Hmmm, results oriented thinking from an old school pro? This doesn't sound right at all!!

Its not a fold and its not close imo, i probably shove thinking he has 8x or J8 but whatever its only like 4k left anyway so not much difference either way.

Also i advise posting ANY strat hand in the MSNL forum as you will generally get more constructive analysis and less BS.

also this lol

word mischa solid advice

Thanks Mischa, especially because this was an overnight game and it was heads up and I think you can figure out who it was against (S). Against him it's almost a call, just wanted to know if I could ever get away from it.




Yes yes, it also didn't help he was the one who gave me the one time 30/70 deal

OP the ppl trolling you in this thread are fish. its all good man.

howd i know this thread was gonna be a hidden bad beat or brag post

Is this not the easiest call of all time?

Not necessarily the easiest call of all time, I think it would be easier to call with 66 or 1010 but that's just me...

in any case I pretty much called quickly lol just wanted to know if i could get away from it

lol i just realized you're the "pot control" guy

" you can't possibly play these stakes and make this post. "

Truth Tella

It's amazing how many successful poker players criticize me on here. If my posts are not to your liking you can either:

1) stop reading
2) give something constructive
3) go tell someone who gives a sh*t what you say


I've been a winning poker player for the past 3-4 years, playing 5-10 and above. Do I spaz out and do something stupid or second guess a correct play sometimes? Yes. Is sometimes my second guessing result-oriented? Yes.

But you know what everyone? Unless you are a poker player who has never made a mistake or second guessed a decision in his time playing, then you need not be so irritating when you make posts.


This is supposed to be a forum where people should not be afraid to freely post their HHs. They should not be in fear of getting trolled by you idiots. Luckily I don't care for the nonconstructive criticism.


The thing I find most hilarious is half the people who criticize me are playing 1-2.. Nothing wrong with playing 1-2, but perhaps sometimes you don't understand the dynamics of certain play, and knowing that a 15k bet isn't usually a bluff. I find it even more hilarious when these high stakes players that I would otherwise respect, act like they've never made a mistake in their lives.


Well don't worry, I won't post any more hands on here.

^ i understand how frustating it may be to get flamed, but all in all you have to be pleased with the result of the thread if you are somewhat able to see through all the noise and have a look at the serious posts. there are a bunch of good ms and hs players, who are presumably still active (hello hsnl) & winning, who gave you advice. maybe you think some posts were too short, or maybe you wished there would be more discussion, but there really ain't too much to say about this hand, because most ppl agree on how to play this out well. don't be mad bro

I like constructive criticism. However, posts such as "/ban" or "how can you play these stakes and make these posts", are just useless. I'm a little bit mad, but would rather classify it as irritating. All in all, I know there are a lot of helpful people on here, I just wished I didn't have to dig through all the crap to find them.

Very surprised nobody has mentioned it but you should be way more aggressive, most likely on the flop in the hand you described where you flopped middle set---against Villain as described.

lol @ you getting all self-righteous when you make a full on BBV bad beat post.
there is absolutely no way in hell you can ever fold this hand in this spot so wtf do you want people to say?

maybe if you posted a hand where you were faced with a tough decision and not just a bad beat cooler you'd get some serious replies.

but keep on getting mad at everyone else cuz its def us not you who made the silly post.

...^

Sorry OP, but you kind of deserve the bashing you're getting ITT.

Okay everyone is better than me at poker.

You can put that on the record.


/thread please

I mentally can't Accept that villian calls the turn here. I thought I ran bad that's a pretty brutal 15k one outer. The fact that you can play these stakes makes me realize how far I have to go in my career.

well, villain represents here JUST 77. Nothing else makes actually any sense. NOTHING else. He had never 99/TT here.

The problem is how much fishy he is - like could he done this with 8X? This is the only question here.

If he is not as big fish as you describe him, although he represents just 77, he also has 77 like all the **** time here

ahh but honestly I had a feeling he had 77 but I had to call no matter what.. nothing else made sense....although 77 didn't make sense either...

The only reason this hand seems interesting to you is because of how much money is on the line. The third hand would have been more interesting to post where you had 55 and he had 44.

That is probably true I must admit...


How would you have played the 55 vs 44 hand?

raise turn, bet river (55 hand obv)
