Re: a loopy logy little hand
"I was sedating my opponents."
i need a little more than that to really understand what still appears to me be by far a much less optimal choice than betting. can you give us more please? |

Re: a loopy logy little hand
I had never answered your posts cause they're all from live play that i don't play much and so i can't make good choices too often there. But i can't sigh for now.
My opinion is - your line is terrible here regardless known range of opponents who play TH, regardless meta-game purposes, and regardless differences between live or online play. Bet the [censored] flop. In online play i would routinely 3-bet this flop and if capped - quite probably c/r non A turn if 1 of them folded to a bet on turn. If no one folds flop or i face 2 bets to call cold i consider occasional calling to raise/c-r turn or rarely river if HU on turn. |

Re: a loopy logy little hand
Rus, you are trying to explain how to play "good" poker.. That isn't what Tommy Does. Frankly, unless these posts are complete joke, i feel like flying out to play in this game b/c of Tommy.. just to see if these posts are actually how he plays, etc.

Re: a loopy logy little hand
Looks to me like they're already sedated. Time to wake them up a little, no?

Re: a loopy logy little hand
Let me take a stab at your thoughts:
Flop: This is not really a scary board for any hands, and although no1 is going to fold a pocket pair, and possibly not any two cards, you decided to play your pocket kings as if you had overcards. This allows people to give you more action on later streets by putting doubt into their minds as to the strength of your hand. It might induce excessive action from somebody who hits a jack or something on the turn. It also allows for a nice checkraise if the button decides to bet. Your kings are only vulnerable to one overcard and there are no other draws. Since people are going to call with an ace high hand anyway, you cannot protect against an ace falling on the turn by betting, you can only valuebet against these hands at the time. If the ace does hit, you likely can get away from your hand cheaply depending on the action, but your opponents have an equally likely chance of pairing their kicker and giving you some action on that. The small bets lost from hands that would have called drawing slim to dead is perhaps made up from all of this. Turn: That was pretty much a blank, no reason to scare everybody off now with a raise while they are drawing slim to dead to hands that will pay you off if they hit something. Also, you get to threebet and trap BB if button decides to raise here. This play is also consistent with the overcards deception. River: Okay, clearly we bet here and hope somebody calls. It should be an easy call with any pair, as your opponents should still be suspicious that you have overcards. Button must have figured that it was more likely that BB would overcall than it was that you would pay him off if he raised. Either that or he was afraid you had 99. So how far off was I? |

Re: a loopy logy little hand
Forgot to add this to my flop analysis: if you bet you
also run the risk of somebody folding a hand without an ace in it, which would be a terrible thing for you. |

Re: a loopy logy little hand
are you sure you weren't the button in this hand?
I have to imagine everyone else raises the river with quads |

There still must be a typo, how does he just call on the end with the pure nuts?
