\"Mathematical Catastrophe\"
 

Allow me to demonstrate...

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, CO (poster) checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, <font color="CC3333">MP2 3-bets</font>, CO calls, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (16.50 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, CO calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, <font color="CC3333">MP2 3-bets</font>, CO calls, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: (15.75 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, CO folds, Hero calls, <font color="CC3333">UTG raises</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls, Hero folds.

River: (20.75 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 22.75 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 22.75 BB, between UTG and MP2.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by UTG (22.75 BB).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
UTG shows Js 8c (two pair, jacks and sevens).
MP2 shows Ad 8s (two pair, sevens and fives).
Outcome: UTG wins 22.75 BB. </font>

I did not think this was funny thank you very much. But hey, thats PP 0.5/1. I will never fold again, ever [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Still won 130 BB today. How these people survive in this world I dont know. Theyre morons, but I love them [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

BTW, who limp reraises with two already in ahead of them?

Oh, and you know what you can all do with your "cap PF" comments [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

By and large, it's someone who doesn't have a particularly good hand. Thus... I... uh.. recommend capping preflop. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Ooops [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

What is someone thinking when they do that?

What he said.

Something like this happened to me today, but I didn't fold. I had aces and the turn puts three hearts on the board. Someone raises me, I curse, and call down. He kindly waited until the river to raise his TPNK.

Re: \"Mathematical Catastrophe\"
 

Well, I dont think im folding in that case either. There was a little more going on im my first hand though I think.

They are thinking, "Build big pot. Big pot fun!"

I thought the correct answer was "GAMBOOOOOOOOL!"

Clearly, I have a lot to learn.

Re: \"Mathematical Catastrophe\"
 

Catastrophic? your play?

Cap preflop,
Cap the flop,
Raise the turn - you think one of these morons has a 5??? They are probably going nuts with TPTK which becomes 2 pair on the turn.

Horrible fold, man...
