Sick calls thread - Page 2

I got one from last night - PokerStars.

Double or nothing - 6 left - top 5 win.

I am 6th barely and looks like if I can win one more pot of just blinds and antes I could coast into top 5.

Look down and see AhKh and go all in with abt 1000 chips. Folds around to BB (which was 200 and this guy has 1700 left after the bb) and he CALLS me with Q6 off suit.

He hits a 6 on the flop - no worries because I flopped a K. Why I am trying to figure out why this guy called and not just waited the last guy out....he rivers a freakin' 6!!

I was stunned.

I know that feeling propiper. It's almost like the person knows he will win.

I wouldn't call on a Q6os when the table was just raised to 1000, ante's at 100/200.

That be called a donkey call.

When you paired your K, that should have been the game.
Some players have all the luck.

That's happened to me more times than I care to remember.
Having the nuts hand on the flop, just to have it taken away on the river.

There's always another game to play.

As Don mentioned, that's more of a donkey call than a sick call...my god...some people...if he loses, he's the short stack, so why bother? that should have been an easy laydown..

Oh man that sucked. i had the same thing happen to me the other night but i had kk, and they had AA, and i stayed hoping for the third K, but, of course luck was with them and not me, and an A was the river! lol

Don't we all know that feeling.

Be careful with pairs in your hand, especially when calling an all-in or making one.

I've had an AA slapped in face before with small pairs going all in and catching their trips to win the pot.

If you don't have to go all in while calling an all-in, go for it with a pair, just make sure you keep enough to play a few more hands so you can try to win it back if you lose.
