hurts brother!
I misread my had and believed I had Jacks when I had J/4. Not sure how that happened but it did. I hit a "set" and when I flipped my hand over triumphantly at the end and only had a pair of jacks with a 4 kicker I felt as stupid as I could have. The good news is that no one had any respect for me the rest of the game and I walked out with a out $200 in profit.
So you had the Robbi and let it make you out to be “not to be taken seriously” by others. As you said though, this let you walk out with a profit (and I’m guessing they didn’t believe you with the goods).
Not sure Jonathan little realizes how horrible Eric Person is. Person's literally down millions and millions and never wins.
Just a guy with lots of money bleeding it off little by little. I mean he does something there (showing the card) that a player who's played poker for a week does. He's REALLY this bad and REALLY that dumb. I mean if you've ever heard him talk you wonder why he isn't walking around eating a bushel of bananas.
These hand breakdowns and GTO theories just don't apply for guys like Person when you have him in a game.
Hanks played the hand perfectly because he's beaten that guy for tons of cash in the past and can read him like a book after playing tons of hours against him.
IMO The reason that Hanks raised on the turn was to make it less likely range-wise to have Persson put him on a flush on the river. Why do you think Persson so audaciously showed a king? Because he put Hanks on a King himself (with a higher kicker) or even trips, which he beats with a straight. So re-raising was a good play in this scenario
*Literally* *the* *last* *poker* *hand* *I* *played* *would* *be* *the* *hand*
After 25 years of playing poker this past week I was in a tournament and we were a few spots from the final table and it was blind vs blind I had JJ in the SB and BB raised I check-raised he calls flop comes JJQ (2clubs) I tank lead w a small 1/3 bet he calls. The turn is Ac I lead with another smallish bet he raises rather large as I’m thinking of flatting or jamming there. I forgot my computer disconnected way earlier and I had no time bank so as I’m moving the slider to shove I timed out and JJ was mucked it was a $50k guaranteed $55 buy in tourney and I bubbled the FT🤦♂️
I just tell myself surely he had Kc-10c to make myself feel better
I was playing limit holdem and held 2-2 in the SB. There was a raise, a bunch of callers, I called, BB 3 bet, and 8 players go to the flop. This was 20 years ago, which is why this situation might seem very odd. I missed the flop and it checked around. I am thinking that I’m folding if no 2 rolls off. Turn checks around, River check around. I throw my cards in muck and only then realize the board went 4 flush hearts. I had folded the deuce of hearts, and somehow no one else had a heart. So a open folded a winner in a fairly large pot for a limit game.
Where do I start! A4 for AA seems to be common . Paired with that is betting hard when you misread your own hand and crowing you have the nuts when you are just nuts for calling with the wrong suit same colour on a flush board. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CARDS AGAIN!
So by showing the king Persson tells Hanks I cannot have a flush so Hanks now knows 100% he's winning. Am I right? Clever to show the K...not!
He wanted him to have 2 pair or set. Actually like it just horrible there.
@@mrhumble2937 The guy could have had 9-10 also which would have been even more hysterical. Showing the K meant even if he has a 9, you have him beat. Also, what's stupid is that you ask yourself "why is he showing me a K, his other card must be a 9". Right? If you think K-K is good, why show it?
In the first hand of a tournament, I meant to make a 3x raise with three 500 chips, which were light blue and mistakenly grabbed three 5,000 chips which were similar, but light grey. Costly.
I made only 1 blunder in holland casino once, i was playing fairly new.. tho like my first year of poker, i have a pocket pair, i flop the set... there is a 4 to a straight on the turn i think, and the river gives me the 2nd nut flush with all cards out, but all i am focused on is that i have a set ... and not a flush, so i call after he bets 300 dollars.. it's not a lot of money but i wont forget the hand, he turns over a straight, and i muck the flush .. while in my head it's still a set, but after 5 seconds off looking at the board again i ask the dealer if i can still show my hand from the muck, they didnt agree since once its in the muck its a dead hand, but to be fair i showed that i had the 10 of hearts making a flush, the guy who won the pot decided to give me back 200 dollars from the pot . Thats something i wont forget.
