5/5 game with 20 dollar rock (mandatory straddle from winner of last hand)

i limp ah5h2s9s under the straddle, loose guy calls, loose fish calls, fish in sb makes it 110, i call both others call, flop ad4hth, sb checks, i bet 350 into 475, fold, loose fish calls, sb folds, turn is 8s, we have 2k effective and pot is 1175

when i get crushed in poker i feel like i don't belong in life

i folded bottom set in what would have been the winner in an 8k pot

lost 4k pot all in on flop AK vs A5o on A93 board. he binked a 5

few hands later lose a 7k pot. i flop a set and he has top pair. all in on flop. he hits runner runner straight

How much have you lost or won this year?

about Tree(3) fiddy

Hand from 5-10 tonight, I start with around $1,900 and open 66 UTG to $35. Probably a bit optimistic. Three callers including the SB with whom I have a lot of history, He is good, maybe a bit too loose and I have been owning him for the last 2 months or so. Not really outplaying him just coolering him in big spots.

The flop is 975 rainbow and the SB donks for $100. I call with third pair and a gutter, because I'm an optimist.

Turn is the 3 bringing a flush draw and giving me a double gutter. I have the 6 . The SB leads for $525 overbetting the pot. I think for a bit and shove for $1,260 more.

AhKx?

Edit: I mean I don't play poker so yeah

His line is super strong and I'd expect him to usually have a hand that will call your shove. Good players aren't donkbetting air into three players on a 975 flop, and the only plausible semi-bluffs are hands like 98 and 88 which play better as a check-call than a three barrel bluff (which is what he's setting up).

Blockers!

He called after talking to himself for a minute or so. River was K and MHWG. He flashed his cards to his neighbor and I saw that he had hearts no paint so probably T8.

So yeah blockers.

His line makes sense to me since he probably assumes I'm a bit tight even moreso at 5-10 than 2 - 5. He likely assumed I was capped at an overpair and wouldn't want to stack off with one pair.

But his flop betting range doesn't have air in it because there are two other players in the pot who will very frequently have something on this board. And on this flop there are a lot more combos of made hands (straight, set, two pair) that he can have than draws. And if he's correct about you being capped at one pair here then that's a pretty big leak on your part -- and if you actually are balanced in this spot then you don't need to worry about folding the bottom of your range. And then there's the fact that you were only a small favorite even when you did happen to catch him bluffing.

when i went to bed i was kind of thinking this hand was going to end with you winning like that

well played!

anyway, i think fold flop is clearly best but if you want to punt around a bit this is a reasonable hand to do it

Well he's wrong about me being capped or I'm wrong that he thinks I'm capped, since I opened 66 which means I have to have sets of 7s and 9s in my range. I'm also opening 67s + so I have pair plus straight draws. UTG at 5 - 10 I'm not opening 68 so I can't have the nuts on the flop.

Folding the flop is probably right. When he overheat the turn, on what I think is a great card for an overbet, I felt he was bluffing too much, with that particular sizing but in any case it puts me in a tough spot since even if I improve on the river I can still be beat.

Thinking that he has too many bluffs but having a hand that will be hard to call with on over 80% of the rivers I shoved hoping to get folds from some of his weaker hands or bluffs. Probably not a good play but it worked out.

that's hhs? really?

maybe you want to tell us about stack sizes, structure, etc., .. even if you don't want to talk about the villains?

or maybe filthy's advice is universally applicable.

6th and 5th hands of the game, 50k stacks, the only player I had IDed for reads went broke on hand 4 with NPND

sorry for the somewhat-aggro-tone. prolly not a pog-family-thing. I really shouldn't post here.

gl with the advice-getting thing

Really crazy happening. I had a winning session.



No really. High hand promotion - every 15 minutes. Guy next to me gets quad 2s. 5 minutes later, someone at another table gets quad 4s. 5 minutes later, guy next to me that got beat out hits quad kings to scoop the high hand.

i've been crushing pretty hard for a while now.

here was a fun one

flop(80) 866r

bb bets 660 with 450 behind
i shove
he tanks. he calls.


i have....



i win

lol

Sick call on the turn.

Chip equity question at small $20 home tournament I went to.

Down to three.

1st: $200
2nd: $106
3rd: $0

Me: ~80k in chips
Player to left: ~75k in chips
Player to right: ~55k in chips

Skill of players is probably Left > Right = Me

Also there's a high hand thing going, which I have at the moment with kings full of tens.

3 way chop for $102 each is discussed. I would get that, plus the $45 high hand.

Do it?

Not even close

Try this equity deal calculator.

I think the 113, 108, 85 it gives seems reasonable.

Had one of the goat hands I've ever seen tonight, I'm not involved.

We get to the flop of 9h7d4h and guy bets 150 into 250, next guy raises to 700, first guy thinks a long time and calls, turn is 6h, first guy check next guy pots it right away for 1650, tank call again, they have like 2500 behind, River 6d, first guy goes all in, second guy more or less snap calls, first guy shows a77h8h. Next guy shows t966 no hearts.
