View Full Version : Because I felt like it

Party 3/6 6 max.
I'm chatting with a girl that I'm pretty into about how she wants to hook with with some guy, and since that's not me, I'm not happy. I'm not on tilt, but I'm not focused.
From UTG+1 a guy raises. He's like 40ish/25ish. Wide openning range, but not a ton of hands.
Folded back to me with 96s. I call.
Lovelorn or not, I'm pretty sure I can outplay this guy postflop and I'm not going very far without something good happening.
Do we hate this?

Standard for me... though maybe not at 3/6 due to rake.

Don't hate it. I would hate it more with something off-suite that is a little higher but easily dominated (like KTo, QTo, JTo). I dunno. What pocket pairs would you have called with?

As others mentioned, I don't like this with the rake so high at 3/6.
Also, Dids, keep your pimp hand strong.

You let your desire to 69 with this girl allow you to make a bad call here. It's bad because the pot is small and the rake is high.
Fold preflop. He's not on a steal, your equity is low.

I'm turning this into a play along.
Flop is like 852 or something. (I may have acutally had an OESD, I can't get to PT to remember, but I thought I had a gutshot).
He bets, and I'm like "He likely has overs, I will check raise and he will fold".
So like, I check raise?
(good point on the rake, I suck at remembering to consider that).

Because hitting on some girl in an online poker game has got to be the highest form of lameness and patheticness I have ever heard of.
Furthermore, I havent played 3-6 since I was 12 years old.

the beautiful thing about playing online is you can chat with people on AIM while you are playing. Incredible, huh?

On a computer there are "windows" and in one "window" you can be playing poker, and in the OTHER WINDOW you can be using "instant messenger" software to chat back and forth with other people.
I would never hit on a "girl" at the tables who wasn't named LisaNolan.

Dids, I would probably c/r there if he was an unknown. It does pretty much obligate you to follow through on almost any turn card though. Caveat: I suck at blind defense.

Well, maybe if he stopped jerking around and concentrate on the game, he could move up past a limit with a rake so high that no one on the planet could beat it.

I think you should just call here. The pot is so small and you're cracking the door to not outplaying your opponent with this CR. He may fold something like KQ. I don't think he's going to fold a good Ace here and now (and maybe not the rest of the hand). If you put another bet into the pot after the CR without making your hand in some way you're really spewing I think.

Calling reaks of thinking that I'm drawing to my gutshot, which would be like bad math and stuff. I'm raising because I need him to fold his overs post haste. If he calls, I'm clearly not putting any more bets in the pot without making my hand.

Yeah, he's not folding overs here on the flop. Like never.

My 3/6 exp tells me it's less than often and more than never.
I do agree though, he's not folding often enough to really make it worthwhile unless I follow up on the turn and I want to know the guy better than I did to do that.

You'd have to follow up with a bet on the turn AND river, assuming no broadway or ace hits the board. This is too much of your own money to be investing in order to take down this marginal pot down. ie. spewage.
They're calling the turn with overs, especially at 3/6.

I disagree with this more, but it's not really relevant to the thread.

i would cap every street. folding if he's the one who caps the river of course.

Can someone plz explain this whole "dont call cos of the rake" issue. I dont understand the math and how this affects us at 3/6. What other limits is it an issue and why?
Thanks very much /images/graemlins/smile.gif

The rake is a larger fraction of a BB at 3/6 than at higher limits.
B Dids
10-21-2005, 09:29 PM
Nah- it's more because I've made a ton of money betting turns at 3/6 6 max. People love folding turns in this game, at least given my exp.

Cheers, so therefore we want to get into less HU marginal situations? Im a bit slow with these types of things.
At what level does the rake become less prohibitive, or at what level would the rake not become a factor for this hand?
cheers
I play this and worse everyday of the week in my live 20/40 game, but online 6max I dump because of rake and other stuff to focus on.

No one can beat 3/6? I doubt it's the rake; it's probably because people don't respect raises enough. Without opponents respecting your raises, you can't beat this game.

jealousy trap- she wants a reaction, shes testing the waters.... she wants you to empty your balls in her.
chicks do this [censored] all the time, its their way of seeing if we like them by giving a reaction.
We are so dumb that we usually try and be the nice guy and give good advice, and thats when we become the friend for ever and it can become real hard to break out of that stereotype with her imo. So i think thats what scrub may have been getting at??

It's because people don't respect raises that it is possible to crush this game for so much.
