You: K2sBB: AK

Don`t know if this is true, but according to this post, the poster (Kevin) at RGP isn`t too fond of Daniel.link here(Let me know if the link doesn`t work...)Hmm. This post reminds me of something I`ve read in Daniel`s blog. Just don`t remember what exactly.

Good one.

And where did it say I put him on anything? In fact, I stated that I`d be even MORE careful if I couldn`t put him on a hand. I simply mentioned that Ax suited is always played on this level. We don`t know much about this other player do we, and I`ve admitted that I would have problems laying it down. It`s just they play (turn bet in particular) I don`t agree with, and all the people saying that you couldn`t possibly lay it down. You can. I`ve done it. Someone else on this forum have probably done it. The concept "great laydown" wouldn`t have existed otherwise.I don`t want to tell people to be

Just joking. I`m not, really.

I`m glad people like you exist.

I kind of like this answer. But because of the 50$ turn bet.

A longshot hand. Hmm. Have you ever seen someone lay down a suited ace preflop without being severly raised at this level?And of course KQ is a valuable hand, not only because of it`s high card value, but obviously it`s combined flush and straight-value. Sorry `bout that. But it`s not the nuts on a flush-board. (Exept with the A, J and T of the same suit)

Because you don`t play them for a flush. You play them for their high card value. The added value is that if you don`t hit your cards, your escape route can be the flush, if it hits. Sometimes though, you lose with them...

Ok. I see a lot of good arguments here, both for and against the call. And I have to say that both parties make exellent arguments. But of course, I can only speak for myself, and I would at least have hesitated making the final call. That being said, I guess you were sort of committed after making that (again, in my opinion) slightly too big turn bet, so I don`t blaim you. (Never did....) Nevertheless, I don`t agree with those who say that there is no way to lay this down. And you don`t have to be an exeptional reader to do so. I have NEVER EVER not slowplayed a flopped nut flush, and I am

How much?

Aseem has a point though. It`s difficult to answer this when we already know what the outcome was. But I don`t really believe him when he says he wouldn`t have layed it down in a million years... That`s like saying I don`t know that there is flush that can beat King high flush.AND, people are coloured by the amount of money involved, even though they try to have a poker-neutral view to it. For some people, this is pocket change, but for others, it`s a decent sum.AND, we don`t know this player (at least I don`t) and how he plays. If he is the kind of player that only play the nuts, well....and

Lol. Thanks. Now it doesn`t happen that often; But if you keep insisting on believing you have the best of it with a King high flush, and are also willing to bet all of your money on it when an opponent reraises you, well then I think there`s room for improvement in your game. No disrespect.It doesn`t happen that often---------> Suited Kx vs. same suit Ax flopping the flush, I mean...

Ebonwoulfe is right on. If you look deep inside yourself, you know you should have let this one go. Right?

Yeah, you must be kidding me. To even compare A4 to A9 is ridiculous. How about you and your friend get together and play 100 hands with 1 dollar in the pot every time. You will have A9, and he will have A4. He`ll be broke before he knows what happened.In fact, A9 will win the pot in over 65% of the hands.

You`ve got nothing to worry about mate. You were in a good spot to take out the shortstack with, well, in my opinion, a quite decent hand. And it wouldn`t have killed you if u didn`t.A good call. Especially when u thought it was just another BB. But I think I would`ve called anyhow. Tell u what? I bet DN would have done exactly the same. IF he decided to limp UTG, which is the most questionable move you made in this hand.

Thanks Smash. Nice to experience someone with a certain degree of matureness and willingness to resolve differences or problems without resorting to name-calling...

Hmmm. A bit disappointed now. I was, as Scott was so kind to point out, actually applauding your skills.And you are, as always, hasty in your assumption that anyone who dares comment your posts or your play, is poker morons. Well, I DO know that poker genious is rarely found in the micro-limits, but I never said I expected it from you at that level. Did I?I would absolutely LOVE to see you at higher levels, or in tournaments. And I`d be cheering for you Smash. Honestly. If I`m not participating myself, obviously...Maybe an example of the little "specials" I`m talking about is the "intuition ch

I always look forward to Smash`s posts, because it`s simply more fun than reading, for instance, Lee Jones.Smash is (almost) always playing correctly, or at least "by the book", and that`s why he makes money. If everyone played like him, we simply couldn`t make money in the long run, because we`d cancel each other out.He is very good at it, and he`s got the patience and mathematical skills to be very succesfull in poker. I really respect that. He isn`t always as good in dealing with people, but hey, he`s not about winning any popularity contests...? I don`t always like his attitude, but I can

Not really. Most of the time, the kickers won't even come into play.That`s not really what I mean. To put it short; A6 dominates A4. End of story. That`s the definition of domination.

I think you played this hand close to perfect. The only thing I`m not sure I would have done, is push all the chips in. Maybe double his bet...And A6 IS dominating A4, no matter what board comes. Sometimes though, the dominated hand wins...

Well, there`s no need to tell it (the play, NOT you) was stupid, as you clearly understand that perfectly well.I`m not going to argue that betting more preflop would have helped, as we all know that low-limit players don`t scare easily.I`m merely passing on an advice I`ve read several places (think I read in a Lee Jones book recently). I don`t remember the exact phrasing, but it goes something like: If there`s a raise and/or a reraise, look for a reason to get out!And in my humble opinion, putting him on an eight was....well, not VERY unlikely, and though I think you played it perfectly ok unt

With this kind of action i would want to stay out of the way. I`d rather be in with a couple of small connectors, as it seems this hand can easily be up against a dominating hand, a pocket pair or an ace, which could make it a coinflip I wouldn`t care to lose at this stage...
