Hi guys, I play a poker home game short hand with 3 people ( 1 Call station, 1 Aggro, and 1 TAG Passive ) . Today i really Tilt and i thinks my self really damn **** in play. I would be very grateful to receive the sincere feedback from you.

I play 6 hours, and i miss 3 hand give me really Tilt . Frist i will say some information i know about them . ( Call station, he will call any weak pair or midpair with me on Flop Turn and check River, and he also call so much w GutShot Draw, sometime he hit he check raise trap, and sometime he hit and bet ) ( Aggro, he really Aggressive with Draw, and will bet 3/4 or over pot with Tpair weak Kicker in mutilpot ) ( TAG Passive, he just like check call and just raise 2pair+, much time he also Tilt and 55+,TJ+ all in after badbeat or emotion )

TAG Passive in CO (100bb), Hero BU 150bb, Call sation in SB (450bb+), Aggro in BB (150bb+)

PF : CO Limp, Hero BU (52s) Limp, SB Limp, BB Check. ( I limp coz i thinks i can implied pot , they never fold if have Tpair )

Flop 556 (pot : 4bb)


Sorry my bad english, i really thanks very much if u give me answers

I Check, BU bet 9bb (I have Stabe value and i call)

Turn J (32bb)

I Check, BU Fast bet 20bb, ( Damn, My mind read he really play like buff, and also semi buff, i decide call on my emotion so bad )

River 5 (72bb)

I Check, BU Fast bet (60bb) ( ****ing, this time i really want **** my self, 1 half my brain want call, and half want me fold ) I decide Fold, and he Show for me , he have nothing (68s ), he say he know i have Tpair or Midpair and he know i will fold this ? He say this and make me fukiing Tilt more

2 Check, I Cbet 9bb, Sb call, BB fold

Turn J (31bb)

SB check, I Cbet 20bb, SB Call

River : 5 (70bb)

SB Bet 50bb, I Fold ( I really thinks he have nothing coz in past, if he hit he often check raise, but also sometime he bet not check trap) and He Show hand K2o , he say he buff me coz he know i have A and scare this broad, WTF !!! ?

And in 6 Hour , i really hard to play, then i have my stardard hand (AJ+,TT+)
time i hit Set, they always fold, Time i have AT+ and Iso raise PF 7 or 8bb they always call Mutilpot and they dnt care me ( IP or OP) if OP Mutipot i cant bet if not hit and they 3/4 pot, and in my IP (BU) after call my raise 8bb, if Flop dnt have Q+ they will bet 3/4 pot or check call me crazy ? I know just should adjust on value them, but then i hit Tpair i bet they fold or i win a smalll pot at Flop and they also check fold at Turn, then I Light Cbet they always call like they know my hand have ? I aldready beat them in past, but today i thinks they really have a good day, so much wait Draw to Success (10 hand Draw, they will hit 7) and so much broad help they beat me, Can you give a Adjust how to beat this type or How i can control Stress ?

TAG Passive doesn't really make much sense because TAG stands for tight and aggressive. Although I suppose he could be a slightly passive TAG, or you could describe him as tight passive (or maybe just tight with average aggression?)


fold 52 pre. this is one of the worst hands you can be dealt. You want to be playing cards that are stronger than average.

Your descriptions of tilting is very funny. You could possibly look at that to see the humor in how you tilt and use it to not tilt by seeing it is silly Also, first hand is fine, just unlucky he hits the 9 on the river.

2nd hand I would check flop after raising pf and then call down knowing the guy likes to bluff.

3rd hand, I would check back flop as well and then bet turn and river for value.

It looks like these guys know that you are always betting when you have a hand and checking when you dont. This is why you should add these middling hands to your flop check range so that you still have some good top pair and middle pair top kicker hands in your range for turns and rivers.

Thanks guys for Answers.

Ya. this is not TAG Passive ( my mistake ) he was Loose Passive and like Fit or Fold.

at 2nd hand, I fold River coz in the past he really Agg w Draw, dat reason i scare he also hit and boom

3rd hand, dat mean i should adjust sometime check w Tpair ?

You know, I can definitely feel your pain. But honestly, you could have avoided most of these situations if you just upgraded your preflop game.

Iso raise with A8o only 4bb in a limped pot when you have calling stations behind you? Raising A9o only 6bb after 2 limpers from the BB? And limping 52s when you're not last to act. Homegame or not, you're just getting yourself into trouble by playing trash with sizing mistakes.

To easy your tilt, just think about the situations where you lucked out or bluffed someone, how good did that feel? Now you're just on the other side of the spectrum in a homegame crapshoot


Edit: to provide at least some useful information, do not go lower than 54s with your suited connectors with A2s being the exception.

A2s has only one way to hit a str8: A2 345
32s has only 2ways to complete a str8: A 23 45, 23 456
43s has 3 ways to complete a str8: A2 34 5, 2 34 56, 34 567
54s+ have 4 ways to complete a str8: A23 45, 23 45 6, 3 45 67, 45 678.


A2s - A5s would be an exception here since they can make top pair on a broadway board + the nutflush, so it's an ok hand, but playing everything below 54s is like flippig a coin while getting 80cts on the dollar...not so smart

The preflop selection really needs some work.

Thanks you so much for advice, this time i really adjust my stragety long time PF and F better

Thanks you bro, ya i should selection + add hand PF better
