Bad Call

I decided to go play at friend’s game the other night. The stakes were pretty low, .50/$1. Anyhow, I’d been playing pretty tight all night. Been getting shitty cards too, but finally, in late position, I see a decent hand, AQo and get somewhat excited. This loose player (we’ll call him Player 1) raises to $4 preflop. He’s a pretty loose player and is just one of those players that plays the game to get lucky. Any face card is good, any potential draw is good, one of those type players. With that in mind, I decided to just call, pretty confident that he’s holding some K9o, A9o, something along those lines. The player (another extremely loose player that we’ll call Player 2) to my left calls. The flop comes QJ9 rainbow. With these 2 players in the hand, I’m pretty confident my hand is the best hand and am hoping to double up on this hand. Player 1 goes all in for $17 and I call. Player 2 raises to $50. So now I’m sitting and thinking, hmmm…. twice so far, I’ve seen this guy make a huge raise on a draw. I start to think about potential hands he could have, KQ? Q10? J10? Then it crosses my mind that he could potentially have 108. Then I think, “wait, there’s no way he has 108. He didn’t flop a straight.” So I go all in for $5 more and turn over my AQ. And of course, he turns over 108. What’s worst is that Player 1 turns over Q10 and hits his straight on the turn.
Oh well, what can you do? “That’s poker baby!”
