40-80 QJo bb

[Tommy Angelo]

mike,

I am disappointed. I am unfulfilled. You used to be one of the all-time great player-describers. Now instead of telling how a guy plays in general and how he is playing and thinking in that instant that the hand happened and giving little examples of plays he's made and telling what he thinks about you and what he's wearing or whatever else, you say one word: donk.

At least make up some new words or something. How about if we have five kinds?

We could have donks, and danks, and dinks, and dunks, and denks. Denks doesn't work for me. I like the first four though. Then we could have dunkdinks. Dankdonks. Etc. Now we're getting somewhere. You can do this mike. Run with it. Take us into the heart of donkness.

I admit it. That was fricken hilarious.

OK, so they stare at the flop. To me, that means no ace, but possibly second pair and/or some kind of draw (K-T? Q-8).

Now when the sb bets out on the turn, I'd assume the 8 helped him in some way: maybe a hand that beats yours (Q-T? J-8?), maybe not (J-T? K-T?). So I'd just call too, confident I have the 3rd guy beat.

The river is the blank of blanks. I'd prefer to bet here once sb checks, reasoning the 3rd guy would be thinking he'd have to get by 2 players if he were to bluff, and that since he hasn't shown any aggression whatsoever this hand, he's less likely to bet the river for what he sees as value. They like to call on the river more than they like to bet since not betting still gives them a chance to win the pot whereas not calling doesn't.

I can't figure out the SB, so I bet the river. With the uberdonk still in the hand it means hand doesn't have to be good 1/2 the time, and I'm guessing it will be good 1/2 the time or more.

im not sure what to say. my heart's not really in this posting stuff anymore. they just play bad. they are loose and passive and randomly aggressive sometimes. so donk's is easy even though it's not special.

[mike l.]

you had it perfect until here:

"reasoning the 3rd guy would be thinking"

[mike l.]

alright whatever this hand was boring.

preflop i could raise but whatever.

flop, betting is clearly right.

turn: i like just calling and letting utg stay in.

river: i checked to induce a bluff. utg bet as hoped, sb folded, i called.

showdown: youll all like this. utg tables KQo for nut nothing. i see it as KJ because my vision is bad and i supposedly dont have time to go to costco and spend $100 for an eye exam and glasses. i flash him my QJ but dont table it and laugh and say "that's good" and muck my winning hand just as i notice that in fact he has no pair. they push the pot to him and i say "oops."

Time for a good puke session. I done similiar before.

So really, if you had raised turn, pot might have been yours in the end.

As it is, I dont have problems calling turn either. I just like raising it better.

EDIT: He may have called turn raise with his gutshot, so maybe that would not have saved the pot. Dunno. Still get an eye exam, seriously.
