here's something i do if i find the guy on my left is calling alot of my preflop raise and not allowing me to take his button. i limp in when its folded to me late, this always seems to throw people off and if they're small ballers they aren't going to want to raise light because they expect to be called by a limper. you'll get called by the blinds of course when you limp but you will notice that you have limp stole the button with more ease then when you were raising light. you are no effectively playing ultra smallball. you may be up against two opponents; however, your flop bet is now les

Thank you David, i appreciate you.NonZero-- no I knew they weren't paying attention to any of that but I was and I think that what makes me a winning player in this element. I was hoping some people in this discussion group did though.Excuse me for flipping out, understand I have no one available to discuss these hands with in the casino because they all have little to no experience.No I am not holier than thou in thought, just when you ask a question What's 1+1 and get answers like the paper is white and the ink is black it tends to be frustrating.I've played a lot of $1/$2 NLHE live in my s

And now this guy? The question was about implied pot odds, know anything about those? anyone anyone. I get what the one or two sane answers are saying. But one I can not limp raise serial limpers and I donot vary my preflop raises depending on the strength of my hand. The table wasn't always this insane, two three callers of a raise was normal here. Implied pot odds? anyone? at least tell me how you would play from the flop on, check fold, everyone?

Oh well, the whole point of me posting was to get a discussion going on the implied pot odds that this situation laid. I think my implied odds only coupled with my desire to stack up in order to push around the table made it a good move but it is borderline i'll admit. Yet all i get is what you should have done's. Anyway I won the hand when a 10 spiked the turn, blah blah blah... thanks for the lively debate guys

As played, I dont call with anything less than three of a kind 5s here. I don't mind the check on the turn. And what no one else has seemed to realize the running spades, isn't 4s3s a possible holding. Player unknown I don't think any decent player would use this time to attempt a bluff nor would they be betting because of the Q. Maybe because of the spade or maybe because they hoped for a check raise on the turn and you dissapointed them and they are now betting for value hoping you have a hand or that you don't give them credit for a hand and will call with Ace high.

The Facts$1/$2 NLHE Indian Casino in Miami, FL (9 players seated)Florida has an interesting law where the min and max buy-in for all cash NL games is $100, this casino has a usual $1/$2 game, $2/$5 game and an ever present $5/$10 which at a $100 max buy-in can get shove-arific. I have traveled to Miami just to play at this casino. I am a TAG player Home Run Hitter and swing for the fences with my big hands and rarely just call a raise preflop.As far as the table, NL cash games have only been allowed in the casinoes for the past year. The players were almost all loose passive players, who f

IMHO you're right on most of what you said. About the audible tell i think i did my best to assure you guys from the jump that it was an honest reaction and not an act and that fact CHANGED the way i played the hand. I was planning on checking every possible turn and only check raising if it was an eight, and only check calling if it was a jack. I put him on a wide range of hands and took a chance at getting his whole stack. If my play was THAT bad then fine, i don't agree. I do agree that it was maybe not the ultimate way to play or the way most people would play. I only wondered if AN

Not neccessarily married, but i do agree i played an overpair overaggressively. But thats me, live and die by tight preflop hand selection then all out aggression postflop.

I hear ( or rather read) evertything you guys are saying. My thoughts which were at the speed of play were if i'm behind an eight would give me a double up so i'm risking $150 to win about $800 (of course not the odds i need to go for a gutshot) if i'm ahead he has at most 4 outs to beat me.I figured he would make the play with a lot of hands (pair w/open-ended, 2 pair, TPTK,) and i thought he would welcome in more players with a straight and a set he might let one more card come off to make more money or in case someone had flopped straight.When the turn hit i figure if i'm behind i'm drawin

as an end note, his sigh was real, because he DID not like the turn.alos i hate giving up the lead in a hand.

I have played a lot live and generally i would take that as an act, but i really believed him there. scott i wanted him to call with the 10 9 but fold anything else, which he probably would. I just wanted the table to think i bluffed him off a better had if he did fold a QJ for example. also i wanted to see where i was and if anybody else had even called i would have been worried about a set. His multiple raises of bets with just top pair had me play with him. Anyone else make that same play i put on the brakes.as he pondered a callRESULT ALERT(in white) he shows me the 68 for the dummy s

Thats for the thoughtful post. You're mistaked on a few things and itys my fault. I made one edit to maybe clear it up. I wasn't putting results. I meant if i lost the hand, i also didn't mean just for my buy-in reason. I figured i had alot of fold equity and i didn't want to give on the hand and my table image. At worst case i lose the hand, but i was saying i could live with losing it.Yes his audible sigh was not an act, i was very sure and if you saw it you would agree. It must have been the drugs and alcohol.As far as me not being readable, yes i'm arrogant, also i've seen so many h

Hard to say, but i would definitely call. I think he might have flopped a straight but when you showed back aggression he put you on a set and wanted to make sure the board didn't pair. He definitely doesn't put you on a flush as played. He might also have air or a one pair and is trying to represent the flush now. the one hand i would be worried about is the A9 of clubs otherwise he would be dumb to put in that much money with any other draw. You got the river you wanted, can't chicken out now. If your beat take your licks and move on.BUT CALL. DEF. CALL

maybe, i don't think i'm good enough to fold kings yet. Biggest fold i made preflop is queens. Would depend solely on my read of the player. And if rent was overdue.

I'm in the ten seat and the guy in the one seat to the left of me and the dealer has almost a grand when i sat down.At this point i had worked my stack up to nearly $800 by crushing the table, i can't even recall losing a pot at showdown or anything i went past the turn. The one seat (villian) stack hadn't changed much. He was leaving the table often to bet horses, smoke ciggarettes and pop pills (no lie).He had als
