1/2 NL Live Deep Stacked

Mempho · #1 12-12-2005, 06:59 PM

I've been running well in this game....taking a $200 buy-in and turning it into $1500+. I am the big stack at the table and I am in the CO. The button is the second big stack with about $1250.

3 limpers to me I call with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Button calls, SB completes, BB taps the table (Pot: $10)

Flop is J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Checked to me...I bet $8

Button calls and BB calls (Pot: $34)

Turn is the A

BB checks, I bet full pot, button calls, BB folds (Pot $102)

I glance at the button and catch him looking at his chips and think, "looks like he wants to call a big bet." I bet all-in (he has about $1200 left at this point) and he looks up at me and shrugs his shoulders, "I call."

I immediately table my hand and he tables his K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I point to my ace of hearts as the dealer pushes the pot towards the villain. He says, king-high, then I say...no ace-high and then I get that sinking feeling and the fog and desire to vomit comes over me.

Given that hero didn't realize that there was a possible straight flush, he was probably losing his stack anyway.

I think OP played this hand ok. He had a read on the other player as a very loose agressive type who had a lower flush and they'd been going back and forth in a pissing contest. Good place to push as his opponents frustration might make him call with a weaker flush. For him to EXPECT the other guy to have a straight flush is bad poker it seems to me. You cant expect the hand of doom to come crushing you from the sky at every moment.
Expecting your set to lose to a bigger set, expecting the other guy to have 4 of a kind when you have the full house.
Come on, thats just ridiculous.
Sometimes you will lose these hands unfortunately and all of these players who act as if they could lay it down are full of crap, IMO.

Yes. I had no idea and it was embarassing to not realize it. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Of course the guy who chases with the K high flush draw is going to fold this if the river is say the 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], you guys can be so funny, hero made enough on the flop and turn to pay $1200 on the river everytime this happens.
