Default Ha!

.5/1 coming to the end of my session getting too tired and around $300 up.

I see A Ko in the SB ($130).

Fold to MP ($400) who limps, another one too, button ($50) raises $4. I raise to $15 because i know buttons raising standards.

Firstly: I'm wondering who would have overcalled there to keep the others in.

MP now raises to $26 and both of us call.

Pot $80.

Flop: 9 7 6 - two spades.

I check. MP bets $10, button folds, i checkraise $50, he calls.

Turn: 7. Pot $184

I move all in for $70. He calls.

River is a blank, he shows K8o and wont shut up in the chat room about how he made the perfect read.

Bleh, i'd kick him in his balls but they are probably steel.

Even if he did make a perfect read, what hand can he beat at this point? He can't even beat a bluff (as shown).

You played this hand fine though, if you would check-raise in this same spot with an overpair.

Surely if you had A Ko and he had K 8o, you won the pot based on what you mentioned here, so what was his perfect read all about if he lost the pot.

i love players who brag about their great reading skills when they lose money calling to "confirm" their great read. and there are really a surprising number out there who think they're playing great when they lose $70 making the 'correct read', and pat themselves on the back, then do it again next time. these guys make some of the greatest money sources around, especially in PL/NL games.

*feels like the idiot*

I mistyped. He had K6o for bottom pair and took down the pot.

Still think i played it fine? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

When playing against loose opponents, you make money by betting your real hands and getting paid off - and not by bluffing.

I made a post about that about 30 minutes before this hand, i'm an idiot.

He was a new player to the table.
