the transition from UB to party

[DoctorJ]

Yeah - it really is nuts. If your game selection is good (and there's no reason for it not to be at Party), you could make a pretty strong argument for literally never folding a pair on the river, heads-up against an unknown opponent. I have yet to sit in a 1-2, 2-4, 3-6, or 5-10 game where i've been faced with a bet on the river I haven't felt that my odds of winning were at least 10-15% (with a couple exceptions from unusually tight players - probably 2+2ers). Usually, the pot odds more than justify a call.

You just have to remind yourself constantly that this is a function of Party games, and don't fall into it elsewhere (unless you're playing live in California)...

I got beat by a clown like this today.

A8o in the BB, one EP limper, another MP limper. Flop comes
AAK

I bet, EP raises, MP calls two bets cold. With a bad kicker I just call since one of them has the other A

Turn comes K

Ok, no kicker problems now, only hand that beats me is KK, which is unlikely. EP and I raise till it's capped, MP keeps calling and I can't figure out why.

River is, of course, K

I check, knowing what's coming, as does the EP. MP bets and I call so that he can proudly show

K8o

having hit his one outer on the river.

Good thing I have a sense of humor. My PC and the cats are all still in one piece. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

That was actually a weak fold in my opinion, if there is one thing I have seen wayyy too many times online it is the:
"F*** this game Im on tilt Im leaving anyways so I dont care about my last F***ing $X" raise [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

To give you an idea I play NL a lot and whenever someone with under 10 BB left raises all in preflop I call (or reraise) with any Ace and any pair as well as some other random hands, and yes it is profitable.

If you were going to fold for one more bet, why try and value bet the river?

check to possibly induce a bluff and call it.


edit: you folded to the turn raise, not river, makes more sense now. my bad.
