What did the comment mean?
I played this hand last night. When it was through the villain posted what I thought was "nice hand" in chat and I said "ty". Later I noticed that he really had said "nice 7.5% hand". WTF did he mean by that? I think I played it okay and it definitely wasn't a suckout. Was he just pissed that he got his pocket Aces cracked?
The villain seemed to be a decent player. MP2 was a fish and the BB was playing pretty loose. PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (8 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG :#A500AF(Villain)/ raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG :#A500AF(Villain)/ caps</font>, Hero calls, MP2 calls, BB calls. The villain was a decent player, so with the raises I put him on probably a big pocket pair. Flop: (16.40 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villain raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, BB calls, Villain calls. Okay, I was worried about pocket Q's but he didn't cap my 3-bet so he probably doesn't have them. Turn: (13.20 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> BB checks, Villain checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, BB calls, Villain calls. With three other people still in and the other two guys seeming to be on draws, I didn't want to check/raise here and take the chance of giving a free card to the flush and straight draws so I bet out. River: (17.20 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> BB checks, Villain checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 folds, BB folds, Villain calls. Okay, don't have to worry about a straight with the board pairing (not that I think on of those guys has one after the turn betting). I bet out because I was afraid it would get checked to showdown if I tried for a c/r. Was my thinking good on this hand? And what did the villain mean with his comment? Final Pot: 19.20 BB |

When he said, "Nice 7.5% hand," what he really meant was, "I'm on tilt now, so you can bend me over to your will." Take advantage of the situation.
Nice hand. |

He's confused the odds of flopping a set (roughly 7.5:1) with the percentage of flopping a set (which is about 12%). In other words his maths skills aren't what he thinks they are. |

Well I guess I am wrong [/ QUOTE ] Set or better. Set alone is about 10.5%. I have no idea where 7.5% comes from; perhaps dave was thinking of 1:7.5 instead? |
