Abdication of the kings
Just to finish the story from yesterday. Both private and public comments seem to agree with my fold (if you're new to this one, I have black kings and have led pre-flop, and into two opponents on the flop and turn. The board is 2357 with two each of the red suits. Over my 3/4 pot sized bet of $10 on the turn, one player has raised to $23 and the next all in to $26, I folded).
So imagine my surprise, as they say, after a black ten on the river, when:
My jaw dropped ...
I guess, when you play with the donkeys you've got to expect the occasional kick to the shins (or other, more sensitive, parts of the anatomy).
Will I fold next time? I don't know. In any reasonable construction I'm massively behind chasing zero (made straight), one (made set, flush draw for the other) or two outs (two made sets?) If I allow for optimism and just put both players on flush draws, with some straight possibilities, I'm certainly ahead, but not massively so.

- Mr “Definitely on Tilt” the original raiser, turns over A♦2♠ for bottom pair, gutshot, and an over card
- Mr “Normal until Now” BB, turns over 4♥4♠ for underpair, open ended straight draw.
