Hello my name is 76clubs and I am the best ever.I played horrible tonite.

You also got freakishly unlucky.In the sng I played with Golden, I had about 1800 with 5 left, and havn't played much. I raise to about 5x the bb with AK suited, get one caller. Flop comes 39K, all different suits. I bet about 1000, leaving me with 400. He calls. Turn is a J, I go all in, he calls, turns over 9J. I'm out in fifth.

I know I had some bad luck, but my ego is to big and poker isnt as good as I think it is.

1/2 NL @ Casino Niagara. the game is so unbelievably horrendous i can't even explain.im in the bb w/ T2o (not that it matters)folds to the button. (button is a middle aged loud mouth that has done nothing but complain about his bad run of cards. he's also down 3 buy-ins since i joined the table 2 hours ago)he looks at his cards and with an "oh well" look on his face mucks.sb completes and i check.button loses it!starts yelling that the rules of holdem are that if its folded to the small blind that both blinds must chop and begin a new hand.he then goes on to say that he folded a really good hand because he thought we were going to chop.i told him to stuff it, and i'll play my blind if i feel like it and proceeded to tell me i knew nothing about poker.he proceeded to lose 2 more buy-ins before i left.

Here's something you might hear from a fish:

Ok so Iwas playing 1-2 NL at the local Indian B&M. I bought in for $100 and was up around 120-150 at the time. I was playing like a rock and only playing premium hands. Everything was going great but I had three hands in a row that just left my head spinning. Hand #1 I am in middle position and it is raised to $5. I look down at QJ off and fold. The flop comes QQQ. Oh well missed opportunity. Hand #2: I pick up AA and bet them accordingly and won a nice pot. Hand #3: I look down at A3 off and just fold. I am still out of position and didnt want to get invloved with such a weak hand. Well the flop comes 33A. I know this isnt anything extraordinary just thought I would share. Does anyone else have any similar examples?

Fallsview usually has a couple of 1/2NL tables, one or two 2/4 LHE tables and a 3/6LHE table.When there is enough interest, they have a 2/4 NL table and a 5/10 LHE table and, i believe, as high as 10/20 LHE. I wouldnt bother playing NL there. The rake is retarded. Isnt it $5 a session, twice an hour? And the hands get played so _slooooowly_ that it kills you. I suppose once in a wihle the players are retarded enough to make up for it, but there're plenty of other places you can find horrendous players without that horrible a rake.

Once I was playing a $5 buy in no limit game with some friends, and some guy we had never met asked to play with us. We let him buy in, and it was quickly apparant that he knew nothing about poker. He played extremely tight, only calling when he had the nuts or near-nuts, except when he occasionally got bored and played poor hands. His strategy was extremely transparent, but he got lucky a few times and had about $7 when the following hand happened. On the button, I am dealt A10 and raise to .40 (the blinds were .5/.10) after no one had raised. My new friend calls in first position, a few others call, and a few people fold. The flop is 779, and under the gun, this guy goes all in for around $6.50 (keep in mind, he barely even limped in from the SB). Everyone laughed and folded, and he fliped over 77. He looked really disappointed and said "damn...maybe I should've bet less." Ever since then I've called that guy Hustler.

Single table sng, $15 buy. 4 left, 3 pay. I am BB and have about 3800 after posting the blind. Button goes all-in for 1150, SB folds, I call 550 chips with T6 offsuit, and beat his Ax. Him: "Oh my God you're such an idiot I can't believe you called with that crap. You suck at poker."Apparently somebody has never heard of pot odds. I tried to explain that I was calling 550 to win over 2000 and would have called with 7 2 offsuit, but he didn't get it.

Because getting over 3.5:1 odds you can correctly call with any 2 cards.

Yes, and in fact I consider it an absolutely terrible fold no matter what. If I fold he turns his stack from 1150 to about 2200 (with antes). If I call and lose he turns his stack from 1150 to about 2750. But if I call I also have a chance to win.

Yeah, Folding there is the best play. :roll: btw, what kind of odds are you looking for? 106o is over 40% to beat A5o and you're advocating a fold getting 3:1?nh

I came in here because I was playing 3/6 limit last night. A guy sits down and posts in the BB. I'm on the button with AA. Cutoff raises, I 3-bet, SB folds, BB calls, CO calls. Flop comes J94 check to me I bet only BB calls. Turn 5. BB checks, I bet, he raises, I 3-bet, he calls. River 2. BB bets, I call. He turns over 25os for runner runner 2 pair with no pair no draw 5 high on the flop.I say nothing but someone else at the table says:"What the hell were you calling the flop with?"Fish says:"It's a cash game, I'll play any 2 cards."

Good point. For some reason when somebody calls me an idiot I feel the need to explain my play. But it'd probably be smarter to just shut up and let him remember me as a "fish."

i think you're talking about casino niagara.casino niagara typically spreads 1/2 and 2/5 nl + 2/4, 3/6 and the occasional 4/8 lhe game.fallsview usually spreads a 5/5, 5/10 and 10/20 nl from what i hear and the limit games vary from 5/10 to 25/50 depending on the time.the session fee is $5 a 1/2 hour on the nl tables and yes it is ridiculous but the play is so incredibly bad that it can be overcome.
