Big pot: I am a fish.

DJGroove · #1 07-31-2004, 07:14 PM

Ok, I had time to play a short session today. I sit down and post and get this hand. A monster.

The pot looked like it was going to be a pretty good size, so I called the preflop raise.

I caught my draw (caught my draw, I AM a fish) on the turn and was not going to release the hand for one BB.

Tell me how bad this was...I felt dirty.

-Bad flop call? Due to the pot size, I wanted to see if I could catch a draw. And I was not totally convinced the other poster had a made hand. Maybe raise or fold time?

Fold pre-flop OR flop. By the time you reach the turn with an inside straight draw, the call there is fine. I probably try to check-raise the CO on the river.

terrible terrible terrible pf call, no matter how big the pot is, you cant do anythign with 10 3 off, fold.

I would have folded pre-flop, but you are last to act, so I guess this is not horrible.

What were you drawing to on the flop? Runner-runner to a 1 card straight (to maybe split or even lose the pot)? Ten-ten to maybe lose to a better full house? You are probably behind every other hand at the table. Even if you caught a ten (much less a three) on the turn, you might still be behind (and you would never know). Fold here.

The turn and river are fine.

T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] may look like a good hand, but it is not what it seems. Fold preflop. Fold the flop.

Played great from there.

I won the pot as SB had 4/8o for two pairs, it was a nice start to the short session and gave me the image of a complete moron (apparantly not wholly untrue).

Thanks for putting me in my place. I know it was a bad call (pf and flop), and I know I am being results-oriented. Sometimes I don't remember how to play in bigger pots or something. I'm not sure what it is.

Actually it looked like total and complete trash. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

It was the pot that was looking good. What can I say, I like the big pots..

I don't think it even looks particularly good.
