Re: Possible World Record?
Mike I made a return visit to Ladbrokes, on the recommendation of a mate, after a 6 month+ absence.
I sat down in one of the 'best' 3/6 game I've ever played in. And lost $150 in an hour. You're right. Ladbrokes players suck. I guess that's the high English player quotient, who really suck at (limit) Poker. |

Re: Possible World Record?
So you sucked out on the nuts with a six outer. Man that is a worlds record. I am normally beat by 1 or 2 outers on the river. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Europeans can\'t play limit poker
Oh man it's unbelievable. I watched a 20-40 game there a few months ago, and saw this hand: UTG raised, and 2 players coldcalled. The SB made it 3 bets and the BB called. 5 to the flop for 15 sb. The flop came K T 4 rainbow and both blinds checked. UTG bet and ... EVERYONE folded. I'm not making this up.

Can you please tell me where you're getting these 6 outs? Thanks. |

Re: Possible World Record?
yeah
well mumble as Inthacup points out, it's actually only 4 outs as the cards were dealt so i should apologise to him for my suckout - he was probably expecting me too i guess but it's only a game of luck so what does he want? |

Re: P.S. Why not raise preflop
i have got into the habit of not raising from the bb pre-flop unless i have a giant hand which i am almost definitely going to pursue after the flop
first, if i have something like ATs i want to "hide" its strength with certain flops, and second, almost the opposite, i don't want to announce strength then find myself "having" to bet from up front rather than perhaps make a preferable one-off check-call, if i am given only a fairish flop what would you raise with p/f in the bb? |

Close second, or when to call with Ace high.
so i'm utg+1 and open-raise with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - two callers and bb
flop is 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] - great - a rainbow flop with no cards of any use to anyone - i bet, call, call, call turn is 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - uh-oh - A6s-type danger - i bet, one caller river is J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - thinks: dang - Ace-high - i'll check he bets - oh well - i'll call just in case he's bluffing at a decent pot computer shoves the pot to me and my Ace-flush he says "gh" i say "ty" i run away and hide |
