Worst downswing EVER?!!?!?
Just kidding [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Thought it would be funny.
Anyhow, here's a weird one against an LPP. Note that I have been raising an exceptionally high percentage of the time this session. I think the people at the table have noticed it, as someone capped me preflop with A9o after I 3bet with AKo. How is this line? Who doesn't show this down? I HATE my preflop cap. A lot. Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is BB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, SB calls. Flop: (8 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, Hero calls. Turn: (6 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> SB checks, Hero checks. River: (6 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls. Final Pot: 8 BB |

Re: Worst downswing EVER?!!?!?
Given that he completed and then 3 bet preflop, then check-raised the flop into your cap, its hard to believe you are ever ahead here without some very good reads.

1- subject was funny, nh
2- preflop cap is not all that silly given your reads. I don't hate it. You have position and are ahead of more three betting hands than you are behind, I would think. 3- I have no idea what to make of that LRR, but I'd have to think this guy has unimproved overs 1/8 times. |

Looks good. I cap that every time PF.

Re: Worst downswing EVER?!!?!?
why? so he can put in a bet as an underdog, then give overcards odds to draw out postflop? makes sense.

Re: Worst downswing EVER?!!?!?
Most of the hands he will be up against, he is roughly 50/50. The change in pot odds for overcards is trivial and unimportant. The most important thing is the initiative and folding out better hands. Could he have the possibility of taking a free card if he doesn't cap? Do you think he could get 66 to fold on an A-high flop if he doesn't cap?

Re: Worst downswing EVER?!!?!?
bet the turn here? or is our raising-image out of control enough that there's no way we are taking it down on this kind of scary board?
I would think over-cards would throw in the towel here. I don't like the pre-flop cap either. |
