Clearly, the word is douchebaggery.

Default Other comments...

I rarely play a hand like this. I'm willing to say, this may be the first time I limp-capped preflop then called-3-bet a flop in my poker career. He also said, "I was the favorite" when we first started to chat about the hand which we all know at best he's a 2:1 dog.

What you all have to consider is the dynamics of the table. Short handed w/aggressive players and the only live one in the big blind. Given this description of the table/players there is only one line to take, the one I took.

Peace,
Joe Tall

Default One more thing before I hit the sack...

Orb also said, since I capped preflop, he "put me on a huge hand". Now what do you think of his flop play w/the heart draw?

Peace,
Joe Tall

I could see him raising just so you can 3-bet, getting more money in the pot from the BB and also assuring him of a raise (or two) if his draw hits, because your 3-bet guarantees you are going to showdown with your hand, and not passively....

However, if he just said to himself "Joe has a huge hand, but I have a flush draw, I'll raise"...then he played it very poorly...

I bet, Orbflux and the live one folded. Then, to be kind, I typed AA into the chat and that's when Orb started with his 'played horrible' comments. He also asked if I've ever played limit before. "maybe, once or twice" [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Joe,

Is this a joke? Or are you just testing us to make sure we have not lost our collective minds?

As for your play: C'est parfait, comme dit les francais!

even at a six max table, im not very excited about Iso-raising the lag with T9s. Little showdown value, and the lag is going to force me to go to the river alot. IMO, another bad play preflop. I deem your play to be perfect.

peace

Yeah often times "slowplaying" big hands preflop and on the flop is the correct strategy at 2p2 tables where people will raise for free cards with little to nothing or just raise postflop because it is fun. This hand is played fine imo.

This is one of my favourite hands I've seen in a while. Fantastically executed.
