why shove in the dark?

he was sure a smooth talker, i almost folded!

If I didn't have a dog i'd probably would.

not when its the first heads up pot with this villain. With history, **** yeah!

Boulevard always unless the bad beat is super crazy at elsewhere
Although just found out a young asian kid won the bad beat though.... and he just won another at Edgewater for a similar amount a week ago... some people are just so EV+

It was cool to see the Surrey November niner at Boulevard though talking to one of the dealers while I was grinding.

I never had any intention to raise when I called his flop check min raise, however, just his confidence in his 2nd and 3rd barrels really made me tank thinking if he had top set all along. But since he limped call my PFR, I justified the river call and hoping I counterfiet pocket 7's or lower (but not the godly pocket 4, that would have gave him quads :P)

and the dog excuse

for sure

Hilarious hand from last night. I cant remember exact stack sizes, but whatever...

2/3NL 200max in Australia. The lineup for this particular hand

BB: Young kid with a massive betsizing tell, basically makes it 12x with anything above QQ+ or AK. When he always checks AK ui, and bets everything else, well... good times... Il call him freddy

MP1: Younger kid who is learning. Lets call him stevo

MP2: Old bloke who has the strategy of call raises and flop the nuts every second hand. Lets call him Grandpa

CO: A pretty solid reg but prone to see to many flops. A winner overall. Lets call him james

button: Some dude who folds to flop. Lets call him the dude that folds the flop.

Game is pumping, best game I have been in in months. Bunch of people limp, I fold, and freddy makes it 35 total from the BB. Everyone involved in the hand calls...

POT 210?: Flop J23 with a flush draw.

freddy checks (lol). Stevo bets 20... thats right, the old tenth of the pot bet. Gramps calls, james calls after some thinking, the guy that folds the flop folds on the flop, and freddy in the BB tanks and calls.

TURN: 290ish? Qo

Checks to Gramps, who bets 25. james calls, freddy calls, stevo calls

RIVER: 2o pot is now around 400...

james shoves for, get this, 21... 21 into 400. Stevo calls, gramps calls, james folds what he claims was 45s...

HANDS...

Freddy in the BB shows AK for the worst river play ever.

Stevo shows JTo. Gramps shows Q7o and takes it down...

-----------------------------------------

I end up being a loser for the night

i'm so confused.

so James folded, claimed he folded 45s, but then flipped his cards before they hit the muck and showed AK? why would anyone do that

also how did Q7o take it down if Stevo called with JT, which hit the J?

changed the action, was supposed to change the river from an 8 to a 2 instead of the turn from a q to a 2....

And BB donk shove bluffed one twenthieth of the pot with ace high

Why not? It's all going in anyway. No matter what turn card comes I'm never check folding.

yep, but your opponent dosent need to know that,..

There is an obvious lesson here. Q7 is more likely than any other hand to flop a pair... Win the hand, etc. Computer hand or whatever.

I think I'll welcome Q7 into my 4bet value range.

agreed

+1

+1 for pictures of hot girls too

i kinda like the dark shove

Hi everyone. Just wondering if my play was right.

Just sat down on a 1/2/2 table at Bay 101. I'm playing tight at first like I always do to observe the players. Anyways, a gentlemen in seat 8 folded top pair against a player to my right who was obviously tilting. He gave us a speech about how well he reads people..... whatever. I am sitting with 100bb and I get dealt QQ utg and raise to $12. It is folded around to seat 8 and he makes the $12 and the sb and bb fold. I'm in seat 4 by the way. The flop comes 10 9 4r and I bet $15. He quickly calls and a 3x is dealt on the turn. At this point, I'm thinking he has an ace rag type of hand and obviously hit the flop to make a call because of his hand earlier against the tilted player. I then check to trap and move all in, which works. He immediately calls and turns over A9o. On the river, he spiked an Ace to win the hand.
Any comments, thoughts, suggestions would be great. Thank you

So you are sitting with $20 at the table and you put in 60 percent of your stack pre? Dumb. Just ship it. The same person who called $12 knowing you have $8 behind is calling $20. Of course your numbers add up to $27 in the text, so I'm confused.