Eric Persson: Not so much the hero we want. More the hero we need! 😂😂😂
I once had trips with no kicker on the turn and folded to a big river bet when 4 to a flush came in. It was online, and when I reviewed the hand, I realized that the river gave me a boat.
You know when the board has 2 pair on board with an under-card, like JJ774, if you have J7, you can't lose the hand. Well, I had A7 suited, and I THOUGHT the board was just that AA772. However, it wasn't. It was A7762. I bet, got raised, I three-bet, got four-bet, I 5-bet (really deep), and the other player paused and said something to the effect of "You're going to keep going?" And I said, "Well, I can't lose, so yeah." Luckily he got scared and just called, but he had AA. Took my brain a minute to figure out what was going on.
When I first started playing poker, I was at a home game with friends and acquaintances, and I wanted to act like I knew what I was doing. About an hour in I folded in a big spot on the river, and then realized I had had a flush. I said "oh shit, I had a flush!" And everyone laughed. Good times, taught me a lesson
By far, it's when I was playing no limit (either omaha or holdem) and I slow played quad 8's when three 8's came out on the board, only to see my opponent not believe me when a Jack came on the turn, and a Queen came on the river, and my opponent had a 9, 10, of hearts and got the straight flush. I almost never slow play anymore.
Last 4 players of a 800 players $12 PKO Tournament. Pay jumps for 3rd +12 entries, for 2nd + 24 entries and for 1st + 50 entries. Bounties are huge too, everyone had more than 10 entries in collectable bounties. So im 2nd with almost 2x third and fourth players stacks in UTG and decided to limp my AKs cause everyone was so tight preflop. Everyone folded except big blind and he checked. I don’t know why but my mind didn’t realize I didn’t raise preflop and played the entire hand as i have raised. Board came 3 5 5 and BB lead with pot size (BB is super agressive chip leader). At this point i should have folded knowing I didn’t raised preflop but i forgot and thought i had so I 3bet 3x and he called. The turn came the ACE so long story short ended going allin against 3 fives losing all the ICM pay jumps and bounties. Big bad blunder. I cashed + 40 entries in payjumps and bounties but still felt like a lost.
My worst mistake at a poker table was taking a seat.
I had K9s in the BB vs. a raise. 7KTr. Player was aggressive so I resolved to check/call all the way with my TP/weak kicker. Flop check-bet-call. Turn J. check-bet-call. River 8. check-bet-call. PFR shows the he flopped top-2 with KT and I mucked my TP/weak kicker. A few seconds later, realized I'd just folded a straight.
Similar to one of the other comments. Online in a tournament, hit Quad Kings on the river with a 4 card flush on board against two super aggressive loose players who had been bulling the table.
I was acting second and trying to pretend it was a hard decision I tanked, thinking I had time in the bank. I didn't and my hand was folded. I felt sick.
I made my biggest mistake folding a straight flush!!!! Granted this was my first time even seeing a straight flush and before that hand we were talking about flush over flushes. in the hand when my opponent went all in I was sure they got a better hand and I had a one card flush which was the card needed for a SF and I didn't even realize, folded he showed ace high flush, I felt great about my fold, showed my cards and they looked shocked AF thinking we were in it together while I'm just an idiot :|
don't be mean please this was maybe my 2nd month of playing and it was my first time in a live cash game with strangers so I was very nervous...
I think the punchline to an “Irish joke” was a guy folded a straight flush when he’d put his wife in the pot.
I once shoved with what I thought was a straight online, got called and then realised I only had a pair when the pot went to my opponent. Only cost me a few dollars as it was a micro-stakes game, but still frustrating.
1/3 cash game. I flopped the nut flush draw. Each street I bet with a call. Missed the flush on the river and made a over size bet. The opponent took their time and eventually called. I mucked thinking they at least had a pair. They tabled their hand and showed 7 high (which they had misread their hand)
i limped in with AA and the BB player just checked and hit a set of 3s on the flop with 7 3 in hand. im never limping in with a monster hand again
very simple on in my poker endeavors. Rivered a straight only to realize there was a higher straight possible. Had 4,5,6,7 on the board and had pocket 8's. Did not even consider someone would have 8,9 suited. Oh well. Live poker does that to us sometimes, but not so much now.
