I decided to play some 5/10 NL tonight for a change of pace. It seems that in LHE, I get the a**hole card all the time, but in NL I'm the one a-hole carding everyone else.

Case in point. 2-3 limpers to me OTB with K9 and I limp with about $1300 behind, deep-stacked enough to play this hand.

The flop comes AQJ. The BB min-bets out (lol). One limper calls. I raise my monster draw to $60, as this is enough to buy me a free card in this ridiculously passive game. BB calls the raise, limper folds. HU.

Turn is the 8. Check-check.

River is the 4. BB bets out $55. I make it $255. He goes "aiya, you got the nuts? OK you deserve this" and calls me. I show the nuggets, and he rolls the Q8 for the turned two pair. He improved his hand to the second nuts and lost a nice big pot.

Raise preflop, bet turn (not just for semibluff value now but also to build a pot so that you can make something on the river). You are such a limit player.

edited to add: I need serious help with my connect 4 game!

definitely raise preflop. as played i like the flop raise and turn check. there are so many pair+draw combos that are gonna call you on the turn anyways, then its gonna be an expensive river bluff with Khi since if you bet the turn you know youre gonna get called. avoid that whole mess by just checking back the turn.

A little 8/16 hand, which maybe explains this hand:

Hero raises a couple of limpers with QQ in the HJ, CO and blinds tag along.

Flop : 227
Checked to Hero who bets, CO, one other player call.

Turn : 9
Check, Hero bets, CO calls, other guy folds.

River : Q
Hero bets, CO raises. The guy's been pretty spewy, and I can't remember if I stopped at 5 bets or 7 before he showed me the quads.

I feel like the definition of A**hole card should just have a link to this hand:

Just out of curiosity, Nina, is the river raise standard? How often is he bet/calling with a 6 or worse? Aren't you usually chopping here? And if he's bluffing, he won't call, so how much value is there?

people don't fold flushes, people don't fold boats.

This would explain why he would c/c a flush or a worse boat. Doesn't explain why he would b/c them.

Try again plz.

he doesn't need to. people bet/call a 6 there online. do not give your opponents credit for thinking like you.

you actually think people check any hand with value here? Do you realize how horrible that is?

Of course it's horrible. But people play horribly. Isn't that your point? Anyway, don't you need to be like a >66% favorite when you raise and call a 3-bet on this river for the initial raise to be profitable?

It's not just that it's horrible, it's very atypical of the average online player and this villain especially.

FWIW

EDIT: I probably need less that 66% because i'm chopping with some of his 3 betting hands. I'm not sure if this is correct though. I need to think about it more.

4 terrible limpers, including a guy with 54s. I decide to raise 66 from the CO for some reason, even though I almost always limp in this spot. But I guess I knew I was gonna flop a set. The BB calls with 76s as do all the limpers.

Flop 763r. There's all kinds of carnage and by the time the turn K and river 5 are dealt out, I've lost a lot of chips. That's what I get for raising 66 I guess.

I don't understand why you'd do anything besides raise.

The anti-a**hole card came and I almost mucked it. It took me about 10 seconds and a 2nd look before I realized what happened.
