turd ferguson 1 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I think this site need a sarcastometer. It could go off everytime someone isn't completely serious so that the newbs can be in on the little jopkes. As it stands, people without any sense of humor just add fuel to the already out of control fire. Link to post Share on other sites
BETNFOOL 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Another player posed this interesting question to me recently...so I thought I'd throw this one out there.You are 5 handed at the final table of a $1500 NL hold em tourney at the Bellegio. You are middle of the pack in chips. Player A under the gun raises preflop, then Player B reraises all in. You have KK. Calling the all - in will cripple your stack, leaving you with only a few chips if you lose. What do you do?After a few responses I'll let you know what the guy ended up doing.all in and hope player A has JJ and player b has QQ and you win with no one sucking out on you, but we both know that will never happen. because the flop comes 2 7 9 rainbow turn 4 and the river a J and you get mad at yourself, you knew you were ahead the whole time, but just like online poker is rigged so are tourny's at bellegio...Why would say that Bellagio's tourneys are rigged???????sw sw sw sw sw sw sw sw sw swIt was a jopke. Get it?ty turd Link to post Share on other sites
Acesfull1208 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 The truly best way is leave for a smoke break/bathroom during the round at the final table. That way you don't even know what the hell happenned to your chips when you come back! I actually saw a guy try to do that until the Tourney director told him to sit his a** down and wait for the last 5 min in the round to end. Link to post Share on other sites

It would depend on who the players were- most of he time this is an all in. However, if one was a rock- I would have to at least think about it. I am probablt pushing 5 handed though.

nutzbuster 7 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Folding was weak. If the difference was only a few hunred then a call is a must.A few thou difference??? then maybe (MAYBE) a fold. Best... Link to post Share on other sites
MarcBrown 0 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 i must say that is a bad lay down, ala Jean Robert BellandeThe only hand that dominates your hand is AA, with that said you are 2.5-1 favorite ove AQ, AJ and possibly your two opponents could be holding hands such as these.........and as you know you are a 4-1 favorite over any pair..........so all i can say is, "Bad lay down!"If you lose here you can walk away from the table saying that you got all of your chips in with the best hand and got cuked out on, poker is about getting your money in with the best possible hand. Yes you will lose on many occasions, but over the long term you will be a winning player. Link to post Share on other sites

Holding only the 2nd best possible starting hand preflop should be an EASY laydown. Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 One of the easiest pushes ever in the history of poker. In a 5 handed game with a push and a reraise all in, I give it a 10% chance that one of them has AA. KK vs AA is almost an unavoidable situation, and is just bad luck if it happens.

JimmyWellington 1 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I think 5 handed you might have to think about a call there, i probably am going to fold because you know he has at least an ace, maybe QQ.So you're going to fold because he has at least an ace, maybe QQ.Perhaps you missed the part where you have KK. But if you're afraid of him drawing to either 3 outs or 2 outs, I think it's safe to say you will never find yourself in this position in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites

It turned out that his pet goldfish died, and he was so wracked with grief that it was physically impossible for him to make it in to the tournament. So they let him play over his cell phone, they told him the action, and he told them what to do.And he won too! Link to post Share on other sites
