Default Re: My best hand ever played

This is the first ever hand I played post flop at a live casino playing NL holdem. Game is a 2/5 uncapped game and I bought in for $500. A bunch of limpers and I limp with 22 on button. Flop comes 7 3 2 and we get it all-in three way on the flop and I am up against a set of 7s and a set of 3s. Suffice it to say I river quads and scoop a $1500+ pot. Welcome to NL holdem baby...

2-5 nl home game. Villain has 2.5k, hero covers. I've played a lot of pots with villain, and he's getting fed up with me bluffing him. It folds around to the sb (1st time in 5 hours), i limp 88, he makes it 25, i make it 100, he calls. Flop: AA8, i push allin, he calls with 87o

You do realize you played this hand terribly right?

ok when you change the pot size YES theres room for a preflop raise

btw my condenscension was about the inferior line taken, not the seeming lack of a pf raise which plus the bizarre nature of the play with the possible 2nd nuts would help contribute to making a strong case for him not having AKc/AQc

the line i advocate is still the best, and was the main point of my posts, which youd like to forget but cant because you realize you are really not improving your game by wasting time on these forums where you dont listen to players who are much better than yourself

Why is leading better than checkraising, granted you do not know opponents' cards?

you got a full tilt account? again, this is furthering my point, you havent addressed your initial argument about the check raising line, which would seem to indicate you concede, you are having alot of fun sidestepping the issue

leading at pots vs check raising, isnt this advanced NL 101?

i might as well just refer you to the ciaffone NL and PL text, but ill say a little something i suppose

in my own personal experience, it is much easier to win a huge pot by leading instead of check raising because people are much less likely to put you on a monster, as you could have many different hands to lead, also this allows you to increase the pot by creating a more likely situation for a three bet when you are raised, check raising is probably the most overused play in NL

to be honest i really only like check raising with draws to pick off aggressive players, or when i wont like about 70% of turns and want to end the hand immediately
