Does it start to bother you guys when no matter how tight you play you continue to get beat by fish i know i know im in the right game...

I just called beat with trip jacks to 34suited who cold capped preflop
followed by 62 cold calls 2 preflop, 2 on a 3 suited flop he had no piece of and makes 2 pair on the turn...i need to find a release for this anger [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It did at first, until I realised that this is what you want to happen.

If he cold called a cap preflop, you were likely beat already by another PP so don't worry. Other than that, praise their bad play and keep them close to you. They're your best friends.

Usually? no... But THIS one did yesterday (but mostly because I had been having a bad day in general, but also because I've been working so hard to get my Party stats back into the green (Villain was 100/60 over 15 hands)):

Flop: (17 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero raises, MP2 folds, SB calls, UTG+1 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls, UTG+1 calls.

He had odds to draw to that miracle two pair the whole time! Or at least in his mind... lol

KingOtter · #6 02-15-2005, 05:58 PM

He wasn't on a draw in his mind... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] He didn't even have 2nd best hand until the miracle river.

Amazing... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

KO

Pimp - as posted above, you WANT these guys to keep playing these kinds of hands against you. For every one time that a 62 manages to turn a winning hand, there are going to be dozens of times he doesn't. It's tought, but I've learned that every so often you have to sacrifice a few bets once in a while, since these guys are putting at least one bet in every time you beat them. And every "nh" you put out there after a miracle beat makes it that much more likely that the fish will continue to feed your bankroll.

The ability to learn to handle that comes with time.

I'm at a table now for almost an hour, only won a single hand, and it didn't make it to the river for a small 3 BB win.

Several large pots lost to "fishy" style play:
AQ loses to Q3 on a flopped two pair, etc.

Not getting terrific starting cards either. It happens sometimes. With more experience I'm taking it in better stride.

Wow that is awful. lol.

What a total LAGfest.

I hope you have that guy on your buddy list.

100/60 jeez. Then again it is only 15 hands. He can't sustain that or he will be broke in 2 hours.
