I have commented before on how FT gives you the unavoidable hand along with the fact that you cannot play normal. The one below is so typical.
Just minding own business on the BB - no bets by the time it gets to me. I have Q 5 suited. The flop gives me a set of fives. I check. The guy on the has raised on the button five straight times of course he raises this time. Surpisingly the small stack in the SB calls for almost all his chips. Okay I think, I got him easily covered and he probably hit the K. Flush draw at worst but, being a short stack I figure he would have shoved all his chips if he were on the draw.
Now I think, button has checked all his draw hands before, he bet this flop. God damn - he's got a K too. I can slow play this - there is only one out if I read this right - the single remaining King. Okay - I'll just call the SB and get all of the button's chips on the river. Please, anything but a K.
KKKKKKKKKKK - Foking K on the river!
Of course both the small blind and the button had the K.
Not the worst beat by far that anyone would ever see. But it is so illustrative of this site and how the hands are set up. (A) I am not even in the hand if I am not the BB and everyone limps to me. (B) I am out of the hand other then the fact I flopped a foking set (C) The flop - of course - hits the all of the three players in the hand (D)I make the exact right read (e) I get the inevitable one-outer foking.
I know readers would say you blew it - you should have shoved on the flop. In Live - yep. At FT - I know I am getting called anyway - the shove gives me no protection and no folding equity.
