I could only win a pot this big at InterPoker (low content)
Hi
I just had to share this enormous pot I won thanks to the unlimited raises possible in heads up situations at InterPoker. Button was very loose and aggressive post flop. My final turn call was probably a bit weak, but he could easily have had A5 or 65. When the river paired the board I was certain I was winning. Surely he could'nt have 22. I kept picturing this hand in my head but I was determined to keep on raising. I wonder what the button held, A5D seems the only logical hand but I suspect he could have had a much weaker hand than this. This is by far the biggest pot I have ever won as my normal maximum limit is $1-$2. I am only playing $2-$4 (I have sufficient bankroll) to enable me to clear the new bonus requirements at InterPoker. Must say I do not find the $2-$4 tables any tougher than the $1- $2 tables. Has anyone else won a huge pot thanks to Inter Pokers unlimited raises? -HAND 6------ Game #699133764: Texas Hold'em Limit ($2/$4) - 2005/07/21 - 18:46:04 (ET) Table "Magnolia" Seat 2 is the button.

no offense, but you lose this pot more often than you win it

What a fantastic insight based on your intricate knowledge of the opponent.

I should have pointed out that button was losing about 70% of his showdowns. He would call on rubbish and raise with marginal hands. Obviously he had made a very good hand by the turn, but I figured I was winning this hand way more often than I was losing it.

Your post is a fine example of weak-tight thinking.
I've played in many games where it wasn't at all uncommon to go 6 bets on the turn and another 8 on the river, with neither party having the nuts. If the opponent is a rock, he can safely stop earlier, but if his opponent is a gambler, he should be prepared to play a very large pot. |

I once raised 55 preflop and the flop was 5-Q-A with two clubs. Lot's of 3 way action on the flop. Turn was another club. Lot's of 3-way action with the third party dropping out at the 3rd bet and me not capping the third bet but calling (chicken me!). River was a 5! I hover over the raise button to get in the auto click mode. Click, click, click, ???? - button vanishes!!!
I forgot to monitor my stack! I just could get 3.5 bets in and was down to 0! Villain had the nut full house and thought I had the nut flush! He had 25 BB left. Me: Damn! Him: You could have become rich here! |
