Part Poker players

Unless he was being sarcastic, I have a lot (well, even more) to learn.

On the bright side at .50/1 Party Poker you do not have to understand the concepts of sarcasm. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

You just described a hand that I played in just the other night, except I didn't make a straight, instead the flop blessed me with a 6 and 3 for two pair, the other person I was against showed me two Aces at the end.

One of the key points for my opponent to consider was the fact that I was in the big blind and had a "free" look at the flop. There was no raise preflop so I can only assume that he was slowplaying his aces. Had there been a raise I would have mucked my trash hand.

I forget exactly how the betting went, at some point I figured my opponent might have a higher two pair (63 isn't exactly the cats meow), plus I'm in a rebuilding phase (that's why I'm in micro limit hell) so I was playing a little weak on this particular hand, although my betting did indicate I had top pair beat, so this should have been a clue.

Anyway I took it down with my low two pair against his pair of aces. I kinda felt for the guy since he was short stacked to begin with, and was probably waiting for those bullets all night. I know what its like to fold hand after hand, get a great hand, only to be smacked by some offsuit trash like my 63 hand.

So in my case I wasn't "intentionally" playing a bad hand, someone "allowed" me to play because they slowplayed their aces.

Sit down at the next 2+2 table. Its filled with good players and is therefore much easier than most Party .5/1 tables filled with people who will call you down with nothing.

Ummm...I find it easier to beat bad players than good players. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So a player of your caliber will actually do better, playing against tight players, than against loose fishies, who are practically unbeatable.

Yeah I agrre with ya it sucks to lose with the "best hand" pre-flop. I've lost more money with A-A than any other hand (records). Just last night I had them cracked all 3 times in a 4 hour session, lost to K-2o, 5-6o, and J6s, bet and raised and re-raised and capped and crushed. Frustrating! But I still have confidence enough to get my money in when I have the best of it! If I lose, hopefully i learn and get wiser. Win in the long run with these hands you will.....patience is key.

All joking aside, if you really think playing against players that will go to the river with anything then I still suggest sitting at the next 2+2 table. You may or may not win anything, but when you leave you will appriciate those fish a lot more.

What's really frustrating is playing against players who don't pay you off when you have a good hand. Also, they only call and raise when they have you beat. I hate those good players.
