Re: Well %&*(^, what to do now?
 

Rake was not capped yet.

I wonder if a bet hoping the guy is dumb enough to fold is worth it in the thousands of times this happens to me every month.

I bet and he called and he had KK

Re: Well %&*(^, what to do now?
 

since there aren't really any party skins anymore... which one are you playing at, out of curiousity, and why? still fishy? still a sweet rakeback deal?

Re: Well %&*(^, what to do now?
 

I'd checkraise the turn. Most people will call the turn bet w/PPs and you also make him pay for his 2 outter. Theres no guarantee he'll call your river bet.

The way you played it is fine though, and you just got unlucky. There is nothing wrong w/the line you took and it is definatly a reasonable alternative

Re: Well %&*(^, what to do now?
 

I like the bet.

Yes, obviously, it's a chop unless there's a fifth 3 in the deck. But the few cents of lost rake by a needless bet/call are inconsequential. And if Villain does fold, it's a Hand for the Ages. It goes into the Poker Hall of Fame.

At low limits, I'm in favor of one or two sub-optimal plays/10,000 hands for sheer entertainment value. This one definitely passes the test.

Party Skin. 2 retardos at table but not involved in this hand. Opponent is decent but a little weak. General table is loose agressive (due to 1 retardo maniac)

I limp with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in EP. 1 limper and villain raises in LMP. Folded to me and I call and other limper calls.

Flop A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Ok WAWB scenario. Limper clears out and I ck call.

Turn 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Glorius turn card. I ck call planning to lead any river card.

River 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Except that card.

What is your play?

You are right. Not a Party skin anymore.

I play at Euro. Honestly my win rate has remained the same. You do have to be willing to play 6 max though as full tables are dead at 1/2, 3/6 and 5/10

Its kind of interesting being the only American at a table also.

Why not lead this flop and turn? I don't get it. I think that's really where you made your biggest mistake.

Way ahead way behind scenario. If you are ahead you don't want to scare him off and if behind you lose the least amount possible on a hand you really need to show down.

Seen this a couple times here. If you aren't playing AXs in any position in a loose game you are missing out on profit.

Re: Well %&*(^, what to do now?
 

Those advocating folding: At a typical 5/10 table, which suited aces do you play in EP?

Re: Well %&*(^, what to do now?
 

Why are u c/c the turn? You're no longer WA/WB, but WA/ tied/ very rarely way behind.

As for the river, who cares? c/r him just to piss him off.
