Most wonderfully played hand ever. 109

[45suited]

I understand that you don't want to be results oriented and all, but I think it's kind of silly when people refuse to post the results of the hands that they post.

Often, alot of people took the time to go through the OP and give their thoughts. It's not too much for them to find out (after sufficient time has passed) if their reads were correct.

To refuse to give the results after pokerdirty requested to see them seems a bit childish. If the post was a simple "push / fold" post, where there is an obviously correct answer, the results would NOT matter. The action is simple and there is almost always a correct answer.

In this case, there was more to the hand. People take the time to put villain on a hand. It is not entirely correct to say that results "don't matter" in this case. People learn by watching the actions of all players in the hand and then seeing what hand they were playing in the fashion that they did.

Not trying to pile on or flame you, but there is a difference between posting the results of pushing QQ and having the A5 that wrongly called hit his ace and a hand where there were decisions on all streets. In this case, showing results would have some purpose.

What's wrong with soaking in information.

Also, I don't like talking about hands with people who get angry about the play. Note the tone in almost every single response I got. Why would I want to argue with these people? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well, when have a title like the one on this thread you have to expect some criticism.

When you see a title like this, you can expect OP to be completely serious.

lol, jesus i can't believe all of these people couldn't see the sarcasm in your title, given the way the hand played out.

the biggest problem with this hand is that you missed your turn checkraise. if you get that in, you probably take it down on the turn. you went with your gut that it would get bet, it didn't oh well.

nothing to see here, move on

Sometimes maximizing profit doesn't come from just the hand in question.

[Melchiades]

Then the hand becomes irrelevant to discuss though. Discuss the thoughts behind sacrificing max profit in this hand to make more later then.

This whole thread is pretty hilarious.

The trick to winning at these sit and gos is usually to just play like a normal person early on. For instance check raising this flop when there is already 350 chips in it, and a decent chance you'll get called by a worse hand.

I like this advice the best. Thx, curtains.
