2017! NC/LC THREAD -- Small Stakes, 40 years to Mars - Page 48 - Small Stakes Poker Forum

8-way pot capped at 5 bets (I get stuck on the button with 88 on the installment plan). Flop is 457 with a flush draw, **** me. Everyone gets to see the flop for 1 bet, though.

Turn 5, checked to the capper who bets, some calls, an all-in somewhere.

River 3, checked to capper who bets, at least one disgusted fold and SB check-raises. BB calls and capper shrug-calls

SB: A6o
Capper: AA
BB sheepishly turns over 33

That's about the most standard small stakes hand story there is.

Played the 10/20 last night, ended up being O8-S8-BigO and one round of hold'em.

Two interesting hands to note: Get Q

UTG and limp, five limps

6

sb bets, calls around

5

checks around

10

button and I go 12 bets. Around bet 4 he Hollywoods then tries to level with some comment about QJ. Naturally going to keep raising even clearly knowing at bet 4 that he's got QJ as well.

Repeat the same exact situation only in BigO with AQ and AAQ on the board with a different player and him mocking me for continually raising after 4 bets.

What a bunch of sourpusses.

He doesn't have QJ 100% of the time and if anyone ever tries to deter you from raising, just ignore them.

I've seen someone go like 8 bets with the equivalent of J7 (second nut straight).

+1 exactly my thought process.

He had exactly 12 bets in front of him and I wasn't taking any chances with losing value obviously. His berating after the fact was humorous:

"I told you I had QJ, you just wasted my time."

Here's a reason why you never stop raising until they show you the chop.

Here's the dynamic:

River brings the 10, I bet. He raises. I raise. He raises. I raise. He does his little pause and dealie, says something "under his breath" about not having QJ. I respond "clearly you don't have it" and continue raising (convinced he had QJ spades).

8 bets later he gives me the jab about "wasting time."

Funny how that hand played out. Next hand we got into he had TT on the button and got the minimum cause he was scared to bet into the Q9Q flop. K-high bets river for him and he calls/i spite call on Q9Q72 with A9 for maximum lulz

tl;dr I think I irritate people just for being young

I observed a hand the other day in the 20 game where a guy 6 bet and called a 7 bet on an 9TJr board then raised called a 3! on a blank turn. He did not have KQ.

I mean to be fair people chop it like 95%+ but that still means bets go in with a 1-2% equity edge.

He had Q8 and was convinced that was the nuts.

After that hand, I was in serious danger of passing my all-time worse 4/8 loss of -$530 (and I've played A LOT of 4/8), which I feel would have been a pretty remarkable accomplishment but I rallied back for a respectable -$226.

I'm confused how KK vs AA vs 33 got in 40 bets... should there not be a cap?
I understand the no-cap HU rule, but I've never heard of any site or B&M where there's no cap in a 3+-way pot.

One time I flopped a set of fours and was convinced it was the nuts.

He's referring to the size of the pot.

One time I turned a set of Aces after a flop of K32 and was convinced it was the nuts, until about 10 raises in.

I'll be going back shortly for more punishment. Should be two games going, one being a must-move.

If I only bring two bullets I can only lose two bullets!

Didn't put him on top set when he put the 54th bet in on the flop?

I knew he couldn't have a bigger set when he raised the flop.

Even then, 40SB pot going into the turn?
If it's a 4-bet cap and 3 ways going into the turn, that's only 12, leaving 28 pre.

Was it capped 7 ways pre?

I'm sure more than three saw the turn. I've seen 45 big bets go in before the turn multiple times.

I went to the felt once with full stacks holding T9 on the T998x board in a heads up match a few years ago. My opponent had just called preflop so TT was discounted to <1 combo. He had 98.

I've already told the story of the time I went 10 bets with naked AA on the river and won vs naked TT. That was the day I felt that I had figured out poker finally:

Is there an opposite to schadenfreude? Spent a bit of time reading about the UB/AP remissions. The joy of others has brought me joy this AM. I didn't play there because even though it was rumored to be soft, it seemed like the sites were crooked. Thus, no money for me to recover. Still very happy that others will get monies. Hope a bunch of you guys/gals get tons of $$$.