Thanks for your content.
When Charlie Carrel was starting in the poker study group for Evan Jarvis at Gripsed, he railed me a $50 mtt on pokerstars, we were on the final table bubble 2nd in chips, Charlie got me to 3b the big stack light and the big stack jammed and I miss click called with J4o the big stack had AA. It still hurts to this day as it was over 30k for top 3.
So your biggest mistake was cheating then?
My biggest mistake was once I bet ak on A 23, 8, A, and got check jammed for 3x pot, I ended up calling and with his A5 so confidently I thought I saw 45 and mucked my hand in a quite a high stakes cash game. luckily my hand didn’t touch the muck, and I managed to pull it back. The dealer said my hand was dead but when the floor reviewed the camera (everyone at the table was so annoyed because they thought it was mucked too) we waited for 10 minutes and the pot got rewarded to me due to not touching another card yet. 😅
My worst mistake was misreading J4 as jacks. Sounds hard to do but it happened. I bet like I had a set and flipped my cards over very confidently. This was the first hand I played at the table and I looked very dumb. Cost me a decent amount, too
Pre I had AA, opponent called a 4 bet. Flop was Q27 rainbow, opponent went all in x4 the pot. I snap called. Opponent had QQ. I don't know if calling was a mistake, but SNAPCALLING is a mistake for sure.
Naw that's just a cooler mate. Tough beat.
2/5 at Crown, $2500 effective, at the river I pushed in a stack of red chips for a call but the wrong stack (black). I followed this with a clear tell I made an error. I got re-raised and had to fold with 80+% of my stack in the middle.
At that point you might as well call just in the event that your opponent is trying to bluff you out of it.
I played a bounty tournament, rivered the nuts and then bet a size that didn't put my opponent all-in (left him like 3 big blinds) and he ended up just calling. And what was worse, I did the exact same thing an hour later in a similar spot when I miscounted my opponent's stack.
My worst was playing in a 5/10/20 6 card PLO game. Some action happened and I ended up flopping the nuclear wrap and after 4 or 5 raises were were all in. They had top set with some blockers to my draw. It came cards of the same suit that didn't complete the straight but missed my straight. I announce that I missed and they showed top set and he said "I block the nut flush on the turn too", as if to say that was less likely. This prompted me to look at my cards and realise I had 2 of that suit and thus had a flush and the winning hand. It was a reasonable pot, about €7k and I was very apologeitc as genuine mistake. They weren't happy but at least accepted it wasn't a slow roll.
LOL- can't count how many times that's happened to me in PLO!
I sat down first hand. 2/5. And i got ace , queen off. Ace came on the flop and the guy next to me back raised me. I went all in and he called. The run out was 8,9 10 , J, A... the opponent slammed his card with Ace ten, and i folded the nuts just focused on his 2 pairs and i never tabled it. I folded the queen. So sick. Thats one of many
Here's one that makes me sick to this day. The card house had a special bonus going, you get $1600 for quad 2's. (They change every day what quads it is. That day it was 2's.)
Playing 1/2 fairly deep stacked (maybe $600 ish) I have 22 and I raise in mid position. Only the BB calls. This particular player is very aggressive and has been coming after me repeatedly. I know he thinks I'm a complete nit, just because I've been folding a lot due to card deadness. One time in a similar situation he pushed me off of my AQ on a middling flop, then showed the bluff.
Anyway, the flop comes up 982 with two clubs, and he checks to me. I'm thinking about how he will be "certain" this has missed my hand, and is probably planning a check-raise, perhaps with 2-pair, perhaps with air, but I can't believe he isn't planning to come after me again. After all, this flop clearly missed my nit-butt completely. So I put in a half-pot bet.
And he folded. Aarrgh. At that point, I remembered the bonus they were running and asked to rabbit hunt, which they occasionally will do (and I tip well). The turn would have been the 4th deuce.
The biggest mistake I made in poker was in a tournament. I should have went all-in the hand prior to what was my last hand. I would of had the nuts if I played the prior hand but it was 10-7o so I opted to wait for the next hand and go with whatever it was, because it was going to use up the majority of my chips on the ante then I'd be down to my last two blinds after paying the Big Blind ante for the table . this happened in a tournament that I played in and was about 2 spots from cashing. I would have cashed almost certainly if I had went all-in the hand before. I was still proud that I went that far in a tournament without adding on or rebuying in, it's just too bad I didn't ship it with the 10-7 it was the nuts.
