Re: Some lessons are cheap.......

since were telling stories--playing live one night at the casino. We've got a medium sized pot going. I have a straight and the nuts. So at the river i'm heads up to the GENTLEMEN to my left. He calls my last bet and says "whatcha got"? I showed him the straight and then without even...

Re: Some lessons are cheap.......

Boy, does that suck. My condolences. You shouldn't feel stupid--just regret, of course, for the lost pot. It's never happened to me, but I have heard many stories like yours, invariably from the player who had the best hand, realized it after sweating out a scary board, and excitedly fired down...

Re: Nuts flush draw. Check, call or raise ?

In the second situation, if the flush card hits the turn and you check with the hopes of a CR, it's likely everyone else will check behind you in fear of the flush, costing you one or more bets. You might as well bet the turn. Someone (or more than one) will call, particularly those with outs against...

Re: Nuts flush draw. Check, call or raise ?

I would most likely just call instead of raise. By raising you aren't going to get a free card on the turn if it doesn't hit as easily because there are so many players. But more so, by just calling, if it does hit, you are hoping the same player bets because then you can get callers in between...

Flush Chasers - Funny Hand

Rather interesting hand, something I don't think I have ever seen before. This is in a 15/30 ring game. I was dealt UTG and raise to $30. The guy behind me calls, someone behind him calls, the button calls, both blinds call. 6 players seeing the flop. The flop is Checked to me, I bet, called by all...

Re: Kids, don't try this at home.

I think subconciously I knew I was beaten after he reraised the 1st time but it may have took a few more bets before my concious self stopped raising. Probly put 120-140 in on the river. Fold K,J when you flop 2 pair and river a boat!! Sage advice in retrospect, eh.

Uh, Stephen.... how many bets did you put in on the river with that K/Jo? ;) You didn't note that, I have a feeling you went a little overboard LOL!:)

Re: Kids, don't try this at home.

Actually, there were 2 reasons for my play in the 2nd hand. First, the player was a total fish. Don't know if I could explain it but I knew I had him if a heart came and considering my added outs by hitting a pair I had 15 cards that would help me on the river. This is a tricky hand to explain because...

Re: Kids, don't try this at home.

You did get lucky on the second one, but, it makes up for the first one. I wouldn't play suited connectors in the BB, let alone suited unconnectors. That's a two gapper that makes a shitty flush if you ain't the only one out there. an 8,9,J,K,Q,K,A beats your flush. I'da hung for some...

Re: Some fun hands!

In limit poker, if 2 players go to the river heads up, the # of raises allowed is unlimited. I've seen this in an Omaha game where one person had quads and the other had a str8 flush. The game was 8/16 so it took a while for them to raise to get all in. Lady never did figure out she was beaten until...
