These two are related and make the same mistakes. If all you want is to get involved in 70/30 or better situations, you're killing a lot of value in 60/40 situations.


This is how downswings...

If I had anything left behind I would have gladly put it in =)


It makes his play up until the turn very profitable for him. Had he hit something hidden, I'da been very likely to pay it. ...

Dr_Giggles isn't very patient =)

But you're right Fnord...the turn card doesn't change a damn thing. I still think I'm ahead, 'cause it just doesn't make any damn sense.

Hero calls $27.65...

Figured a bet was inevitable, but hatchiemachie...

The c/r confused the crap out of me...I believe if he had KK pre-flop, he would have pushed it then instead of waiting. TT is about the only hand that makes sense to a regular opp, but given the...

Small sample, ~60 hands. Will post my play later.

How was the table replying to pre-flop agression?

If getting 3 callers suprized you, what does that tell you?
If getting 3 callers didn't suprize you, what the hell were you doing? =)

Solid...

Please use a hand converter.
UTG with AKo, you're looking to raise to isolate to at most 2 other players, whatever the table dictates to get that done. It appears as though 2xbb is not enough, as...

In the hand, the hero was never played back at, yet he was still uncomfortable. Given that's the case, I believe he, personally, has no buisness completing A40. You are a different person.

Why complete there when hitting the best part of your hand makes you uncomfortable?

Yup.

If it's a hobby and it's not fun, don't do it. Not only is it silly, you most likely won't play as well.

Play what you enjoy.

It sounds like you enjoy the idea of hitting a big jackpot. Go play tourneys.

May not be the best for a bankroll (time invested vs EV is usually not good), but if you...

Flush on flush using both hole cards is rare. Pay it off.

Sooted connectors have a low chance to hit big hands. You want a multiway pot for two reasons:
1) Better odds out of the gate. Why...

If you can't destroy the 1c/2c tables, you do not understand poker.

Seriously, get that through your skull.

"Conventional" poker play, like what you'd read in a book, does not work well. You...

Quoted for truth.

Hopefully you were playing well within your bankroll so you can shrug off the loss and move on. The fact that you made a post about it, and not in the bad beats section, makes me worry...

To extend, what Jack here did was looked at the odds of hitting one type of straight, let's say the idiot end. In order to get that, you need the flop to be 9TJ. The first card delt needs to be any...

So the question is did the villain do the right thing calling the turn raise, right?

He had to pay 19BB into an ~35BB pot, with the lowest stack (hero's) remaining at about 110BB. He, if...

Go easy on me, I haven't played in a month or two~

There are very clear and rigid probabilities for every occurance in poker. Any deck rigging will mess with at least one of those occurances. There exist extremely large hand databases out there...

I program murder simulators.

The play of AA has nothing to do with it...the actuality of the hand is that the set of 8's got a bulk of the pot in the middle with a 9-1 advantage and lost. That's a bad beat.

My condolances.

The big problem here, is you have to still be at the table after the hand for an advert to be any good to you. In this case, Rip has ~$50 behind, and had better not rebuy 'cause, well, you know that...

Eh, good enough:
