reality check

Y'all

I'm about 10 days into 2+2. Wanted to let everyone know that I'll be retiring my username and re-registering to cleanse myself of some breathtakingly clueless posts.

Here's the money...

Re: Should I be folding KK?

Hasn't the poster telegraphed his high pair with his first two bets? Villain is re-raising against a high pair; it seems that, if he were building value for a straight draw, he would call instead of...

boredom

Given the predominantly loose, meaningless, caller-station type play at the micro-limits, a lot of what goes on is just waiting for a good starting hand and collecting from the fish. I understand...

Needing 11:1 you can usually make this call with most inside straights.

Ace on the flop is more likely to show up if your opponent has KK, than a K.

Good point. An A or K on the board actually identifies villain's pair somewhat.

Re: A-high flush w trips on board

And only rarely at that. Both instances, if I remember right, involved low cards as the 4th and 5th cards. Lost to JJ & KK, neither of which I remember showing strength pre-flop.

Re: A-high flush w trips on board

Thanks guys. You pretty much hit everything I was thinking about. What concerned me was that it was such an obvious bluffing opportunity for my opponent. I believe I was raising both times, which...

Re: Not a very good play

Also, given what I have said above, the cards Stew had to worry about on the flop were danger cards, not his opponent's actual outs. So he has 5 cards to worry about (all available A/K's), not just...

Re: Not a very good play

Actually I was basing my analysis on Stew's familiarity with the table and his feel that exactly one of the other A/K's was accounted for. Stew has been insisting that the pure chance of villian...

A-high flush w trips on board

Got beat twice today holding A-high flush, trips on board. Pocket pair made boat both times.

Do you automatically fold in this situation where opponent shoes strength?

Very simple definition: An unforeseeable result which couldn't have been avoided by better play.

Bodhi I disagree with you on both counts.

True, looking for a precise technical definition of the term is ridiculous, but sometimes it's used incorrectly. When someone bitches about his kings...

Re: What is a bad beat, really?

It's getting beat by a play that you legitimately had no reason to anticipate.

If you hold KK and go all in pre-flop, and get beat by a QQ w Q on the river, that's not a bad beat. Your...
