Re: but it\'s my button!
Looks like a -EV call to me even assuming your competition is poor and your postflop skillz are good.

"Ulysses calls a full bet on the button with 5-2."
That you care tells me that he owns you. |

Re: but it\'s my button!
Did he flop a wheen with the straight flush draw?
He could have raised and really attacked your button. |

U,
Contrary to popular belief, the button does not convey magical powers. |

ulysses scoops big ass pot.
So here's the deal. Ulysses is undoubtedly better at post flop play than I or 98% of the people that play in that $15/$30 game. In addition to that, he has a wealth of knowledge about player tendencies because the players in that game from from a pool of 30 frequents and he knows them all. Additionally, Ulysses earns a big bet an hour in that game with enough hours to make that number correct within a buck with 95% confidence. The thing is, I think if he tightened up he'd earn even more. He also gets more action than I do in that game. |

Perhaps, but I'd probably have less fun. He also gets more action than I do in that game. So perhaps that first statement might not be correct. Ulysses is undoubtedly better at post flop play than I or 98% of the people that play in that $15/$30 game. Yeah, 98% sounds about right. [img]/forums/images/icons/cool.gif[/img] ulysses scoops big ass pot. Oh, come on, it was a small pot. For those who care about the gory details: A couple of morons limp pre-flop. I feel like playing and think that given this particular lineup of players at this particular time, a somewhat unorthodox button limp from me will be the most powerful move giving me the most options post-flop. But mainly, I just feel like playing. So, I call and see a flop of something like 6d7d8h. (4 flush + OE straight draw). Checked to me, I bet, 3 call. The turn is 9d. Checked to me. I bet, 2 call. The river is Th, putting a straight on the board. Checked to me. I suspect that someone might have a Jack for a higher straight, but on the other hand I think they probably would have just come out and bet that. Anyway, I don't really care since I have a flush. I bet, both call. As per plan, my hand is good. |

On getting action
Another poster here (I won't mention his name, but his username intials are J.A.Sucker) and I were discussing the following:
When I raise pre-flop w/ AK and AQ and totally miss the flop, I'm much more prone to check than he is. He has a more aggressive style in certain other areas as well. Because of this, I'm able to bluff a few more pots than he is. But when he hits, he gets a little more action than I do (even though he probably plays a little tighter than I do). So who comes out ahead? Well, in the end, we don't think it really matters. If you're super-tight and not overly aggressive, you'll get less action, but you can bluff a few extra times to make up for that. If you're a little looser or a little more aggressive, you'll get called down and lose to marginal hands more, but you can make up for that with some extra 3 and 4-bets along the way. In the end, as long as you're making relatively reasonable decisions pre-flop and playing well post-flop, I suspect the exact details on both fronts probably don't really matter as much as we sometimes think they do. |
