Where's your HEART man!
Granted hindsight is 20/20!
I am not comfortable at all accepting any action less than CALLING that flop as WEAK.
To the contrary.
I instinctively consider you had two choices, Call or Fold.
I will concede your play was stylish, bravado, but hell man, you had no hearts!
You were essentially chasing 4 outs for a Full House, vs anybody at that table needing at the very least 9 outs, for a flush!
His bet signaled to me he had hearts.
At the very least Ah Xx.
Unless he has demonstrated in the past that he bluffs or shows a tendency to take reckless stabs at the pot, I have no reason to doubt him.
By your own admission he slow-plays, I don’t know why you didn’t automatically assume he tripped!
I will therefore proceed as though he has trips or better.
This is in light of the fact I’m holding no hearts, chasing a Full House trying to beat a potential flush with a two pair.
At the time you made that All In bet you still had to contend with FOUR other players still in the hand!
Six people saw that SUITED flop!
Additionally, betting the minimum to see that flop.
You have no hearts!
Four of ‘em bet after you!
And you already got one player sayin he has hearts, anybody else here have hearts?
He is asking this to FIVE other players mind you!
He is gambling the first two said no, though they could be slow-playing.
Two to go!
You down a 100 and you gonna risk it all that the five other players don’t have hearts?
AT THE FUCKIN MINUMUM THAT’S A CALL with the realization and acceptance you’re chasing a full house with NO HEARTS!
Surely you weren’t betting that your two pair was going to beat a potential flush with all those players involved!
Clearly a GAMBLE on your part.
You did not respect the table at all in my opinion, and moreover conceited enough to think others should play it as you would if you indeed had the nut flush!
Let’s accept that, still 3 other players have yet had their say on the matter!
I’m not willing enough to assume that risk, nor am I pretentious enough to assume others would play the nut flush in the same manner as I would, rightly or wrongly.
I am especially not going to jump in there naked like that when there are three others that have yet had their say, if I was going for the Full House or not.
tapout made a good bet, and his read for your disrespect towards this table was quite accurate! I think the way you played was on a personal level rather than a mathematical one. I sense tapout got you earlier in the game with a previous hand, correct?
Personally I would have folded.
I am not playing heads up; I am playing five other players here.
If I assumed the risk of chasing that Full House and call 18x Blind, I at the least want everybody else at that table thinking I have the Ace of Hearts.
I therefore have no reason to raise!
I would want callers.
Nor do I want heads up play there.
Clearly I have no hearts, so I’m chasin, I don’t want raisers!
With 5 other players viewing the SUITED flop on a minimum purchase, I aint pickin this time to bluff either!
Hell, even I am holding suited cards and got to play it on the cheap, it just so happens to be the wrong suit!
I am again not looking for heads up play nor do I want to risk all my chips persuading others not to call right now.
Your bet indicates to me, knowing your cards, your purposely went to play heads up with tapout and guessed wrong, ignoring the other players.
Am I correct?
