Was I too nice ? - Page 3

I'm a very social friendly person outside the game when I'm not involved in a hand. It's one of the many things I enjoy and I can maintain my focus while joking it up with Mr. Maniac about hot the cuties over at River Rock are. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But when I'm in the hand, there is no mercy. Poker is not a gentleman's game. I have never had anyone feel sorry for me, nor would I expect it. If you are dumb enough to keep re-raising w/o the nuts on the river, then you deserve to be taught a lesson the hard way.

I personally would have kept raising him. Hes gonna feel bad about losing this big pot no matter what, 1 or 2 more bets wont change that. ANd your not playing for blood, your playing for a little more than a few bucks. UNless this guy has big financial problems, take the extra bets.

Some people may even be insulted by your gesture, as they feel kind of stupid after they keep raising into the nuts and have to be told there beat.

FWIW, the board was AAK64. I had AK and the other guy had AQ. He felt pretty foolish he hadn't even considerred there may be boats out there and said he couldn't get past the fact that he had top set with top kicker. I at first thought we would split, but later figured he had at least one of the other boats. I was pretty shocked by the AQ. Thanks to everyone for the responses.

Nice to see that you care.

Good God, did you get from the Oxygen network?

Of course I care. I hope you are doing well, Dummy.

The answer is simple:

Since you said both of you were reraising, he was after your money. Like the other guy said, crush him...

If you start getting soft on your opponents you will become a weakling. You need to read Sun Tsu, watch some Highlander and grow some balls.

I suppose this could be considered a +EV move if done very rarely to the right person.

There an older gentleman I let off for a river bet to look like a nice guy (i'm not) at the table I regular, since then he’s let me off in a few situations, like raising on puck with AA, I call in BB, just us two, and he’ll say “roll it?” (I held 77 and babies on flop).
