3/5 nl call in the cutoff with 5-6s. flop comes 4-5-2. checked to me and i throw out 20 into the $30 pot and get a call from the small blind who had just sat down and had not even gotten his 200 chips from the runner. the turn came another 2 and we both check. the river is a K. he checks and i tried to take it down with a $40 bet and he immediately goes all in. just to be a d.ck iwas gonna ice him out for like a minute to make him sweat a little so he doesn't do this sh!t to me later. he looked confident for the first 15 seconds or so then he stiffened up like my morning wood. i knew my hand was good when he turned to the porter to order food. i pushed in my chips for the call and he mucks without showing :club:

Happened yesterday. I laid down a set of queens face up in a 1/2 limit cash game, and told the guy I knew he had hit his set of aces on the turn.It wasn't a great laydown. I think that any reasonable limit player would've picked up that this guy had aces in the hole. I hit my queen on the flop and capped it, but then the ace came on the turn and I laid it down.
ummmm yeah.. I don't know that this is true. Did NO possiblity of AK, under set, AQ, or kk exist? I think if you felt that strongly he had AA, that you just should have called him down. How can you be that sure of ANYTHING in 1/2? I think this is a terrible lay down, way worse than the 10 10 lay down.
Maybe you've never played on UB, but people only cap preflop with AA in the 1/2 game.

Are you serious? Do your realize how much any observant player will run over you with this mentality. You would have to put a gun to my head to get me to lay down a set of queens in this situation. Calling down is one thing, but folding is -EV.

why because he raised pre flop?. he capped the flop?, you had no clue what he had, and your lay down was horrible, you check call the turn and river after a capped flop.

Home game, 15 players freezeout for $20 bucks...3 handed, I'm on the button and decide to raise 3bb with 2/4 suited since the other players have been relatively tight. Get a call from the small blind and flop comes 2 7 q. He bets, I raise, he re-raises, and I call. Turn is 7, he bets, I call. River is a 10, he goes all in after a few seconds. I call and he turns over a/k and my deuces held up for a massive chip lead.

Of course any hand that i flop a boat of a straight flush, but the hands i like are the ones i call a bluff with garbagebest hand was during heads up after a live home game,I had garbage like J,5 in the BB, he raises from SB, and i call.flop is 5,8,10 i checked, opponent pushes all in, he had a large stack over me, i thought for a minute, and realised he's been playing loose all night but tight when he hits, so i called with bottom pair, and sure enough he had poo poo mcmuffins.
nice iowa's finest quote there.I love the bs hands the most also. My best hand was when I played a small buy in live tournament and got down to heads up. We battle for about 5 minutes and I have been pretty much steamrolling this guy. He was way too weak, hardly ever bluffed, and was basically just give me his chips every time i showed some aggression.I get K9 on the button and I raise it up 4x the big blind. He calls and the flop comes ragged, no straight or flush draw out there. He checks and I throw out my standard bet (3/4 pot) that usually takes down the pot. Amazingly, he raises me all-in (for quite a bit more, since the blinds were fairly small relative to our stack size).I think about it for a bit and stare him down. He shifts in his seat nervously and i can actually see him holding his breath. I call, flipping over my king high. He shows K2. The turn and river brick, and my K high with 9 kicker takes it down. Nice little payday, all the sweeter cuz it was a freezeout.

Don't steal lines from "maverick" and don't slowroll, it's mean and rude.

Howard makes it 9k, I pop it up to 30 with 86 and he folds.  He'd lost like 1/3 of his stack that day.
Are you saying you finished 2nd in the me?
Oh no, I'm sorry if someone misunderstood. This was a heads-up match vs me and Howard, it just happens that something similar happened to Danneman at the WSOP.

