Inside Straight Draws

ive een playing the micro limits at PokerStars lately(maybe thats the reason for this)....but i have been seeing so many people calling allin ins or large bets on the flop with inside straight draws...like thay have a lot of outs...i had 3 hands were i was called when i pushed wiht top pair and they ened up hitting there inside and i would say something just out of question...i said how could you call that much money when you have 4 outs if that..i dont know it just really irritates me and people are hitting the insides aand keep thinking they are good draws......please someone bring me back to poker reality and tell me inside straight draws are rediculous...lol

key word, micro limits.

either way you are going to have people at some level that will play their hands a certain way and get lucky....

Check out this thread Stop complaining about the poor play of your opponents .

Search these people out and use them as your own personal piggy-bank.

why are you complaining? if they are willing to stack you on gutshots, keep playing them.

oh i def. agree i like there calls but laely theyve been just getting lucky...i dont mean to complain so much but i just but having coincidental bad luck with people hitting insides when i bet aggressively enough for people not to be playing those hands

well as you can see in my sig. my Bank roll is not to healthy but i gave my friend 10 $ and im trying to make a run at it.

Go upward and onward in limits young man...

well thats the plan lol dont really wanna go downward and backward lol
im doing better i dont expect to drastically raise my br i mean i buy in for 1 $ so ....but im moving up slowly!

without fools like that it would be a lot harder to win money, let them keep callin you will win a lot more than you lose.

im not mad cause theyre calling like i said i like the calls its just lately they win everytime just a bad luck streak im sure just venting here a little...trust me i tell people plenty of times the same thing about wanting fish to call with draws like that so ill be alright..

You've almost doubled up your $10 and in less than a week. That doesn't sound like someone who's suffering from an amazing streak of bad luck.

no not an amazing streak of Bad luck just some bad calls that hurt a little but i clawed back im down to 15$ again though...

Nothing feels worse for me , Then when some donk calls a huge bet. Then hits a 4 outer on the river. Just stick with it. Also make a point to remember your big wins when someone called your huge bet while he was drawing dead.

If it's any consolation I couldn't read the other players to save my life today. I must have had low blood sugar or something. Was playing like an idiot, didn't deserve to win but after 2 rebuys managed to do a tad better than break even.

It just occurred to me...

Aussies are a day ahead of us. Kiwis too I think. Which means...

Crap! I think I lost to some Aussies and Kiwis who were a full day ahead of me in getting over New Year's Eve.

Lucky southern hemispherians. I know it's not a word, but it sounds good. Hemispherians.

Drawing to the inside straight was the correct move in the wsop me in 1980:

With Brunson having set the line on Stuey at 100:1 prior to the tournament, the match up offered the Kid his desired revenge. Brunson was the favorite at 6:5, despite Ungar having the chip lead $400K- $300K. Ungar wanted a piece of that action; Brunson stepped up and accepted his $50K wager.
The final hand of the tournament started with Doyle limping on the small blind to make the pot almost $13k. The A-7-2 flop gave Doyle top two pair, while Stuey had only an inside straight draw. Ungar checked and Brunson bet $17k. Against most players, he’d have taken the pot down there, but Ungar made the call.
The turn brought the Kid’s miracle three, giving him the straight. He immediately bet out for forty thousand, knowing that a check-raise was more likely to scare the Texan away. Brunson paused for a moment and declared himself all in, pushing $275k into the pot. He’d later call it “one of the worst plays of my career.” The straight held up, and Stu Ungar had his first world championship win.
Here’s the beautiful thing about this hand: For the call of $17k on the flop to make any sense, Stuey had to figure he’d be getting paid off at 11.5:1. Put another way, he had to be fairly certain he was getting more than $150k from Doyle’s stack into the pot if he hit the turn. Stuey only called because he knew Brunson’s hand was strong enough to ensure an all-in if Stuey caught his straight. For the call to make any sense, Stuey had to have a surefire read on the greatest player of his day in this, the second tournament of his life.
