So tempted (LC)

[DrPublo]

Don't have the HH in front of me. 200 NL, first orbit but the CO is a whiny bitch and can't stop complaining about everyone else's bad play. I really want to break him.

I'm on the button with T /images/graemlins/heart.gifJ /images/graemlins/heart.gif.

CO limps, I limp, blinds complete/check.

Flop ($8): 7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif9 /images/graemlins/club.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Amazing. Check to me, I bet $8. BB calls, CO calls.

Turn ($24): [7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif9 /images/graemlins/club.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif] 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

BB checks, CO pushes for about $160.

Tempted just to break him!

I fold, BB folds.

So disappointing.

He has some of your outs. But you should call anyways, because it's more fun.

[swolfe]

raise preflop?

Meh. Not always, and definitely not first orbit at the table. Usually I'll lay low for a few orbits before turning up the heat. Also I didn't want the CO to reraise out of spite.

what a donktastic push. These huge overbets are so freaking lame. I do love picking their dumbass overbet off later on though. I had a guy open push a flop for about 100 into a 7 high flop when I made a set of 2's. Pot was probably 4 bucks...he open pushes for 100 and I of course call with my set. He had unimproved AK. He'd pulled this stunt a bunch of times, and I knew that he was going to do it one time when it was going to cost him.

i've gotten burned by the donk push before.

I raise with 23 on CO, bb calls.

flop comes 3 3 Q. he pushes, I call.

he flips QQ

[djoyce003]

laugh, I feel your pain there.

[TheWorstPlayer]

It didn't burn you. You would have lost your stack no matter what line he took.

[amoeba]

I don't know, I might have put him on 3 with better kicker at some point.

but yeah, I would have lost half my stack at least regardless of his line.

[TheWorstPlayer]

43 is less likely than QQ, no?

[amoeba]

well this guy calls a lot with AX. so I was thinking A3.

fair enough. whatever. it just sucked. sorry, man. just shows that these overbets are always the nuts. or unimproved AK.

[amoeba]

hehe yeah.

I find that river overbets are almost always the nuts though.

[TheWorstPlayer]

agreed. i always laugh when it's HU and the flop is 88T and the action goes check, check, check, check, push $100 into $2 pot. Um... ok. I fold unless I can beat your 8.

[djoyce003]

actually the guys that tend to do this won't always have the nuts...they'll just think they do....it might be nut flush but you've got a full house, or it could be the band end of a straight....sooner or later you can pick them off if they are doing this with frequency...if it's just someone that does it every once in a while, then yeah its the nuts.

[amoeba]

yes you are right.

what I meant was that its almost always a hand that beats TPTK or overpair.
