Marc-O 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 So saturday night I took a shot at 10/20, which I from time to time do if I spot a good table...so anyways Im about 3 hours into the session and sitting with about $400, which was what I bought in for.... and this hand came up, which made the session turn very profitableim on the button....5 limpers ! wow ( im calling with almost anything in this juicy pot )I look down at 6 7 , I elect to callFlop 10 8 8 It's checked around to me.... I checkTurn4 Its bet at by an early player... 1 player calls... all fold to me... I elect to call to see a river hoping to hit my draw and hoping someone has somehting like A8River9 Wow! my Gin card..... i was thinking 9 or spade 9 or spade 9 or spade... didnt even think about the 9 of spades !!!So early player bets, 2nd player calls....I raise.... early player Re-Raise...2nd caller mukcs...I make it $80...He goes $100I suddenly slow down... take a breath and look..... shxt i only have 2nd nuts!.....he very well could have Q J ....So I just called the final raise....... he turns over 99 for 9's full of 8's...I win a nice pot with my straight flush..but everyone at the table starts chatting saying how they couldnt believe I just called and didnt keep raising....Thoughts ??mind you... the guy with 9's full was easily the tightest player at the table, maybe entering a pot every hour..... very very tight...anyways, I played for another 2-3 hours..... till about 4 a.m and we were playing 6 handed at this point and I ended up going to the cage with $1250...so a +850 night for me... which Im very happy with considering my regular 5/10 sessions rarely break $500 profit in a session Link to post Share on other sites
antistuff 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 would i stop raising?no. and if there is no cap i go pretty far with it too. Link to post Share on other sites
DonkSlayer 1 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 If there was a cap, you cap. Period.No cap, I get in about 8-9 raises. Good bad beat story if you lose to QsJs. Link to post Share on other sites
Marc-O 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 no cap....really ? so far noone is stopping with me lol...but in all honesty I think I only missed 1 bet...I think If I put in 1 more raise he would slow down and just call with his boat knowing what potentially could be out there....but when he put out that 5th raise it really put a sick feeling in my gut thinking oh shxt he actually has QJ spades......which he could very well be playing limping in from mid positionSo I think I missed 1 bet....most people at the table say he would have gone all the way with it.....

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 You missed a few bets, actually. You should have bet the flop for value here, with a flush draw and a gutshot, even on a paired board. Bloat the pot. Plus, you can fold out random spades that can catch up if it comes off spade/spade, and gutshot hands like J7 that might not call, but taint your gutter outs.Also, you should probably get in like 10 bets on this river.Wang Link to post Share on other sites
DonkSlayer 1 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 edit: no cap when heads upHow do we feel about this sort of game in general? I think it's a goofy rule. I mean, can you really quantify the correct number of bets to get in with the 3rd nuts in a live 3/6 game against any given opponent? Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, can you really quantify the correct number of bets to get in with the 3rd nuts in a live 3/6 game against any given opponent?Just because you don't know how to play it (not to mention that I don't know how toplay it) doesn't mean the rule's goofy. It's just a situation one rarely finds himself in.I like the rule. There has to be a betting cap, or collusion would simply be too easy. But once heads/up, having a cap is just kinda silly.

beans422 0 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 i would've bet the flop too. This is online from what I understand...so I definitely cap. If it was live then I'd keep raising till all of my chips are in the pot. I'm also looking at him while I raise of course trying to see if any doubt creeps into his mind. I'm pretty sure even quads will slow down around 7 or 8 raises when you're showing ultimate strength. Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 First off, bet the flop. Absolutely no reason to check a straight flush draw in position there. You've got equity against the field, and you want people to check the turn to you if you miss.On the river, why would you put EP bettor on QJs right away. If he's passive enough to check that hand on the flop, why would he bet it on the turn when he no longer has equity against the field? Try to think about more than one street when making your decisions. I would go at least 10 bets here before I started worrying about a higher straight flush. Do you think quads would slow down this early? That hand makes way more sense than a higher straight flush, and a boat makes more sense than either. Link to post Share on other sites
Briguy 0 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 OMSFG, you really have to raise that until all $400 is in the pot. After the 10th raise or so, I start eyeing the bad beat jackpot display, which will usually handsomely cover the $400 if I have been coolered.This was live, yes? Link to post Share on other sites