I've snapped off hands like this one where a flush/straight comes in and I didn't notice it. I've misread hands and tabled many losers because of it, I've timed out nut hands online. Worst thing I've ever done I think was I fell asleep at an online final table where there was $2500 up top and we were down to 5 - I was just exhausted...still lucky enough to get one more hop and be eliminated in 4th lol
Persson is an idiot, trying to fish Hanks into a call, and instead he got screwed with the beat hand. Haha, love it!!!!
I had a straight. There was a pair of nines on the board. When it went to showdown, my opponent said I have aces and nines. I thought he said aces full and mucked my winning hand without verifying his hand. That ruined my night.
Once I was playing with my friends and I was on tilt. And my friend's gf raised pre-flop. I should've known she had aces. She NEVER raised pre-flop. So I called with A5o and what do you know, an ace comes on the flop. I lost all my chips and then some:))) the combination of being on tilt, not noticing her aces and calling with A5o was and will always be my worst blunder:)
Folded a straight flush in a $20k tournament with just over $200k in the pot. I have pocket 10’s. Flop comes KQJ hearts, turn 9 of hearts. I thought I had the 10 of Diamonds (overly tired & not checking my hand again). He shoves the river & I show my buddy next to me & say “can you believe this BS, he has the A of hearts” again not looking at my hand. I think then fold. He looks at me & tells me the horrible lay down I just made. Made me sick! Lol. Not sure how a person can miss that, but I sure as hell did.
On a good note. I still cashed!
Playing online, I had J4s on the button. The flop came J44. I was going to slow play to give the other players a chance to catch up, so I clicked one of the boxes to check when it comes around to me. Unfortunately I clicked on "check/fold" box instead. Someone before me bet and by the time I realized what I did, my hand was folded.
That hurts
Persson is a good player from what I've seen. He still sometimes, like in this case, plays with ego and emotion. He was signalling snap call before Hanks even put in the river raise, and it didn't slow Hanks down at all. If Persson had relaxed and just waited a few moments, he may have realized that Hanks could easily be in this spot with A8 or A6 of hearts, any possible small suited combo draw. Persson just let emotions and ego cloud his judgement. Let this be a lesson to all of us, SLOW DOWN, THINK, then act!
I don't even think he realized the flush was out there to be had, that was the problem. It's not that he didn't think he had it, it's that his eyes glazed over either waiting for the straight, or one of the hearts looked like a diamond to him.
When he heard he had a flush, he went "what?"" and looked at the board again. I agree with you though, he may not have noticed because his mind was elsewhere, but even if he thought "he could have A8 of hearts", it wouldn't have clicked that those were the nuts.
I mucked top two at showdown to top pair top kicker. The guy jammed on me so I thought I was bluff catching. So when he showed a real hand I thought “oh I lost” was way too tired. Didn’t play poker for several months after that (was a huge pot)
I was 17 hours into a session with 4 hours sleep the last time I slept and was playing 10/25/50 and I was the straddle with AQ clubs. Only BB called so I was going to check. Instead of throwing my chips in, I threw my cards in
Misread my hand and folded a full house on the river when the straight and flush draw came in and there was a bunch of action before it got to me.
BTW, Persson cost himself $100k in this week's High Stakes Poker by showing a Q on a Q high board while JRB was debating a call with QT.
One time while playing PLO in Miami a friend of mine got me really high in the parking lot when I was taking a smoke break. First hand sitting back down, stoned out of my gourd, all the money gets in on the turn, we run it twice. After everything is done I enthusiastically yell out “I SCOOP!!” and slapped my hand down. Only to reveal I had completely misread, nay hallucinated, my hand and had pretty much napkins. It was like a 10k pot 😂 I sat there in stunned disbelief for a sec and vowed to not smoke weed while playing again.
