There\'s a third time for everything
I mucked KK preflop for the third time. Lucky Chances $20-40 NLHE. Sometimes at 10am it's like reading and coffee and shoptalk hour. Other times, it is kazZAM out of the gate and they're off and it's make it 200 call call call, flop comes check, check, bet 800, call 800, checkraise all in 3000 fold, call, shityougotme ... CHIPS!!
It didn't slow down much. It was that kind of line up. Hours later, everyone had danced but me. But I was totally fine just watching. I had picked up some smallerish pots here and there, and I felt involved, but I really didn't care if I ever played a hand deep. This was the funnest I'd ever had just watching players play. So here comes pocket kings. My stack was 3K. I was UTG and I limped for $40. It was folded to one of the three main raisers. He made it $200. His stack was 4K. Folded to the button, who was also one of the raisers. He went all in for 3K. The blinds folded. And I'm like. I looked at the guy who had made it $200, and it was sort of like he gave me one of these "If you call I'll call" look deals. I don't know what I was thinking about. There was way too many cards to come for me to be just sticking my whole stack out there without the okeedokes. Maybe it was inertia. Or maybe it's a style thing. I'm not going to *CALL* three thousand out of nowhere into a nothing pot without the nuts. I'm just not. Besides, I can still get good ROI on these chips later on if I just keep my head. Nobody is going anywhere. ssshhhhfft The 200 guy hemhawed and folded face up, QJ suited. He WAS going to call if I called! The winner didn't show. |

Re: There\'s a third time for everything
Wow, I almost can't beleive what I am reading. You have to now some one pretty well to lay down kk preflop. Either there is more to the story. Or tommy made one of the worst folds of his poker playing life!
If Im in that situation(me having AA) I make 800 to go, and then baring some kind of disaster flop I push on the flop. This is assuming the game is rammin and jammin like tommy says. |

I'm tempted to write a Tommy post for my next hand. I think he just likes writing and doesn't care what people say about his play.

I'm not going to *CALL* three thousand out of nowhere into a nothing pot without the nuts. [/ QUOTE ] The pot is $3300, far from nothing. If you haven't seen this main raiser go all-in for a huge amount preflop with AA then you have to make this call. This looks more like a smaller pocket pair and most likely AK type hand. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah that it what it looks like but I have been completely pimp slapped by this same play when a guy moves all in p flop. Both times it's happened to me at the 2k games on party and both times the guy had Aces. Without a really good read i think it's an easy fold |
