TampaTitan Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Even if you didn't get your chips in early it would've been hard to come off of your hand in that scenario. Depending on how you feel about your opponent I feel like you still end up playing a sizeable pot and paying them off on the river. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I was obviously kidding but it does seem like you gambled on that hand. You might have flopped the nuts but there were lots of ways to lose that hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all you can do. People draw out on you every day. The game is get it in with the best hand and you win in the long run. Tournaments are so crazy because you see the whole board so much more often. AA vs AA. AA loses a 2% of the time. AA vs every thing else, AA loses even more often. But you always have to get it in with AA pre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I def slow way down after the turn, the flush came, then the river paired the board, I'd fold to anything signaficant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not every day you get a suited J8 the same hand some poor sap also has a non-suited J8, thinks he has the stone cold nuts, and gives you all his chips!

There are so many ways luck comes out in poker, this is true. It's so hard for me to lose big pots early in a poker tournament, it literally took something like this for this guy to double up. How often can you get AA, raise and no one calls you vs. you get AA raise, someone has QQ or KK and you double up, luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number9 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Home games. I play a few from time to time. Rakes are high, no travel expenses. I have a problem I would like some thoughts on. I played a game run by woman who was playing in the game. Also, the banker plays and handles chip purchases. The other night, I played there and a player who I had never seen relieved the dealer on his lunch break. Just left his chips there to save his spot and came back to play after the dealer's break. I played there before and left with some questions about was I playing the right game. I don't say they are cheating, just seems too many players have a common interest. My main game is a good one. A lot more money on the table than this one. All amateurs, only one player maybe really needs the money. Everybody else is farting around having fun.

Playing a home game versus a casino is always the wrong choice. Espeically if you are located in Cali. OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
