wow i just played a real sick tough hand.50/100 lvl of this tourney. 4 limps to me, i limp 22 btn w 6.6k behind, one blind is in...so like 5 or 6 to the floop. 284r, bb big stack with like 16k bets pot 695, all fold to me, i make it 2005, he turbo shoves w J8.tough hand- Jordan

I think I like calling and folding to a turn bet. It's unlikely that he's going to double-barrel A high here, so I think the play is to call flop and reevaluate turn.

Agree with Zim.

As played, I definitely think the river is a good call since, when you played that line on the flop, when the turn gave you trips and he bet $60, no matter how you play it you are basically giving away you have an ace, IMO. If I were the villian I'd be done w/ the hand on the river unless I boated up or unless I sucked worse than I currently do. Since there are quite a few people that are at my level of suckiness or worse on this planet, you clearly can only call the river.

Looks fine to me. Unless he is a complete donk, you are either way ahead or way behind and I don't see much value in raising river. Pretty much the only thing that might pay you off is a weaker ace and anyone with half a clue isn't calling a 3 bet OOP with ace rag.

[chgocubs99 0]

He might have something like KQ of spades here. His PF call would have been marginal at best with that hand, but then he may just be shoving chips in the middle on the river praying you don't have the ace without much more thought process than that.

Wow. Just played a session of 25NL and won 8 buy ins. there was a guy open shoving every hand for 30 mins. After 30 mins my PT had him down $654 from 25NL

[GabeTheKid 0]

had a good 2 days (well, 1 day if you count the actualy date)...won 3k plus some rakeback and made the month look ok so far...+7k this month so far which is pretty good. Goal was 15 total so i'm kinda on pace...considering i took 3/5 days off the last 5 days...BR is ~67k right now... considering i just bought a new PC 2 days ago, I'm pretty happy with that. Goal for tomorrow is to get PT to finally work cuz it's not importing observed (or not observed) HHs for some odd reason. Also I'm going to download camtasia and get a free trial on this computer...and i'll be playing this dude from CR at 200nl and we'll be recording it (no commentary) and then ill ship him the vid and he'll put it side by side with his vid and ship it back to me...should be fun...anyone wanna play some 200nl just for fun right now? or get a 6max table going just some FCP crew...? let me know if you're in and if you want HU or 6max..ill be trolling around the forum for now...

bleh, im always tempted to call in these spots...i think a fold might be better though cuz most of the time (in my experience) they end up showing the goods

[nutzbuster 7]

2-5 at Bellagio. I have 700.On the button with Kings.BB limps. He has 1800.CO raises to $20. he has 800.I reraise and make it $100 to go. BB calls. CO calls. WTF?flop is Js-10s-3h. BB asks everyone how much we have.....then checks.CO bets out $50. I am sick about the flop but must be good here and thing I am lookng at a flush draw, A-10, A-J etc.I think about the hand for a good minute and feel I will stack whoever hit 2 pair and shove.BB tanks and folds. CO insta calls and turns over 10's for trips. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!gg me.fuk poker.

****NODIHgiueh giupohewthI had a great day this afternoon, +$1600, then -$1900 tonight including $400 that I just unnecessarily tilted off. I was running and playing great the past 2 sessions then I ****ing couldn't do anything tonight, every play failed, I tried tightening up but I was just carddead, and couldn't do anything.

[Ex_Matt 0]

ended up finishing 29th in the nightly 50k gtd. . . ****ing bullshit. some guy raises and called a 3 bet shovel with A3 and turned trips leaving me dead for the river. . . .so ****ing sickening cause I hit my card too.

[mln_falcon 0]

OMG, just tilted off $100 bucks in about 20 hands due to Mac OSX. the Pokerstars software looks pretty enough, but I couldn't change my theme or my style of cards and I went spastic. Rebooted into Linux so I should be ok. There is something about Apple and Poker that just makes me play awful.

why flat call pre? why not ship the 5 bet?

Losing at nl200, down 3 buyins. going to keep playing, but I think I was trying to move up to quickly, going to play less tables, and mix more nl100 in. Played a bit bad and had a bad run.
