knowingly throw the winner away

[kapsig08 0]

Thats a pretty bad play. Who cares if you want his whole stack, chipping away can bring you closer to having his whole stack. Bet the nuts, atleast on the river. The trap was smart until the river, something shouldve been done. :shock:

I was gonna comment on the horrible play... but I'll just settle for 'Bye-Bye'.

Im playing a thousand dollar nl holdem event and its early in the tournament. Im in the big blind with 67 off for 150. It gets raised to 300 and everyone folds  to me and i call. The flop comes down 5 9 8 and i have the nuts. i check the flop he checks. i check the turn a Q and he checks. i check the river a 2 and he checks.  I decided to throw my hand in the muck for the 300 in chips so that the table didnt see my attempt at trapping. I think it was better to fold this small one to get some aggressive player later trying to by the pot.What do you think?

This is the dumbest thing i've ever heard.

FCP is really crackin' down on the idiots lately... but all for good reasons. But still I find these forums turning into a somewhat N.azi party and Negreanu is the kaizer!  

Comparing this forum to National Socialism is straight up offensive. And then, of course, the leader of the N azi party was not called Kaizer Kaizer's were the heads of the Holy Roman Empire, the Austria Hungraain empire, and the German empire, which ended in 1918. Hiler was called Furher, not Keizer, you ignorant douche.

okay this is really picking at bones, but I was a history major that specialized in the second age of imperialism(1848-1914). FOr one its spelled: Kaiser. King Wilhelm I of Prussia was the first to take the title in 1871 as the emporer of the united kingdom of Germany. His father had been offerd the title in 1848 by a bunch of german princes( Germany wasn't a unified nation until 1871), but Prussia as the strongest state refused on the basis that they wanted to be absolute monarchs. The holy Roman/Austro-Hungarian empire was ruled by a completely different family( the hapsburgs). There's your history lesson for the day folks, and incubus, go hit yourself real hard in teh head with a hammer

AK doesn't play Tennis anymore, does she? Or at least not as much.

So I guess I missed it, but what did you actually accomplish by throwing your cards into the muck? Your opponents didn't see your cards so what information did you advertise to them?From what it sounds like if you continue to check the nuts on every round of betting you are destined to trap yourself. In a game like NL hold em it is important to maximize your winnings with your big hands, from what it sounds like you played this habd absolutely poorly. You are asking for someone to sneak up from behind and hit runner runner to make a flush or possibly a higher straight or full house.

Can someone spot me $12 so I can spot this guy $6 so we can play heads up on Stars?I'm just going to try to check every street -- he'll surely openFarrell the river so I don't see his style of play.  It'll be a long game, but I'll win.

Thought I had already seen the dumbest post ever on here, but I was wrong, this takes the cake. You fold the hand to avoid showing how you played it? You'd get way more out of the fact that the other players see you called a $300 raise with a crap hand like 6-7 off against a single player. Lose $300 to gain what??? Can't beleive you actually posted this slop.

Gonna Disagreee with some of you chaps. I don't think the play is absolutely horrible - it's partially horrible. I wouldn't suggest mucking only if you can try an overbet to look to steal.But your idea isn't HORRIBLE - you have 40k, and there is 300 in the pot.I played a 20 dollar freezout recently- as it got to heads up. I checked the nuts twice becuase I had a hyper aggressive player playing against me. The third time I checked - he went all in - I had the nut flush. Sometimes it's not HORRIBlE to trap a player to gain more out of someone.Respek. Booyakasha

But he DIDN'T trap him.... he didn't do a damned thing. Didn't feeler bet, didn't try an out-of-positional raise to get some chips rolling in, didn't overbet it to make it look like a buy.... He just let it get checked down. The ONLY reason he has to show his cards here is that he played the hand like a complete donkey.If you raise on the turn or the river either chips go in and the guy folds and you don't have to worry about folding the nuts.

I agree with the OP, I really hate to bet the best hand. All that does is make me last longer in these darned poker tournys....(SW) The thing that really surprises me are 1) people took this thread seriously and 2) the OP isn't banned yet for his racist remarks.

[cougfan 0]

That was terrible way to play it. You don't check the nuts 3 times and throw em away ever. If you didn't want the table to know you were trapping, then make a big bet on the river, that way you get paid off for trapping which what you were trying to accomplish, of he folds and you win the small pot and don't have to show your hand. plus making a huge bet, even all in will look like a bluff if he folds, then next time you trap you do the same and you may get a call if someone has a hand. They remember you making an out of line bet and be more likely to call you.

Has to be a joke, hope it's a joke, if not the OP is a joke. He is from Calgary, so I will lean towards the latter. Ironic that his hockey team is the Flames.

Here is something to think about.....How many poker software programs let you muck a winning hand if it is checked to you....NONE THAT I HAVE SEEN. This guy is totally lying........oh and he's an idiot.Erik

You can fold anything even if it's checked too you. Also, he didn't fold, he checked and MUCKED his hand after the other guy showed his, at least thats how he told it.

i like how everyone keeps talkin about how this guy misplayed his hand when he is obviously a waste of air. he would probably lose a game of "war" to a 2 year old because he wouldnt want the toddler to see how he played.
