Another donk hand

[bicyclekick]

43/17/1.5 opens from emp, a 61/45/2 super maniac 3 bets, a 68/4/.26 calls 3, I cap AQo, and we take the way 4 ways for 4 bets each.

Flop A74r, emp bets, maniac raises, mp calls, I 3 bet, emp calls, maniac caps, all call.

Turn 6r
emp checks, maniac bets, mp goes all in for 9 more which opens the betting again I call, emp c/r, maniac 3 bets, hero ?

[radioheadfan]

I'd be puking if I was you. See the river and hope to see a showdown for one or two bets on the river. I can't see not getting to the river in a pot this massive.

EMP probably has AK so look for a Q on the riv. Maniac might have even spiked two pair or something.

Situations like these are why I gave up playing limit.

Cheers.

You gotta call it down. Horrible stuff /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Doesn't this post beling in the Small Stakes forum? When did you start playing 1/2 again bicyclekick? I'm not sure I've ever played in a 15/30 game this donkish, but hope you made it up later.

[The Dude]

emp is NLsoiler, super maniac is Schneids, and other guy is the infamous Praying Mantis?

[That guy]

this hand brings back chills (downswing alert)... anybody with a 60+ VP is twice as likely to outdraw me as a normal player, just a rule.

[gonores]

The praying mantis is never the "other guy."

Not this time.

This time he actually meant $3/6. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

The limit this hand was played at is completely irrelevent.

i would never tell bk not to play 300/600. but "he went all in for 9 more." to me means that its 3/6 because you need 1/2 a big bet to open up the betting again. and if the limit is irrelavent, why not say "he went all in for another 1/2 a bet opening up the betting."

-Barron

PS- i still think against this maniac and other crazy you need to see a showdown. and maybe not cap preflop...

[Subfallen]

'Cuz some cool and sexy people just say 1/2 instead of 100/200, 3/6 instead of 300/600, and "9 more" instead of "900 more." Those people are cool. Sexy too.

and for the record, if its 3/6 or 300/600 bk should see the showdown.

maniacs do wierd stuff...unless they are true thinking maniacs in which case this is a fold but i highly doubt bk should not be seeins a sd...

just get there.

Not on crypto. Doesn't matter how much you raise, if you raise 1 dollar it opens the betting no matter the limit. I don't mean to be ellusive about the limit - it was at 50/100, I just don't think it was relevant. What's relevant was all the donks and donks are donks no matter the limit.

And yes I usually refer to 100/200 as 1/2 and 300/600 as 3/6...just cause everyone knows what i'm talking about and it takes a lot less typing for us lazy folks.

interesting rule they have there....haven't encountered it yet...

in any case...a donk is a donk is a donk right?

the pot is big enough to call down and see the river for hopefully 2 more bets.

there are enough possibilities here that you're still ahead and the pot is growing ever larger...get there.

hope it worked out for ya.

the shorthand does seem to imply some sort of first-name-basis relationship with the games, which seems out of place given that everybody seems to play hit and run 'sessions' of like 30 hands. i think it would sound cavalier even for regular players though.

where are the 300/600 games? i know ub has it heads up. interpoker has euro 150/300 but it doesn't seem to go that often and the exchange rate is around 1.3. the biggest limit game i know of in terms of pots is the ub 150/300 because it seems to be very popular lately, possibly usurping players from the 25-50nl. strangely the 50-100nl didn't seem to fly there, but the 100-200nl on the gaming club goes.

anyway i would enjoy watching 300/600 limit at work or whatever and find another hidden high limit site.

People with stats like that play 50/100? wow, I thought that was an exceptional game for 15/30 let alone 50/100.

The problem with calling the 3 bet is what do you do if the river comes to you bet and raised as well? If you would fold for 2 on the river if flush doesn't come I'd fold here. If you'd call I'd call.

Right. I only talk about them in the short-hand to those on AIM who know what i'm talking about. For instance, I'll say to james282 "super fish 3/6 gogoogg" and he'll know what i'm talkin about. I also know most of the regulars in the game (not like KNOW them, but know they play well from playing/watching tehm etc)

We're refering to 150/300pound (and the exchange rate is ~.53) which is close enough to 300/600 for me (it's really like 282/565 if you want to get technical)...but it's so much easier to think of it as 3/6.

The 3/6 is almost always going about 4 handed on crypto with v solid players. Almost every day the game gets full for a bit too. Good players though.

THe reason we hit and run every once in awhile is cause the game is only 'good' for that long. I played a 6 hand session last night...cause I didn't feel I had enough of an edge. It's all about $$$. I have no misconceptions that I am good enough to play solely with the regulars at taht game. I don't thnik they have enoguh on me when a super fish shows up for it to not still be extremely profitable for me, though.

I'm gonna check out those UB games a little more.

oh, POUNDS. i thought that interpoker used euros. my error.

when i go to http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html (which claims rates current as of march 29/30) it says 150 euros is $194. who is doing the exchange? interpoker? neteller? i don't know where the "official" source of currency exchange rates is, but all the ones i'm running into via google are at 1.29.

[/ QUOTE ]

We're not talking Euro's. There is no 150/300 euro game. It's 150/300 pounds. Interpoker is doing the exchange. It fluctuates slightly from day to day and I don't knwo where they get their rate. When you leave a table, you automatically get cashed out for the exact rate you cashed in for. They don't charge you a fee or anything. It's also automatically converted when you sit at a table.
