3 hands, NO CONTENT

This was fun. I sit down at the table while my kids are eating supper, and get the following three hands:

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Hero checks, UTG bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 11.25 BB

Villan flips AK, we split the pot. The two idiots that folded on the turn start screaming about what an idiot I am to call down when he's clearly got an ace. I remain silent.

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 3 folds, MP3 calls, 2 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, UTG calls, MP3 calls.

Flop: (7 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls, MP3 folds.

Hero bets, UTG calls.

River: (6.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 8.50 BB

UTG doesn't show J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], and I hear a smattering of, "Lucksack!" More silence from me.

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG posts a blind of $0.5.
2 folds, MP2 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, MP2 folds, Hero raises, BB calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls.

River: (9.75 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB calls.

Final Pot: 13.75 BB

The coup de grace. BB (UTG from last hand) didn't show A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for two pair, and says, "OMG. How lucky can you be?" I decide to not push my luck and leave the table, so I say, "Really lucky, I guess. It's not every day that I run into somebody stupid enough to call raises and bet back into me 4 times in a row with second pair." I heard his teeth crack as he ground them together.

3 hands, 429.29BB/100. I didn't even manage to get another table started.

I don't why you're calling the flop on hand 1.

Entity · #3 05-09-2005, 09:49 PM

I think your turn play in #1 sucks. #2 and #3 are fine but I don't get why you A) said anything or B) left the table.

I'm getting 13-1 with overcards, closing the action on a non-coordinated flop. You'd fold?

The smooth call by the preflop raiser would worry me into thinking my outs aren't good.

Flop call is marginal with only overs which easily could be dominated, but I guess you're getting the right price. I would have folded the flop, anyway. Turn call is ridiculous though.

Yeah, I'm not real proud of that, except in a results-oriented kind of way. I did have some past hands on Villan, tho, and felt it was likely he was being aggro with an ace, so my 6 outs to top pair might be good. Laggy old me, I know, but I would have dropped it UI to a river bet.

I chirped because I was leaving, I was leaving because my kids started throwing food at each other. I suppose I also chirped because I was irritated at having to leave to go clean up flung rice.

I would fold on the flop in about a millisecond. If I somehow hit the wrong button and called I would then take my time with the mouse and make sure I folded the turn. You are behind any ace, any king, and drawing to 6 possible outs to win outright where even if you hit one of them, you are possibly behind a higher kicker.

Ian, as I explained to Rob, I did have a read on the guy that made me think he was being aggro with an ace. Second, note the header where it says, "NO CONTENT." This posting was purely for entertainment value, and was not intended to be analyzed.

So, if ridiculing my marginal turn call in the first hand entertains you, then I suppose it has served its purpose. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

This is an advice forum. Post hands and people give you advice. I wasn't ridiculing anything.

Here's some further advice on the hand. Assuming your read was correct and villan had an ace, why doesn't he have AQ or AJ and have you dominated? Also, would villan play KK or QQ or JJ differently than this? One of the other callers could easily have AQ, AJ, KJ, KQ.
