Okay, here we go...I call pre-flop, hoping that someone will raise so I can re-raise them in a show that I am strong.

Play K533 utg *hoping* to get a lot of chips in the pot out-of-position against a player showing strength? Sounds good so far.

Re: NLO8/b Game, Bottom Trips
 

Yeah. I play poker like I screw - aggressively and some people think it's weird, but I end up doing good in the end.

Indeed, I did. Great job. Your IQ has been boosted by one point.

You're still stupid. Until you learn to fold K533 preflop in any position let alone under the gun it is completely pointless telling you anything else about the game since you can't understand the simple concept of not playing trash hands.

This post is either a joke or it needs to be stickied and titled "How not to play NL O8/b"

Re: NLO8/b Game, Bottom Trips
 

Did anyone state his hand was trash pre-flop?

Re: NLO8/b Game, Bottom Trips
 

You did not make trips. You had a set. Trips means the board is paired. A set is 3-of-a-kind made from pocket pair.

This is funny, because I was thinking something similar... I play poker like I screw - jam all-in every hand w/out any consideration for the opponent, and end up quickly busting out and feeling ashamed.

This thread is hurting my eyes.

Please Re-post hand history
 

I agree with a former post that asked for more details in this hand. I do not know the blinds, or the size of the stacks. Until I see them, I think this was a "play" money hand. Not to demean you but please add details to make this a more serious post.

What do you do here? I was playing at a table where people would play almost any hand, and and no one was hitting trips.

Bottom set on this flop is an insta fold to any bet. The lows are freerolling you let alone "established" high hands. You are fighting uphill against other sets also. Fighting for half the pot is a quick way to lose a lot.
