Default Ever just play like a retard?

I generally make very good laydowns when I know Im beat but not tonight
All games 9 handed

1/2 NL

CO is a bluffing maniac

I have 22
4 to the flop

Flop 2 8 10 rainbow
I normally bet here but this time check
Turn King- second club
Checked to me I bet pot 2 callers
River 7c

BB checks maniac bets 69 into 40 dollar pot
Im on the phone with my friend and say I don't like having the BB still in the hand i should fold. I call.
BB goes all in for 40 more ([censored] he has the flush!)
Maniac calls

I decide I will go all in for 100 more since I'm losing the main pot, but will break even with the side pot- wrong
BB had straight maniac has flush

200 in the trash

Then I get AA

Raise to 12 55 dollar stack calls on CO BB calls
Flop 5 10 10
I tell myself way ahead way behind keep it small
basically if the short stack has trips he can suck my dick Ill pay him off
BB checks I check short stack goes all in BB calls ( ding ding ding why the hell would he call i wonder what he has)
I call ( nice donkey)
Turn he goes all in I call
He has ace 10

200 more in trash

Then we go to 2/4
I raise on CO with AJ d to 22
One caller
10 a j 2 clubs flop

He leads for 40 I make it 120 ( so far so good)
he goes all in for 318 more
Well I beat Ak which he doesnt have, a flush draw ( barely if he has a gutshot) and 10 j
I also beat a bluff which is isnt making
So finally I make the right decision and fol- call
Good move dick
He has 10 10 and i miss my 4 outer/ backdoor running gutshot split pot and any other miracles you can think of
Thanks god it was a raked hand counting towards a bonus


450 in the trash (although I should have lost the first 142 so I can live with that amount)

Money lost on these 3 hands
850
Money I should have lost
142+11+12=165
Only 685 dollars I didnt need great

Sorry I had to vent
I can't control the cards but I hate donking

interesting. the 7-K straight flush is a deceptive one and would get me every time.

BB has straight. Maniac has flush. No straight flush. Your point, however, is a good one.

Hand #1, you played fine up to and including the check on the river. River 3-bet, mweargh.

Hand #2, you played fine up to and including the flop call. Turn call, mweargh.

Hand #3, the allin call is not great, but it's the best of the three. Preflop, and flop raise, are fine.

Hand 1 i never checked the river
I overanalyzed everything and stuck my foot right up my ass

Hand 2 I was a dear in headlights
Why would the BB flatcall?

Hand 3- I'm just suprised he didnt have kqc and hit a royal when I hit a boat

I can deal with suckouts but burning money is very stupid
I have made a great deal of money this year with poker but I have a long way to go to be the player I'd like to be.

Default Re: Ever just play like a retard?

My most retarded plays are usually bluffs.

Here's the first one I can think of off the top of my head details are a bit foggy...

6 max $2/$4

I raise to $16 with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Folds to BB who makes it $45 to go.

I call.

Flop: :26T two clubs

BB bets $80 I make it $220. BB calls.

Turn: Ko

He checks, I move in for $150 or so with no fold equity and 4 outs.

He calls with KKK..... .

Oops.