That being said, my man here is a professional punter, his omg face is not real he just got caught punting, whatever he needs to tell himself to keep it going. Like when he gave PA 1m drawing dead, I wonder if he misread the board then? 😂
I correctly called a river shove with pocket 8's. Opponent opposite end of table says "King". I thought said Kings- with an S and mucked. Everyone looked at me cause they knew I hand a pair and he didn't. I learned to look at the cards and don't go by what someone says before I muck.
EP forgot about the flush! Oops. It's easy to do when you are concentrating on the straight
On a site long gone I was on my first final table in a 500K guarantee tournament. Called a straight because I missed the board had paired. Lost to a full house.
Got it all in with broadway against a ridiculous player who called with a gunshot to broadway and hit it. A-10 straight for both of us. I said nice hand and got up and left the game. In the parking lot I stopped and went... "Wait. WTF did I just do?" To this day I have no idea what I was thinking. She was screaming for a queen and when it hit I just went into bad beat mode and exited. I hate myself for that mistake.
I was sitting in seat 9 right beside the dealer. I was involved in a 3 way pot I had the flush draw on the flop I was playing 1$ 2$ no limit. The flush came on the river and both players moved all in the pot was close to $1000 without my call I had the King high flush, as I was about to call I looked down and my cards were gone! I didn't protect my hand with a chip or a card holder the dealer mucked my hand. All they had was 2 pair I would have won, but if I protected my hand with just a chip I would have won huge. Lesson learned.
Calling a small river bet with 9 high in my hand..... and WINNING! Thought there was a river to come with my draw. Played it off. Opponent's fuse was lit
It has to be when you look at your hand once, then think you make a hand only to have misread or forget what you actually had.
One of the first live cash games I played, I was in a big pot for about $600, playing 1/2. Pocket AA on the btn. Got all in w BB. I just remember at showdown, I had 2 pair, AA and 66 off board. He was first to show and announced he had 2 pair. In frustration I mucked my hand as he was showing KK. Immediately realized we were sharing the second pair. Since then, I hold on to my cards until money is being shifted. 😂
I made the same play as Parsons, but villain folded a 7 high flush ( I didn't show my cards before and didn't see the flush come in lol ) and when he showed us what he folded, I said that I had a straight revealing my cards showing that I had misread my cards and did in fact Not 🚫 have a straight but had played it agg enough to get a fold
Who the fuck is Parsons?
@@david_cop_a_feel7538 LOL I was using talk-to-text my bad, I went back and added some grammar to it but not a spell check
Had a broadway on a flush draw board and called a all in for 300$ on 1/2 NLH after turn in a three way multipot with a made flush hand by opponent . Called the raise knowing more possibility of Flush hitting someone. Someone had a 5 high flush where the pot was 1000$. silly amateur mistake. Another mistake at the same table , where i pun individual on a A pair / flush draw. I had Two pair on the board and I was running ahead until turn. At the end when the flush completes, i ran into this flush chaser with all in and got snap called with 8 high flush. Been such an idiot at the table where the flush ranking crushed my pre-flop premium hands or until turn . Still learning my lessons. Always remembering to learn the nut hand advantage vs range advantage . Still wondering how to tackle these flush chasers having any two cards with suited..
Once I thought I had a flush, announced flush at the end of the hand only turn over my cards, to see I had an AJ off and not suited.
I rivered the nut flush in the hand and said “call” when my opponent hadn’t even acted yet. Got too excited😂 needless to say he check folded after that lol
I, correctly, thought villain had trips. On the river, I took the lead and bit. Villain raised, and I went all in, catching him off guard. He looked at the board and asked, “did you catch a straight?” I instantly answered, “no.” He tanked for a minute before calling. I guess he took my instant answer as the truth. He turned over his trips and I showed my flush.
Had a game where I had KQo, runout was 6-8-7-7-6 (no flushes) I was bluffing, shoved river (pot ~1800) villain called with 52o. Villain said "straight" then the DEALER said "straight". I ended up mucking saying straight is good. When reality I had 2 pair K high and he had 2 pair 5 high playing the board.
My worst blunder was getting my buddy to fold a bad beat years ago at the Borgata.
Three of us flop a set; 888 (me), JJJ (tight old person) and 444 (buddy). I thought my buddy was all-in pre-flop and I was playing for a side pot post flop.