Seriously, people, edit yourself when you post and make sure you have things right.

OH CRAP. correction , 100 bb. Sorry

I fixed this but you got your money in with the best hand and he spikes a 5 outer on the river.

OP, you're fairly new. This really belongs in our BBV thread, where I'm sending it.

lol why are you check-trapping if villain will river the ace???

was in a $2/$5 game, 1k cap in southern california last night and saw a hand with semi intriguing action

UTG limps, 2 folds, MP2 limps, 2 folds, BTN limps, SB completes, BB checks

KhTh7d
SB checks, BB bets $75 into $25, THREE CALLS, SB now craises to $275, BB flats, UTG flats, MP2 flats and BTN folds

Turn is 9c
SB jams for about $1100, BB calls for his remaining $700, UTG shows me 98o and folds, MP2 snap calls covering both.

River 3s
SB shows TT, BB claims two pair, MP2 shows QJo


Obv a cooler, but the flop action almost made my eyes fall out of my face, a 3x pot bet got called in 3 spots, then got raised, which was called in 3 spots

Live 1/3NL game.

I'm sitting with $750, he's sitting with a little under $600.

I'm in MP with TT. I raise to $10(mainly because it's just easier to toss out 2 $5 chips.) BTN who is an Uber aggrotard who has been luckboxing people all day calls.

Flop comes 44Tr. I check, he bets... who cares, I throw out a pot raise, he shoves. I insta-call. Turn come a 4 and river is who cares.


He flips over 43o. FML.

$2/$5 game at a local cardroom. This was a few years ago so the details might not be clear, but it was an absolutely massive pot.

There was a raise preflop and 3-4 callers.

Flop: Qh 7s 7h

Action goes check bet raise, re-raise, all-in call call. Three players end up all-in on the flop and two of them turn their cards up.

Player 1 has Q-Q for top boat. Player 2 has Q-7 for bottom boat. Player 3 does not show his cards yet but says he needs an ace.

Turn and river are 10h 6h and player 3 flips up 8h 9h for the runner-runner straight flush. He was the player that moved all-in and got called by the other two.

Just getting back into live poker.

So, it's my second week and I haven't flopped a set in six sessions at 1-2 NL live, probably 30-35 hours.

It's starting to annoy me, I'm up at most a couple hundred bucks, while watching paint dry and grass grow at good loose weekend tables.

Calling 4-5 ways $10-15 with 22-88 and missing is getting really old.

I assume this is a standard dry spell and I should stfu? One of you probably has some sick month-long span?

I only flop sets with AA, KK and sometimes QQ.

Not flopping a set in 30 hours is standard.

That's about 1000 hands. You'll get dealt a pp about 5.8% of the time. You'll hit a set on the flop 12% of the time. That works out to be at best you can expect a set 7 times. Considering that you'll fold some of your pairs, it is running cold, but I've gone several thousand hands on-line without hitting a set. FWIW, I've gone 0 for 30 hitting FDs on the turn, too.

Nothing to really analyze or discuss but just crazy hand 2/5:

Hand is limped 6-way action, I folded J7 o in the small blind.

Flop comes 10 9 8 2 hearts. BB leads out for pot, UTG raises, third person 3-bets, one fold, 4th guy shoves and button calls. BB tanks, then calls. Everyone else folds after that.

Total pot wasn't enormous since most involved had 1 buy-in, but crazy action. It ends up 4 people (including me but I folded pre) flopped a straight, only 1 with the nut straight, and 2 people flopped top two pair.

Turn and river comes 2 more hearts for 4 hearts, but NONE of the people all-in had a heart and the guy who flopped nut straight takes it down.

Crazy.

Brag: Won my first +$1000 pot
Beat: Was ready to call a villain who had 300BB and I covered, but a shorty 3bet so I folded. Would have flopped quads to the first villain's top FH. Shorty had K3o.
Variance: Managed to avoid the plague of river 2 outers going on at my table tonight.
