$25 poorer!

Its official, I am dead money!

A few turbo $6 dollar tournaments later and all I have to show for them is the $1.43 that I haven't bet with yet.

Okay so I had a few bad beats, but the last one I'm so annoyed with myself for doing.....it went something like this....

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Nik_Burns [6c 7c]
Incline: calls 30
Nik_Burns: calls 30
ThePlate: raises 90 to 120
OneTopDog: folds
eiflow: folds
dewajudi: folds
KaaapX: calls 105
tally1028: folds
Incline: calls 90
Nik_Burns: calls 90
*** FLOP *** [6s 7h 2s]
KaaapX: checks
Incline: checks
Nik_Burns: bets 1020
ThePlate: calls 1020
KaaapX: folds
Incline: folds
*** TURN *** [6s 7h 2s] [3c]
Nik_Burns: bets 310 and is all-in
ThePlate: calls 310
*** RIVER *** [6s 7h 2s 3c] [Qd]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Nik_Burns: shows [6c 7c] (two pair, Sevens and Sixes)
ThePlate: shows [Qh Qs] (three of a kind, Queens)
ThePlate collected 3170 from pot

The above is a straight pokerstars hand history email.

I'd played a few pots before this one quite aggressively with strong cards and was in a gambling mood.
Now I think that had I bet all in after the flop instead of just betting 75% of my stack I think that I would have had a better chance of taking down the pot. I'm pretty sure that my weakness of not doing that enduced the call.

But I would love to hear anyones comments on the above.

The only good news out of all this fiasco is that I now have 10 frequent player points to enter a sit&go that could potentially enter me into the WSOP, but I tell you, after my recent newbie play I think I have a long way to go yet.

    i think u were destined to lose the hand... dont think the dude was going to lay down QQ on a flop like that... even after u went allin...

    You played this hand VERY poorly.

    Fold preflop.

    Bet 500 on flop. Your bet is retarted.

    I wouldn't lay down QQ or any over pair, but I have no objection to your bet seemed justified, I just took AA down with 6-7 so yeah bad beat, you got rivered
