March Low-Content Thread - Page 23 - Medium Stakes Poker Forum

I don't think set vs trips is nitty at all. Huge difference, really. Do you think A3 on AA9 flop is the same thing as AA on an A93 flop? Answer becomes clear once you start getting heavy action on the AA9 flop from an old rock.

obviously its a huge difference but who cares if a tard mixes the two up. its like telling someone a hand was 60/40 and not actually a coinflip. the meaning is still conveyed and if its not its probably because the person doesn't think about the game on the same level you do. its poker not physics. point is people take some of the silliest elements of poker culture way too seriously.

What you did is actually very simple. It's called a tri-fecta and you can very rarely get them off except against very special opponents and there are almost always lines that are going to yield more profit in the long run.

That used to tilt u like crazy so we started doing it ourselves and made live poker much more interesting.

Another fav thing to do when I'm up against a tag or 2p2er is yell out "top two," when I have like 56 on a 63342 board when they obv have Ak high.

This is bordering on a slowroll unless you have already tabled your hand and they can clearly see it first.

Does the line c/r/call, c/r/call, c/r count as a trifecta?

The best is when he starts talkin about hand ranges. Perfect example of someone who can learn all the terms and concepts, and still misapply them so poorly. I'm pretty sure he lurks here at least some of the time. The "broadway" thing tilted the f out of me. I'm like, just turn over your ****ing hand , I know what a straight is. Im also pretty sure he would say set when he had trips.

Slowrolling 2p2ers and nittags is perfectly acceptable. Also it's hardly a slowrolling when they play so predictably that they always have A-high. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who sucks at hand reading, fwiw.

I don't agree with this but I guess we all have our own opinions on it.

dude I was messing w you, but read back over what I wrote and explain how it could ever be slowrolling. Obv I turn the hand over when I say it, but only a total idiot would muck an overpair before I show assuming I have AA.

Also, I guess you didn't mean to have the board make a straight for your 65.

yeah I didn't, which I guess is where we are diverging. I thought I had 56 on 63352.
