Sweet suicide

there is something truly poetic about planting chips in a pile of crap and growing a rose. ;-)

Hey cero,

The turn was beautifully played dude, if that had happened to me (not likely though!) i'd be on top of the world. Bet you were, rightfully so.

Not sure about the flop though. The pot is 300, and you're raising a 20 bet to 100, i mean is anyone supposed to take that raise seriously? Also, its pretty clear (as you describe it) that the whole table expects blindman to bet something, thus giving everyone a chance to act again, so the three checks could mean anything. So I dont like the initial raise or the amount of the raise.

The raise to 1360 is better, but still you're risking 1300 to win about half that vs 3 opponents, looks like a low percentage bet to me.

That said, the turn play is so fantastic it takes centre stage !

What a tool...I don't know how he could have such a great read to know that one pair was good on the flop, yet somehow think that the A on the turn had hit one of us.

Clearly he was not sure that it was good. He made a guess and it was wrong. You made a guess and it was right. Would you like a bracelet? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If all of the planets had not aligned and you lost your stack with a pair of 4's who would have been the tool?

My most obvious mistake was missing how good SB's hand was. Had I had an inkling that he had an overpair, I would've never gotten involved in this hand to begin with.

Are you saying you won't get in with small suited connectors for cheap against an overpair? The implied odds are enormous!

I almost cried reading this.

Well, Vince, as they say in poker, he earned that pot.

I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person and a decent poker player, but when I read posts like this, I feel like a complete jackass.

Well done, will you be my poker mentor?

vnh. excellent thought process.

you should have let the thread run for longer, i think you posted it at a weird time, i for one didn't see it until you'd posted the results.

That is some brilliant poker, nh.

So did the big stack SB steam any after the hand and dump some chips on you? Where abouts in VA are you? (I'm down in Norfolk).
