I think this qualifies???

I'm in SB and it's folded around. The player in the BB has been trash talking me ALL night and while I am not at all tilty, generally, I also wouldn't mind getting him to shut the **** up for a while. BB doesn't chop. I look down at 4-4 and raise. He 3! And I 4! And he calls.

Flop comes down a dream: A A 4. I bet. He raises, I 3! He calls.
Turn is a 3. We repeat same betting as on the flop.
River is a 3. I TILT THE **** OUT and got up off the game (and I NEVER lose it like that, but...).

Is that a correct example of an assahole card (the 3?!)

And, btw, I c/c his river bet and he shows A-K off, meaning he played the hand TERRIBLY to boot.

No, this is not an ass hole card. You just got sucked out on.

An ass hole card improves your hand but you lose.

It's like if you have AA on a board of JT6. Turn 3. River A. You lose to KQ.
It's like if you have KsQs on a board of Kd7s4s. Turn 3h. River 9s. You lose to As2s.
It's like if you have TT on a board of J43. Turn 3. River T. You lose to JJ.

In your hand, you flopped a full house and never improved it.

Ohhhhhhhh. My bad. Got it. ******* cards blow. That happens all the time, seems like, and it usually makes someone's straight or flush, as in your example.

Is this good for A-hole card?

Yes. But fold the turn.

I dunno, I thought he played the hand fine.

Unreasonably tight mp(will fold AK on 942 flop for 1bet). Button seems normalish so far, blinds are tight. im the co
mp limps, i raise A5cc, button calls, blinds fold
flop: 2 3 Kc
bet,call,call
a**hole turn: 4r
bet, i raise,button 3bet, utg folds, i 4bet, button 5bets, i call
river: Q
i check call
button 56 obv.

Oaks 30-60. MP limps, Villain in CO (decent TAG) raises, BTN coldcalls. I'm in SB with 66 and call the raise, hoping for enough players to justify set-mining. Sure enough, BB calls and the MP limper calls.

Flop: A 6 4

I check, action checks to villain who bets, BTN calls, I raise, the field clears out, villain calls, BTN calls.

Turn: A64 9

I bet, villain raises, BTN gets out of Dodge, I 3-bet, villain 4-bets! I call.

I'm thinking I've taken a strong line, so the villain's four-bet represents a really strong hand.

River: A649 9

I want a bet to go in on the river, but that card could be an action killer. I donk out. Villain raises. I crying-call, saying "Full house." Villain shows A9. FML.

Alan, no.

lol what the hell is villain going to 4b on the turn then check behind? also, that's not an ******* card

At least you didn't play in tempo, spew and c/r the river only to get three-towned. That would be worse.

Checkraisig that river with that hand would be *facepalmfacepalmfacepalm*

Yeah, alan would never ever (ever) do that. Knowing the villians hand makes it easy to say this- but donking this river is bad, yes? Check/call better?

Check/call>bet/call>k/r/c

Edit: imr, alan haz boat.

Also- me attempting to talk strat with ILR is like riding a tricycle at a nascar race.

i dont understand how we think we are behind on the turn and are ahead on the river, if the turn and river suits were reversed i could, but not as it occurred

so either alan should b/3/5 the turn or check call the river, right?

Waiting at bars sucks.

Check call and it's not even close, IMO

15/30. I'd been playing a 30/60 feeder with this guy an hour earlier and he'd endeared himself to exactly no one. I raise 66 from the HJ. He calls button, blinds call.

Flop: A Q 6

I bet, villain raises, two folds, I 3-bet, villain calls.

Turn: 6

I bet, villain raises, I 3-bet.

River: A

This is so fortuitous that I feel lost. I check (?). Villain speechifies and bets. "I think we've got a new leader here," he says.

I'd bet. What happened?

So villain had AQ and this was the a**hole card for him?

Sorry for the oblique editing style. This was the ******* card for villain, the *******. I c/r, he just calls and mucks. Given that he's aggro and spazzy enough to have a raise the turn again with less than AK/AQ+, I can't decide if b/3b is better. To get in the c/r while he was orating a smug speech was admittedly a rare treat.

Foxwoods 20/40. 5 people limp and, because I Like Big Pots And I Cannot Lie, I raise JT in the SB. The BB calls and we go off 7 ways.

Flop 5 9 8. I bet, villain 1 calls, and villain 2 raises. I 3bet, villain 1 tanks and calls, and villain 2 calls too.

Turn 7. I bet, both villains call. As soon as villain 2 calls, I decide that I am going to go for the screwplay and announce "check dark." Villain 1 instantly bets the river dark. The river is the 6, putting a straight flush on the board. Villain 2 calls, I execute the checkraise, and I both call. Villain 1 looks disgusted and tables the K 3. Villain 2 shakes his head and mucks silently.

I don't think a card that merely kills your action but doesn't cost you the pot can be an ass hole card.

Besides, nobody had the Ac so you prob didn't lose much action regardless.

This was from like 4 years ago, but I feel we need to right the ship.

Laggy guy opens UTG, Jesse 3-bets in HJ, I cold-call in CO with KJ, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: K93
BB donks and has 0.5 bets left, UTG folds, Jesse raises, I call, BB calls all-in

Turn: 7
Jesse bets, I call.

River: J
Jesse bets, I raise. Jesse tanks and tries to figure out how I can have a straight here and then 3-bets. I crying call and Jesse shows me two red cards.

Ugh, fold PF. But yuck about the case jack.

LOL at Villain 1's river dark bet. Bet he didn't consider the fact that he might play the board!

The river actually made hero money anyway. Villain 2 might have had a set and was only calling the river to play the board.
