Sickest bad beat of the month most likely:

Even though he had 2 outs, his range which I thought was almost certainly a flush draw probably has just a small fraction of 1 out!

    A lucky escape vs a 90/50/70(!!) super whale who shoves every flop he hits, and is currently on 850BB stack! (I have since topped up to 250BB)

      I've got balls.
      12-19-2013 , 03:46 PM
      sure is a ballsy move there calling with top of your range
      12-19-2013 , 03:59 PM
      if that's your top range then you're doin smthin really wrong.
      12-19-2013 , 04:15 PM
      At first I just thought you had a pair and thought you owned him super hard.
      12-19-2013 , 04:31 PM
      Meh it's obv nothing special, im just super excited that i seem to be gettin out of my downer finally!
      Also brick's comments are always lolgood
      12-19-2013 , 06:12 PM
      I quite often don't understand Brick's hh's when i see them, like i don't really understand the thought behind potting the turn here.
      12-19-2013 , 06:30 PM
      He expects me to have quite a few of Ax hands and in comparison to flushes i've got - Ax is the vast majority of hands esp when he's holding Ad which diminshes the possible flushes I could have by a huge amount. So yeh, potting the turn to set up a river shove and fold out them straights.
      Splitting the pot/winning small pot isnt satisfying enough to everyone. Probs myself included

      My personal favourite Brick hand:

        only a flush is better and assuming you want to c/r some fd's otf i think 66 is pretty much top range, especially when hes the type of player who would try to make you fold Ax (which is way more in your range than 6x or flushes)
        12-19-2013 , 07:17 PM
        Im sorry but I find raising any flush draw on that flop pretty hilarious. Im trying to not be all-judgy so maybe you could explain why'd you want to do that?
        12-19-2013 , 07:49 PM
        i think having some fd's in your c/r range is very nice and some are pretty good for c/ring imo, not all tho

        also not trying to judgy i just think its very good ranges-wise
        12-19-2013 , 08:00 PM
        We've got just about 0 value hands due to pre-flop action. Vs Brick we're obv 3beting a healthy amount and that includes at least as low as QQ+. Going further - due to his post-flop aggression we can't really flat as low as 4s pre-flop, 6s is probably the lowest PP Im ever flatting there and even then Im not sure, maybe I should be going 7s+ even.
        So when we c/r and cant represent a single value hand, what's really the point in c/raising at all? He could literally ship his entire range and we'd be forced to c/r/f 100% of the time.
        12-19-2013 , 08:32 PM
        And you could counter adjust by c/r-calling all PP and big diamonds. You could also profitably set mine 22-44 against a guy like that.
        12-19-2013 , 08:36 PM
        i dont see the reason the fold small pp's preflop to be honest with you and perhaps our preflop calling ranges differ too much but i certainly would have value hands in my c/r range

        His range has at least 18 combos more of strongest PPs (possibly more cause Jacks are a pretty attractive 3bet pre-flop too) as well as all combos of 3 sets and even 2 strongest flushdraws (both AQdd and AKdd become a pre-flop 3bet).
        Set mining vs anyone half-decent in these positions is suicidal and despite him being over aggressive spewtard I must admit he's still a very solid player.
        I mean obviously I was giving an extreme example but simply put my range cant stand the heat of him 3betting over my c/raise when I can't have a single value hand in my range.

        How do you plan on playing any of those PPs unless you hit a set? His range isnt 14% against which we'd have some implied odds. We're talking about a 20% (if not higher) that isn't as easy to stack once you hit.

        so when he 3bets over your c/r how unbalanced is that range? if you c/r only air he must call their with strong hands so his postflop 3bets are garbage > c/r & then shoving fd's seems good in this scenario esp cus some are combodraw
