Rich,

like 80% pot. Just shrug and bet. A million combo draws call you, two pairs, sets. You're allowed to go broke with half a stack and a two card straight on a draw heavy board.

Only thing I would add is that while feeling bad about short stacking for several years is commendable, you can let it go now.

It’s 6:40pm, I’ve lost 2 buyins at PLO. Walked away steaming. Went to diner next door for dinner and to cool off.

On list for 2/5nl and playing 1/2nl in the meantime. I’ve got a hole to dig out of.

An MGM 500 hand that was mildly interesting. I’m on 260k playing 1-2k with a 2k big blind. I raise to 4500 with JJ UTG. UTG+2 flats, he has me covered. Two folds. Relatively short stack (62k) raises to 14k. Folded back to me.

I have played with UTG+2 before and he is never flatting AA-QQ in that spot. What’s my action?

When I'm in the mindset of "I've got a hole to dig out of," it's time to stop playing cards. You're going to go into the next game like a bull and be extra annoyed at any more bad beats. Even if you win your buyins back, you likely still won't feel great about it.

This is why I prefer playing online. Live, I feel too much pressure to keep playing because, "Well I'm already here..." At home, I can just drink heavily and play video games until my eyes bleed. Meh, I'm probably just losing my poker stamina.

You have 130bb yourself though. What were starting stacks?

Calling obviously bad

UTG+2 started the hand with 310k.

I’ll answer what I did in the morning. I did think it was an interesting spot and I’m not sure my line was correct.

Flat and try to flop set 3 ways?

It’s all one long game.

The Legend of Swings right there.

Larry's steamy return to chat poker is exciting and welcomed.
If the thread survives I will be awaiting credit for envisioning this a year ago.

Just heard Judge Judy use penny-ante in normal conversation. Huh. Who woulda thunk it's a real word.

Thought he was a good fit in the Triton game. His play was sporadic, timid at times and then full-on ego in big pots he had no business being in. His likability goes up if you think of him as an assassin instead of an older guy with money to burn.

I've been watching the latest Triton games, and it feels like its the first time I've ever seen him try to be personable. Still doesn't appeal to me.

I don’t think he’s the sort that slowplays AA-QQ there, but I could be wrong. And if I call and he minraises, it reopens betting to the 62k stack; and if the 62k stack then jams, the deep stack behind me would have a live raise.

Interestingly, pokersnowie would have folded both JJ and QQ in my spot.

Irrelevant results: raiser had AA.
