Dirty Gutshot for All the Money (cash)

DEFINITION

Sometimes you get such a great hand, you are bound to lose money when someone hits a hand that is nearly impossible to see or predict. One could argue that the raise by Player 7 on the turn probably meant that the Hero was in trouble, but who calls a pre-flop raise and flop continuation bet with such a hand?

However, it's interesting to note that Player 7's call on the flop was not bad because he was just a 60/40 underdog at that point. On the flop, Hero gave Player 7 30% on his pot odds, while the actual odds had Player 7 at a 20% chance to win. Player 7 decided to gamble, hoping to hit his miracle card while also having the chance for a backdoor flush.

Unfortunately for Hero, Player 7 caught the card he needed and put the hurt on our Hero.
