LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

Just happened.

The guy tells me I play like Sh%t 30 seconds before this hand.

Look at the stack sizes, haha.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

BB (t740)
UTG (t2820)
Hero (t4000)
SB (t440)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t400, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t4000 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls t2420 (All-In).

Flop: (t7420) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

He showed AJo.

Yo, if you are going to be making posts like this at least make them legitimate. This call was bad, but I have seen a lot worse.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

Er, he called you with a dominating hand - real bad decision. If this is the worst call you've seen, you haven't been watching very closely. He thought he'd riled you, he was right, this post proves it.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

You got pwn3d hard.

Plus: When i saw the title I only opened th ethread to see how FAR this would be from the worst call I have seen, then noted in was preflop... nodded.. then (to my surprise) noted the caller was in fact a dominationg favorite in the hand. Man you must play with some world class players if this is the biggest mistake of a call youve seen

P.S. Your push is terrible. yes, terrible.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

Damn dude I was expecting 52o or something. It is bad but no way it could be the worst in 3000+ sngs. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

I just mean in terms of stack sizes, not hand strength. Don't worry, I still snuck in a 3rd place finish. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

Dude. I've had people call my bet on the river with 10 high. On the RIVER. With no more cards to come. He CALLED, not raised.

I like my push there, those 2 small stacks were folding like there is no tomorrow.

Actually the call was awful. I mean horrible, stuff, horrible.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

Had a guy call my 11xBB push with 86s yesterday.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

Reminds me of that time I was watching Zee in the Party Miliion final table. Guy called Zee's push with Q2 or some trash. And that was with tens of thousands of dollars on the line.

Just in case it's not clear, your push is terrible because the guy is obviously a donk. You should only do this against thinking players...

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

True, but even most donks will still be smart enough to fold a non AA/KK hand here.

EDIT, maybe they won't be that tight but, I still like my push here.

Oh, boy. I have to strongly disagree with your first statement. "First or fourth" is a very common attitude even among otherwise decent players.

although winning this hand is a far cry from wrapping up first. at this point in the tourney with those stack sizes, getting ITM should be 1st priority, IMO.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

See my edit, let me put it this way, most donks will fold a hand here that they are limping in the first place.

No, it isn't. This is classic bullying. Two shorties about to bust out, there are lots of players who would call with nothing but AA-KK, many more who wouldn't call with more than AA-JJ, AK.

The call was ridiculously stupid -- it matters not in the least that he ended up being in a dominating position.

However, this is not anything close to the worst call you've seen. If you think it is after 3000+ SnG's, then you haven't been paying close enough attention.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

Can we get some context? Had you been making plays like this for a while?

Well, I don't think it's so clear-cut. Many will try to "trap" against the "bully" with their "monster" AJ... especially if they are pissed at you already... like in this hand. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

And before anyone else writes about how wrong this is... I know it's wrong... I'm explaining how the donk thinks.

I've been called here and been a favorite tons of times, and I've played like 3 SnGs.

Yeah, he "trapped" me. haha, oh well.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

This is a good push....if your opponent is good. If he had been berating you for the way you played before the hand, the push is horrible. Since I'm guessing he thinks you suck for pushing a lot and abusing the bubble. If he doesn't get that, and is trashtalking, he will call with a lot here. Might even spitcall. Horrible call though, but I've witnessed worse.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

This at a $109, please note the blind sizes and stuff.

I had a read on the raiser as an absolutely huge LAG and on the caller to his raise as an absolutely huge fish.. I don't usually overpush like this.

That's gotta be one helluva read. Looks like it might have been.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

I'd played both of them before.. the LAG had some ridiculous stats like 58/38 and the fish 48/3. Appallingly bad.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

OMGOMG what a suckout king you are i can't believe you hit that ace on the river he had a flushdraw AND a pair!!11!one!!

holla

What is this "classic" bullying you speak of?!? It sounds so amazing and magical I wish I knew something about it...


Umm seriously though once you get past the stage in your poker life of making the "right" play that incorrectly assumes a corresponding "correct" play from your opponent you will be a signifigantly better player.

Although I will defend your move, I will say that this move works a lot better when your opponent isn't pissed off at you, which you implied that he was.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

At level 1 I made a 6BB raise with KK and some guy from MP calls. Flop comes something like 10-2-5 rainbow. I go all in for my whole stack (700) he calls with his stack of same amount. I turn over KK he turns over A8o and ofc hits a backdoor wheel.

Re: LC: No doubt the WORST call I have seen in 3000+ SnGs
 

If you'd been pushing every hand, I might have called with this. [edit: I meant this is response to OP]

Absolutely horrible, even if he's pushing any two you should fold this.

Actually, I wouldn't have been faced with a call because I would have pushed the A-J to begin with.

Maybe I suck.