I was in a home tournament once with about 20 players ($75 buyin) and I was dealt 77 in middle position. Flop came 7 7 10... 5 way pot (very loose game with poor players). My grandfather came out betting... call.. call .. fold.. I call. Turn 8... checks around.. river 9. My grandfather comes out betting again.. folds around to me.. I look up at him and ask him if the river helped him. He smiles at me and gives me the old "you bet it did kiddo" wink. Someone at the table laughs and says "that means your folding.. lets go hurry up".. I go allin... he calls and proudly turns over JQ... I show him quads and everyone at the table gasps then bursts out in laughter. My grandfather says.. "you'd do that to your own Grandfather?? Guess who's not getting a Christmas gift this year". Good times...

NLH home game 15 players prize pool around 500 (rebuys involved)dont remember to many specificsdown to head up. raise pf. i bet flop (on a draw) and was called. turn check check. river i bet and was raised. now the board had a 3 flush and a 3 str8 (i think i had ace high or bottom pair.so i'm raised on the river. and i ponder and ponder (mostly just saving face) and as i am about to muck somthing took over me and i blurted raise t5000. (my 1st thoughts were oh shi.t why did i do that) at this point the 5k bet if i had lost i'd be left with only about 15% of the chips in play but if i won i'd have about 75-80%. other guy folded muttering somthing liek "nice hit" i went on to take 1st ($300), but it call came down to that hand, where the poker beast inside me took over and forced me to make that specific bet

Maverick is a hell of a movie, and I do occasionally slow roll ....Sorry, I like the dramatic effect
If you ever slow roll in a home game and dont get invited back, dont ask why.I cant stand people who slow roll, you won the hand, you know you did, so turn your god damn cards over and shut up.Also, your two pair 6's and 6's is a beginners idea of a cool line at the poker table.No one uses it, its lame. Its been done before, get some new material and stop pissing people off with ur slow roll propaganda

3 favorite hands3/6 game I flopped quads, never had to raise it as it was capped to me by 5 other players before I had a chance to act... on every street. I beat two full houses, a nut flush, and a guy with 2 pair.1/2 NL - I call a small raise from the BB with 67s, flopped the straight flush. Both the guys in the hand with me were wildly overagressive players. I smooth called them to the river when they were both all in. One of the largest pots I ever scooped in that game at just over 1k.1/2 NL - Call a 15.00 raise from early position with AKs on the button. Flop comes 9 high rainbow, villian bets 25, I call. Turn brings an 8, he thinks and fires again this time 40 more into the pot. I think about mucking, and watch him as I try to decide my play. My read is he just has two overcards, I call. River was a duece, he thinks for a minute and fires a pot sized bet in. I think for a moment, and make the call. He flips over K10 offsuit for a king high. My Ace high wins. This hand boosted my confidence in reading people to whole new heights.

My best live play hand was about a year and a half ago, just when I thought I was "getting good".Full 9 handed 1/2 NL ring game. 4 or 5 young fish, about 3 over aggressive asian guys, and me. 1 Asian guy has been running the table most of the night, I've been playing pretty solid. I raise to 8 UTG. Folds around to "him" on the button who bumps it to $25. From the way he had been playing , I knew he was weak. His big hands had been small raises, tossed into the pot. This was a forceful position raise. This guy was by no means a great player, just super aggressive. I put him on A-J to K-J ; somewhere with paint-paint. Flop is gross, I'm not sure the exact flop, but I'll try my best. 8-5-2 I lead in with a "weak" bet of $20 into about a $60 pot, he raises instantly to $50 , thinking "stay with the read", I call.Turn is another 2 By now I'm thinking..."I'm prepared to get it all in with this hand" I bet $30 , he bumps to $60 and I call and he looks uneasy. river is a 6 for a final board of 8-5-2-2-6 Now, having all but $100 of my stack in the pot I begin contemplating a small PP, but it's too late..."Stay with your read".....so I checkfollowed by an immediate "ALL-IN!" and a "CALL" ...(WHAT?! Did I just call?...yes, you did...idiot)So the dealer says "Roll em" and I look at not wanting to show and be humiliated when he flips over the winner. He says "King high", just for gratitude I say "King what?" and the tables K-Q. I proudly flip my A-K and double up. That was my first "big" night, a profit of $700, so the obession began.
