I need to be punished

[sng-sam]

I've decided that everytime I make a donkey play I'm going to subject myself to public ridicule so I will be disuaded from ever doing it again. So in that spirit please evicerate me without mercy

Could you keep all these plays in one thread?

If you keep playing like that, we could try to have the longest thread ever. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Edit: Did you win the pot?

I think this is call or push preflop. Raise to 270 ruins your stack and costs you FE.

You bet 270 on that flop? LOL. And I thought I play bad at times.

Can you please put your real nick instead of hero so I can look for you? Do you play the 55's?

How's that?

That is pretty awful. A 16bb stack isn't decimated. There is no reason to push a 26bb stack in over a 3bb raise. I guess if you play absolutely awful postflop and will go broke on an ace high flop pushing is good, but you are missing out on a lot of chips you would get from people who will call your reraise but fold to the flop bet. You think that it increases your fold equity, but it really doesn't. You miss huge amounts of chips from somebody who will see a flop with 88 but fold to a flop push. This is beneficial when you have AK and the flop comes J9x, the 88 might have called your push preflop, but will fold to the flop push. You also get their preflop call back in your stack. Sometimes it will backfire, but the times it doesn't your stack will increase greatly.

you dont play many 22s. ive seen KJ call a push for 20x in a spot like this.. and NO ONE in the 22s folds a pair of tens here. in 10s and 20s i love a shove, anywhere else i call. holla

[Gar Pike]

and after you learn to check-fold QQ to an A-high flop, learn to spell eviscerate and dissuade. Nothing sets me off more than pseudo-intellectual vocabulary misspelled.

Had enough?

PS
As long as you're in public penance mode, how do you think you should have played this differently? What did this valuable lesson teach you?

Good Stuff!

Thanks.. I'm better now.
