Bad Players On-line Make Me Sick...


Recommended Posts

That was a good play on your part I think. He did call with a 5 kicker. Just don't worry about that, he's a fish.I also have to vent. Last night, I was playing crazy, LAG, and I was allowing people to re-raise me and push me out of pots on purpose. I wanted to be labeled as "soft." I played .50/1 and had about 75 behind me. Picked up pocket 9's on the button, no limpers behind me and raised it up to 3.50. I get called by the BB. $7.50 in the pot. Flop is 6-7-8 rainbow. Great flop for me. BB checks to me and I bet 5. I wanted to seem like I was just trying to steal with AK. He calls. $17.50 in the pot. Turn is a offsuit 2. Another beautiful card for me, right? I bet $15. Thought about shoving but he could have easily been playing 6-7 or 7-8. He calls. I know realize he has an open ended draw that he hopes to bust me on. I didn't think he had a 5, more likely a 9. So, their us 37.50 in the pot. The river is a 9, giving me a set, but also putting a 4 card straight on the board. I check, how could that card really have helped him? I thought he was a decent player, so he couldn't have been playing a 5. Just too donkish for that level. He bet's $20. I think, then call. Any ideas of what he had? He had 10-8. I was pissed. He had 4 outs. Two 9's, two 8's. 16% on the flop and he is donky calling with 2.5-1 odds on the flop, 2.2 - 1 on the turn, which he was 8%. Should have been getting atleast 12.5-1 in order to be calling. Then spikes a 4 outer. WTF are people thinking? I realize he had a decent drawing hand, but he didn't even think that he was beat for a second. I had a monster hand on the flop. WTF. Please critique my play. Tell me I did something wrong. I need something to cheer me up.
As I was reading this, the only hand i can see him on is T8 or 9T, perhaps a set. In which case you are behind 2/3 of the cases. You made mostly pot sized bets, which is ok, but this is just a bad beat.

You want him to think you have AK and that his pair of 8's is good, then you whine when he does think that and spikes you? Better question to ask does he bet anything but a str8 with that board, only hands you can beat here really is a bluff so if he isn't a bluffer you wasted 20 bucks on the river. have to know what he is capable of. and if he is capable of bluffing on the end call and move on. but he could have flopped 9T and been slow playing. You hit your cooler card move on and don't worry about it.

Speaking of respecting raises, I flopped an OESF draw at a $1000 table last night. I had 1700 in front of me, and get it all in against a guy who calls my all in of $1000 on a board of 76K 2 hearts with 44. I had 98 2 hearts. So I have 9 hearts, 8 str8 cards, and 6 pair cards. 23 outs. And hit none. Man, I need to stop getting drunk and blowing a sizable portion of my roll.
21 outs, unless you want to count 10h and 5h twice...

Thank you for the critique. I hit a set on the river though. That's the only reason I called.

I wouldn't really call getting it all in with 21 outs "blowing it".

I am curious what people really think.He has 15 in, the pot should be around 35$. That leaves him with 33 dollars.One over should he put out a bet of 20 then fold 13?check and fold to a big bet because of one over?I don't necessarily think he is behind most of the time here.Does someone want to answer with a real analysis?Maybe not but, but I thinkit is an intersting decision on how it is to be played against a maniac.
Against a maniac, you're pretty well not folding this hand.If he is loose, bet and let him call.If he is aggressive, let him hang himself by checking/calling or check/raising. An aggro maniac will bet a ton of hands when checked too here.

It is when you are playing way out of your roll, that that person, clearly. Although getting it in wasn't the part he blew.

If you do that when you get drunk what do you do when you are sober fold top set?

Yea, I mean he's wrong to be there, but once he's there he did the right thing.

if you decide that you are not laying down your hand then you might as well go ahead and put him in rather than check and call. but I don't think it is to much of a diff either way, it really is close. Many players don't fold to one over in a HU pot as the scenario was described both good and bad players. If you dont want to have to make decisions or plays like this than go ahead and find yourself a game where you can be deeper stacked and would be able to check/fold the turn rather than have to commit all your chips on the flop.

I was at a cash table playing $0.50/1.00 blinds. I got about $48 and have been on a cold deck for about 25 mins. there is a guy who is crazy aggressive on the table. One minute he has $50 the next he has $100 then $50 again. Im on the button with QQ, BB raises $2.50, crazy player re-raises to $3.75, I then re-raise to $15.00 to finish it off there. BB folds & crazy guy waits ages then calls. Flop is 7,3,K.. I push all in & he calls. He had K5.With hindsight it sounds like a loose push from me but this guy had been playing sooo loose that I genuinly thought he had 44 or A 10 or some other rag hand Ace.Whenever I get my bankroll going nicely something like this happens & I find it so disheartening!!!
Please just die.

so your bankroll was 5x that of your $50....meaing your playing .5/1 with $250???you obviously suck at bankroll management. You should have at least $2,000 before playing .5/1

Clearly you are not a gamboolaya specialist. Poker is all luck and gambooling anyway. OP is gambooler. You're not. NIT.

Your push and description reeks of tilt.Pushing when the flop misses your hand is never advised. Indeed, all he needed was a single King to beat you.
