10-20 I played it like crap, but I don't care.

[Clarkmeister]

10-20 Mirage

Guy who could be raising with any 2 open raises in EP in this currently 7 handed game. Unknown "between the SB and button" poster calls, I call in the SB with Ad7d, Fishy straightforward BB calls.

Flop: [As Ac 6s] Poster checks, I am flinging my bet out and BB has 2 chips already in front of him. When informed that I hadn't acted and that I bet, he tried to raise, but the dealer wouldn't let him. Preflop raiser bails and poster calls. 3 to the turn for 5.5BBs.

Turn: [As Ac 6s] Qs. Poster checks, I bet, BB raises all in to $35, Poster makes it $55, I call $35 more in the $210 pot because...well...because I've got an ace dammit and I'm not folding. I fling my chips out and root for a queen.



I get an ace.



And suddenly I don't care how I played it poorly on every street against BB's 66 and SB's flush. And you know what...I still don't. I got 4 freaking aces. Ship it.

clarkmeister,

I wouldn't care either. You are the one stacking the chips.

One thing I don't understand. You said, "I call in the SB with Ad7d", but you also said, " I played it poorly on every street against BB's 66 and SB's flush". I thought you were the SB??

You didn't play it poorly on every street. You could have checked-raised the flop but with this flop why would you? The turn bet is one that is questionable leaving you open to a checkraise or re-raise from somewhere. Which happend. The river, well you have the nuts how can you mess this up? So I don't think it is a bad as you think it is.

By SB in that sentence, I meant the poster. Sorry bout that. [img]/forums/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]

"Ship it!" is right. Ev doesn't pay the bills - 4 Aces does.

Or better yet, tell them what I told my friend when he got it all in, in the last hand of a NL tourney with 56s against my 8-2 on the 874 flop - and I runnered home a boat. "I don't know what you got, but I have a full house! Ship it!"

Clarkmeister, you really need a refresher course on what "playing like crap" is. Granted, you had to figure you were drawing to at best 3 outs (BB probably has the case ace), at worst 2 for a split pot. So you made a bad call. That's a 2 BB mistake. 3 if you count the initial turn bet. It's not a mistake that cost you an entire pot...

I've provided a good example of "playing like crap" below. It's from a post on the pot-/no-limit board from a couple weeks ago, by FMajcinek.


Ultimatebet, no-limit, .25-.50 blinds. $50 max buy-in.

I find A [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img] in the BB. Happily, there are a 4 limpers, no raises. I pop my BB for 3.00. Two limpers fold, two others flat-call. (Both callers are weak/passive tend to call nearly ANY bet short of all-in once they have invested money in the pot, so I'm not terribly worried.)

Flop: 4 [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img]

With little or no read on my opponents I bet it out for 5.00 (just under half the pot) certain that a) If they don't have a nine or a four they will fold, b) if they do have a 9 or a four they will raise right there and let me release the hand and c) if they have an over-pair they will flat-call, thus giving me more than enough implied odds to draw.

So they both called.

Turn: 4 [img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img]

Everybody checks.

River: 4 [img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img]

I double-check the board to make sure that I'm seeing quads. I double check my hole cards to make sure that I have the ace. I've never actually been in this situation before so I bet $5 again just to see what every body else does.

Well, the fellow on my left re-raised ALL-IN (about $45). The guy on the button folds, but SHOWS an AJ.

Now totally confused, I call the guy. He flips a QJ and I win a $100+ pot.

When I asked AJ why he folded he said:

"i think he trap me."

When I asked him to clarify that statement he said:

"i think he have a nine."

I didn't bother to tell him that quads-and-a-pair isn't a legitimate poker hand.

When I asked the guy why he bet EVERY CENT HE HAD ON THE TABLE with a QJ he said:

"I was making a move."

And also refused to clarify.

I had to sit out the next ten hands I was laughing so hard.

Clark, you played it like CRAP! [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Tell me you got at least one call on the river and it'll make my day. Hope the action is good for you guys this weekend.

Ni han.

Rusty, you cant fold show while there is still action pending.


Clarkmeister, do you usually call early position raises with Axs? Or was this an unusual situation?

That's quite a bit of "fling fling" you got goin' on there.