Turn is a J, old person puts me all in. I say, "I think you have quads but I have a set, so I have to call". My friend still has chips that I couldn't see from #1 position, hears me, and folds because he knows and his set is no good.
River is a 4, which would have given home the quads over quads BB. I think it was a fixed BB of 16K back then.
Crappy part is I never table talk like that. Not sure if he would have folded if it wasn't for me 👉😑💨
My biggest blunder was quitting playing poker a decade ago, had i have known the games would be this good now. I would have at least kept my game sharp by playing monthly . This is pre 2006 level horrible
I had pocket queens preflop in the big blind. Flop comes down 88x. I raise to 30 cutoff reraised to 130 and I called getting wrong pot odds ended up getting stacked by a person at the bottom of their range and I knew he could very easily and most likely have an 8
went all in during a tournament w/ a Ace high flush hole cards 7, 4 of clubs with three aces on the board...hit the ace of clubs for the flush on the river...thought I was good and did not take into account the player could of had pocket pair loss to a boat
called 2bet preflop, checked the sneaky check on the flop, lead out with a 5 bet on the turn to try to rep a set of aces, player calls, then jams on river, I call...dominated...right before I called (not a snap...tanked for 3 mins or so)...I thought about a possible FH...but paid him off anyway...couldn't resist even if I knew I was doomed lol
I went all in with 7 2 offsuit on the turn in a 3 hand but I thought it was heads up so when the first person folded I showed the bluff not realizing another guy was still in the hand and I lost everything.
Ah, a very easy thing to remember... Flopped 4 of a kind, got distracted by something for just a split second, and mucked it. I am pretty decent at not making big errors if I got money in the pot, too much math being done in my head to get distracted. It's kinda why I can't and won't play tired, takes a lot of focus to run the numbers in my head quickly.
FLIPPING CARDS 😂😂😂😂 Oh Erik
Weird deck where hearts and diamonds looked very similar went all in with what turned out to be A high after it was pointed out that backdoor hearts did not in fact get there because it was a pure rainbow board on the turn. Also I was obviously snapped off since my line my absolutely no sense.
Bad turn lead, bad turn raise, bad turn call, bad river lead, wrong size river raise, bad river call. GG, well played 🤣🤣🤣
All in and thought I had a straight in the river. Slammed my cards on the table and called straight. We’ll..I didn’t have the straight!!! Everyone on the table including the dealer looked confused..😅😅😂😂
When I was still new to poker , I would play at my local casino a few times a week , 2/3 game. I was in the SB and it folded to me , I looked at the guy in the BB and said, “ chop chop ?” . He had suns glasses on and with a straight face said I never chop . For some reason It triggered me . Long story short I tried to triple barrel this guy off top top , and in the process lost 90 BBs 😅
Playing a home game, and got into a BB vs Button situation, I was in BB and extremely tight guy opened 4x on the button, I peeked at my cards and saw the two tips of aces, and 3 bet my hand, villain 4 bets large, and I Insta shoved for 500BB effective.
Button tanks and folds KK face up, I confidently flipped up my AA to show that he made an amazing fold, only to see I made this play with 44 😂
Worst blunder for me is calling all in aPrefop With AA if there is more then 2 ppl calling. You never win and 2 pair, or QQ is more likely to knock out aa
My worst blunder. I'm playing 75/150 stud @ the Taj in the 90s. I was listening to music way too loud. There were 3 of us in the river. I made Broadway in the river. But my board looked like an Ace high flush. The guy with the 9 high straight leads out, I raise, the 3rd guy was steamed and stood up. He was about to fold his small flush but I wasn't listening because my music was way too loud. So I tabled my hand before he actually folded. Obviously, he called and won the pot. Never listened to music while playing again!
I had JJ in a tournament in the cut-off I raised to 2.7BB to open SB and BB called. Flop was Q J 5. It was checked to me and I bet 20% pot and was called in both spots 10 on the turn and SB checks BB bet 33% pot I call and SB calls , river is a K. SB open shoves 2 x pot. BB folds and I know I am beat but I thought about it for 4 minutes and called off. SB had played A9 and I seen was very nitty later in tournament. I really hated the way I played every part of the hand and felt so stupid calling off when I can not be good ever.
