What Hand Should The Fcper Call With?
giffenbone replied to gobears's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
This was my thought exactly. You shoved with JJ, knowing he had a monster preflop. Make him pay for calling with either QQ+ or AKcc with your JJ. -
For Better Or For Worse
giffenbone replied to DonkSlayer's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
or TT for tens full, but that has hero beat also. A flush seems unlikely in this spot for villain to bet on, because any pair for a boat beats the flush.I call also. If hero raises, the only hands that call either split with or beat the KQ. -
Two Hands That Gave Me Some Problems.
giffenbone replied to The Evil Polka Man's topic in Tournament Play
You know the two hands that always give me problems?My right hand and my left hand. -
One big hand at the end boosted you quite a bit...but you did well to grind it out before that.

$1/2 Megashove On Turn, Coordinated Board

I guess you didn't see the results. He had a flush. I made the right read (but the wrong call). -
$1/2 Megashove On Turn, Coordinated Board
giffenbone replied to giffenbone's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
Well, I took a lot of time, and reluctantly called praying he was still on the draw with Ac or a combo straight and flush draw (even though my read told me he had a flush).He flipped up 2c4c for a made flush.I rivered a 7 for the boat and the pot.I went against my read and lucked out. I was then berated for my call and he mutters something about how he should have offered to run the river card twice -
$1/2 Megashove On Turn, Coordinated Board
giffenbone replied to giffenbone's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
Did I do something wrong on the flop? pot was 25, SB bet 8, so I raised to 32? I felt like I was playing my bottom set strong (3/4ths of pot). is he? He knows I have a solid hand and wouldn't shove unless he had a monster draw (any combo of 2 of straight draw, flush draw, and pair of aces or two pair). I agree. I didn't feel he had a straight yet, but possibly Ac8x for a flush draw and open ender plus top pair. I don't think he's trying a squeeze, knowing I've been playing tight. But I haven't been playing tight-weak, just standard TAG. Remember, he's only lagtastic preflop and in positi -

My line of thinking was calling the turn because I suspected one of them (actually, I suspected UTG) to have the flush. If I raise the turn to ~90-100, and UTG shoves, can I possibly muck?Here i have the option to get away from a shove by calling the turn bet from SB. (I still wish SB had checked and I could have bet around $65 on the turn).UTG knows I've been playing tight (in this particular game at least), and my flop raise tells him I have a hand, so there's no way he can make a move on me with one pair or a draw, unless it is AcXx (which I don't believe he has the way the flop played ou -
No converter because this was a live cash game. 6 handed in a really loose 1/2 NL game but I was playing pretty tight, and the rest of the table I'm sure noticed.

What Have You Done That 99% Of Fcpers Have Not?
giffenbone replied to no not baxter's topic in General Poker Forum
I was sitting in their student section right above the tunnel their players came out of. I gave so much shit to all the tar hole students.To add others to my list:-I caught 3 foul balls during a 3 games series (all during the actual games...2 in the first game 1 in the third game) between the Orioles and Twins back in '98.-My brother played college soccer at UVA, when Bruce Arena (who coached the USA in two world cups) was head coach.-At 22.75 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes back in 2005. I am entering a qualifier this year for the Nathan's hot dog contest. I think I can put up over 25.-And -
