I bet the turn and was called.

the river came a blank I bet the river.

opponent folded AJ face up and said " I knew you had a flush but I had to call you because I could of made a full house.

No I knew exactly what I was doing I was repping a flush and I continued to do so from flop to river.

in other words I was betting he didn't have a club and would fold to continued pressure. he was a dog to have a club and he didn't have one. my having a club or a hand of any kind whatsoever was completely irrelevant to the play. and I was rewarded justifiably.

you're the best

agreed there are esp against players who have little knowledge of card probability and doggedly adhere to preconceived notions about the game and how it can be played.lots of times its not about the cards you hold. but about what they think you may hold. Id bet if I didnt tell I had red tens and played the hand from fishes point of view many would of recommended folding to the turn bet. maybe even the flop raise.

it has nothing to do with how often he donks and everything to do with how often he has one club or two and how often he will fold to continued pressure on the flop and beyond.

I think I got dumber reading this thread.

And so the 2/3 of the time a 4th club doesn't come by the river you're putting in 3 BB to try to win <6 BB (due to rake)?

And this doesn't even cover the times he has a club. Or he doesn't and he calls you anyway.

By ignoring the actions he's taken you assume he's playing without looking at his cards!

Many mentioned how you are crushed most of the time and you insist that firing 3BBs is the correct play. I guess you were right, perfect play. What was the point of the thread again?

An inflated sense of ego, ldo.

Oh, I missed this thread. I'll lock.
