What's the point of pushing hand1? What hands that I beat are looking me up?

As played, I checked the turn & he bet half pot sized. Still push?

I play in these NL50 games at FTP. I see AA/KK played like this occasionally and other head scratchers. I would shove this flop since there is just no way I could fold.

You may be toast in this case, but in general, don't make the mistake of giving these guys too much credit.

This is why I need you guys...I've been turned nit by a long, long cooler. At least long fer my n00b ass.

If you're a reg on FT 50NL I'd be surprised if I didn't have stats on you...I've logged 20k hands over the last couple weeks as BlueCheer ... you?

Because there is only a pot behind, you flopped nuts turned into vulnerable (but still strong) hand, you aren't folding at any point and check/check on turn vs many potential combo draws would be a blunder. All-in is the only option. If he filled up his set/2p, then good for him.

[Fnord]

In hand 1 check/call misses value against weaker hands and gives a free card to a two pair or three of a kind board which can easily be a full house with the hole cards. It sucks less against aggressive opponents who will bluff, but we don't have that read here.

In Hand 2 we checked the turn to keep the pot under control to get to showdown, now we follow through and play show & tell.

dozer=bluecheer nice to know
vegascoop=ra1lb1rd check your 8Ts hands and wonder that I don't slowplay top set too often any more...

I got you at 12.5/7.5/2.5 over 120 hands. 21 PTBB/100 too


I can't believe I folded that straight. I never would have before this cooler...it fucked with my mind something fierce After losing in spots like this over and over and over...gah... OK -- I'll stop whining about my cooler now.

Thanks for the slap in the face FTR -- I needed that.

I'm happy with the way I played the AK hand. I called, villain showed AhQh


...is daven 'davenigma' by chance? Stats look pretty taggy -- 13/10/5 over 60

Yes yes, rub it in...I'm a stupid nit.

At the time I just really didn't see such a relatively passive villain playing the flop like that with only a pair. Later that session I ran into another straight and stacked a villain overplaying TPTK. He called my flop bet (I was betting an OESD) and got it all-in on the turn after it completed.

It was a good reminder that at these limits people do still overplay TPTK.

This is so wrong.

TPTK is a good hand.
People stack off with it at 200NL (and up) as well.
As you move up people just get a little tighter and more aggressive.

Good, thinking players stack off with TPTK against other thinking players, or vs maniacs/stations?

When I read a lot of your posts, I thing you're a maniac sometimes, but most likely I just need to move a little bit in the LAGG direction. I probably shutdown too easily on scary boards, or when facing a lot of aggression. I fold TPTK a lot when being re-raised from a tighter player who flat called me PF.

[Fnord]

I'm not saying auto-felt TPTK when predictable players tell you you're beat or if you're stuck in a very serious ROI situation. I'm just saying, it's a hand you need to be willing to put your stack behind and expect others to do so as well. Particularly against erractic players, in big pots, etc.

Well when I mentioned overplaying TPTK, the situation was: i raised PF with KQs in MP2, get called by the fullstack button unknown holding AJ. Flop JT8 rainbow. I bet, he calls. Turn comes a 9, I bet, he raises big, I push, he calls, I smile.

3-bet pots sure I go broke with TPTK, or vs big stations I'll often value-bet 3 streets with TPTK. I just don't like going up against another bigstack TAGG in a standard raised pot HU. When I lead & get re-raised or check-raised I usually give it up easily -- maybe a little too easily, I dunno... Maybe I gotta start posting more of my TPTK vs regs hands.

Got him at almost 20/10/3.2. He likes limping even more than I do.

Now that you know I'm a huge nit, just re-raise me anytime I bet into you...I'll insta-fold with anything but the 3rd nuts+

warpe sn = ?

I don't have anything that starts with warpe. I have davenigma at 17/12.5/5 over 270.
