The Apocalypse Hand

[sexdrugsmoney]

Below are two hands, though I only give you the first not for feedback but merely as a 'prologue' to 2nd hand; "The Apocalypse Hand", so you can better understand my play and rate it given the circumstances.

Therefore the first hand is in <font color="#666666">this color </font>, I would really like your opinions on the 2nd hand, that is "The Apocalypse Hand".

For quick reference though, before you begin:

- Seat 2 is a total clownshoe who caps 3rd and 4th with nothing against an opponent with rolled up 5's just before The Apocalypse Hand. (He dumped so much maniacally and quickly I thought he was purposely losing it for money laundering reasons or something!)

- Seat 5 as you can tell from the prologue hand is not the greatest player in the world.

With that being said, welcome to the depths of hell:

Demi Moore just called me about the party poker promotion. PartyPokerPromotion? , ppp, upside down = 666.

Yes it is the end. It was nice reading your posts, thanks.

Actually now that I think of it the miniboat is pretty vulnerable to any 2pair hitting on the river.

[benwood]

I don't know how to read the "white writing", so I couldn't read the results of the first hand, but I get the idea. Even so, are you saying that these fools play so bad that you actually won this hand? No way.

Just click on the white writing and while holding down the button move your mouse over it and it appears.

Also, on the Apoc hand, try and put hands on them and guess who won, and give me advice what you would have done differently.

Cheers.

[benwood]

Who can tell what players have when they don't know what they have? I'll try to guess anyway. Seat 2 has 9's &amp; 5's. Seat 4 has J's up, &amp; seat 5 could have anything, who knows? Against these guys, I think you played it perfectly.

[Tilt]

When I read this I thought seat 2 caught trip 9's on 5th. If so it really wouldn't be a surprise if you end up losing this hand.

[Andy B]

First hand I would flat-call on third. I don't want to build a big pot with a dead hand.

On the second hand, I would just call the river against a normal opponent. You've represented a full house, and the other guy bets into you anyway. If he's a complete monkey, you should probably raise once.

[Bartholow]

When the guy bets out again on the river, I would already put him on a bigger boat. His cards are completely live. Not saying I'd fold, but I wouldn't raise.

[benwood]

Come on SDM, What do they have? The suspense is killing me. (Actually, I know that seat 5 won it with a real piece of shat).
