View Full Version : Screwing around on micro limits--was this stupid?

I've been on a bit of a downswing so I was playing some Bodog $10NL to shore up my confidence. Bodog has no PT compatability so I apologize for the imperfect formating.

No reads except that everyone is terrible. This table will call anything which is why I was so passive.
Note: This is not how I play at higher stakes.

Hero is CO with A /images/graemlins/heart.gif 6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

2 limpers, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop 2 /images/graemlins/club.gif 3 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 10 /images/graemlins/club.gif

Checked to hero, hero checks

Turn 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Checked to hero, hero checks

River 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif

BB checks, MP1 goes all-in, MP2 calls, hero calls

I would NEVER call this at a higher limit because the overcall pretty much guarantees a flush. But I figure that with these players there's a a better than 1/3 chance that they both have a wheel and I win with the 6-high straight. Or one could easily have two pair or even just top pair. Does this sound reasonable or just stupid? I only need to win 1/3 time for this to be profitable.

Results below:
<font color="white">Actually BB has 68 clubs for the flush and rakes a massive (for micro limit) $40 pot. So the other two players had hands I probably beat, barring an unlikely 67. </font>

I havent really played micros at bodog, but at this point, overcalling 2 allins with this straight on a 3-flush board in an unraised pot that jumps to action when the last club hits... what separates you from the rest of the fish?

On bodog, it wouldn't be unusual for pusher to have middle pair or air or the caller to have top pair. I can't explain how bad these people are. A typical hand is limp, flop TPTK, bet pot and get called on all 3 streets, have villain turn over AA.--I'm just saying that based on this ludicrous level of play, I don't think that it's unreasonable to question that I'm against a flush more than 2/3 time. I freely admit this line would be suicidal at 25NL or above. I think you have to gamble more the lower you go because you have none of the normal indicators to tell you where you stand in a hand.
