Absolutely nothing you did wrong here. I just ran the odds through poker calculator and you were the 45.35% favorite to win that hand, which out of a 3-way affair gives you a big +EV.

Since the guy with AT was conseriable shortstacked, a lot of the pot was just between you and GambleItUp. However, your hand was a 72% to 28% favorite over his hand heads up in this situation.

Going all in with the other two guys going all in is exactly what you want assuming you dont think any sets are lurking out there.

i agree and disagree. i prefer to be the one making the all in bet rather than calling here (semi-bluffing). but calling it is hard to do with only a flush draw and basically high card ace. if i've had a good day i may make the call but i doubt it...alot of money on a draw, that is assuming you put 1 of them on atleast a pair. i've done it b4 though. sad thing is if the same thing happens against me and they hit i get ticked and consider it a HORRIBLE play on their part. LOL

Your forgetting a few things.

One, this is 2000 NL not 50 NL or whatever you might be used to palying. 2000 NL has a lot of semi-bluffing, and people calling raised pots with connected suitors.

Two, even if someone has a pair, ilikeaces still has better odds, since he has two overs + gut shot + flush draw.

Assuming his overs aren't good, which they should be...well...at least one of 'em should be, then he still has a gutshot + a flush draw. That's more than he needs to get it all in there, hoping for two callers. Heck, even against he one guy who already went all in, he has good odds for.

Furthermore, even though aces doesn't officially know it yet, the one guy with an open ended straight flush draw has a WHOLE BUNCH of his outs destroyed by aces having AKc. The Qc now would give aces a royal flush, while giving him a straight flush and any club except the 7c gives aces the flush. Therefore, that gives him even better odds on his call.

The eventual winner of this hand had to dodge a bazillion outs to win this. Aces made the right call here; just sucks that he lost.

i play $2000 and $1000 NL exclusively. and while i agree with what you said about the "semi-bluffing and calling raised pots with connected suitors" I don't think i call $1000 reraise with nothing more than 2 overs and a draw....but thats just how I play it, to each his own. like i said i have made similar calls, really depends on how my days going. once again its MY opinion on how i play it

my apologies, didnt nkow you play those high of stakes.. I suppose you have a point.

no worries m8. then again what do i know...i called a $1500 reraise on a Ah Kh Qh flop when i held Jh 10c...fig i had the str8 and 4 to nut flush (and only a 10h away from royal flush) ended up not catching another heart and losing to 3h 5h flush. not my usual style but was having a very good day and fig i'd gamble. sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesnt. i'll gamble occasionally like that, just not my preference. i wanna put them in the hotseat and stay out of it as much as possible. maybe i should loosen up a little.

Yup, it's the replies in this thread that make me believe the High Stakes forum was a bit premature.

I personally felt embarassed by spino1i's reply, but I know that shit happens so its all good. At least we know that they are both good sports.

That's probably true but its been good reading and the only direction to go is up. I'm just glad there is starting to be some discussion going on in here, even if it hasn't always been of the same caliber as that other forum's high stakes section.

i dont like this play so much just because your stacks arent even. yes you have 2 nut draws and are over 33% favorite to win (great for 3way action), but one of the 3 is considerably short stacked so its essentially a HU match. although the outcome was good, you had 89c right where you wanted him and he sucked out huge, i think this is a bit too much risk vs the potential reward.

amazing call by AT btw.

The problem is it is of almost no calibur at all. I had to explain myself too much in my own threads and discussion on most hands becomes speculation about how different 10/20 is from 1/2.

The only way for it to improve is to bring in more high stakes players.

I guess you're right...It is weird having small stakes players commenting on 10/20 NL hands and sarcastic 3-post assholes replying with garbage as well.

I wasn't talking about you at all, it was just an obersvation. The highest I play is 100NL so I am not here to pick who should and shouldnt post. To me 500NL counts as high stakes, but probably not to the 2k NL players.

i'm working on getting there!11

Michael1123 has declared this forum for 3/6 NL and above. Deep stack 2/4 should be fine but it's Michael's call.
