please explain how this call is even remotely acceptable call? Its horrendous. bad beat to the OP

Although i disagree with why thats the reason you will never win at low stakes.........the fact you think that is.......thats the reason

In fairness this can happen at ANY level for a variety of reasons and does often.
Please understand that A-A is really not that strong, NO HAND IS.
7-2 os beats it all in pre 1 time in 8 which is not unusual. On some days it's often.
Poker isn't like this, it is it. Sux huh ? It's how you deal with it that counts.
Sorry man. You know what i mean ?

GaryQQQ

On the flop you had 94% equity in the pot, your opponent only had 6%. Finding callers in situations like this is highly desirable and is a reason why you will win at low stakes. Every now and then he/she will get lucky, but that's poker, most times you will take their stack.

Ms_Chips

so in short, you are proposing that being miles ahead against a back door draw is why you can not win at low stakes poker?

Do you lose these... eh, well.. flips all the time?

The_Don90

for a note a reason why NL4 is beatable. Ok so i get stacked, im not bothered why? Because i can simply make a note on my opponent, i clearly out play him, i kill his odds flush. So as a result im not upset at losing because i got it in as a favorite.
