fold pre-flop

ditto - fold pre-flop

ok maybe i should have folded pre flop but but I got what i was in the hand for....and then SHAZZAAM 10 outter NAILED should never slow play sets in a 3 or 4 way pot....

just trying to vent a litle bit because it was 3 AM for me and it was deeeep into the tournament

If you're not familiar with "The Gap Concept", Google it.

It's not too bad. You haven't been playing long at Stars if that was bad. And, you can't blame 'em for not folding trips with a possible straight out there. People can't fold K's and A's most of the time. Just be glad it was only a free roll. I was on Stars last night playing micro pot limit. People bet with "nothing" from flop straight through, only to out me with a flush on the river. Happened twice in fifteen minutes. It's sick over there sometimes. Nothing you can do though I guess but to move up in limits or buyins I suppose.

"freeroll"

I don't believe there was a raise in front of him. He limped in with the hand. Gap concept really doesn't apply to limpers, as he is not calling a raise with his hand.

Not that it is a great call in the first place, but "starting hands" would be applicable here.

Fold preflop, even in a freeroll!

I just KNOW i'm going to be blasted for this... but he DID flop his set... he *did* make his hand... from his perspective, maybe it was a little short-sighted not to see the potential straight in play there, but I know I've played my sets stubbornly a time or two and had them pay off more times than not.

My 2 cents:

The limping with 98o isn't so bad when you consider the antes make this a bigger pot although raising would have been better as you had position. Due to the pot size + position you could argue that folding here is worse than limping - discuss!!

Post flop you were unlucky although this is a minor bad beat in reality...its not exactly a runner-runner. I once got dumped out of a tournament to a guy who who needed to hit queens on both turn and river and did. These things happen, you'll bounce back no worries

I buy into one of Chris Furgusens rules here...

Pump it or Dump it...when you come in with nobody in front of you....you raise.....I almost ALWAYS do this....it's very rare that I won't raise when I bring in.

I dunno if it was that sick - he hit his set on the flop, he was ahead then, and he had more outs to improve after that than you did.

dThat sucks cuz the same thingf happen to me but i was in the top 27 i hat the nuts after the turn he had 6 2 a pair of 2's i bet 500 he call on we went on the river he went all in i hade to call thought he was trying to steal the pot NOPE full house 2 over 6 i was mad as HELL

the only time i wouldnt bin a hand like that is in the big blind or in the small if there aint any raises (for a cheap look at the flop)

yea so basically the BEST HAND won that pot....89 off????...i know u had chips but u couldve lost numerous ways....j8 the boat...a heart flush draw....u expect him to throw away a set??? from the flop...he cant and wont unless he believe us came in playin 89 lmao....

so ur sayin u dont pay attention to position?....if ur sittin on AA and four have folded....you raise?...for what?....to lose a potential pot?...raises serve one purpose to BUILD A POT...if u raise and only come back with ur own chips and blinds ur play was faulty...u couldnt read that they were weak and wouldnt call....play a lil more conservative ull have a little more luck

Too much emotional content. It`s only a card game.

At the turn, you were roughly 80/20 favourite. The river card is going to beat you around one time in five. It`s disappointing when that happens, but you need to shrug it off and move on to the next game.

Tilt is -EV.

Horrible, horrible advice.

People who limp consistently with AA are the people who come here moaning about how they never win with it.

i agree, coming in with the 98 is not so bad, specially if u been showing tight image, raise would have been better than limping, but the 7s would be coming with ya and u in same situation. But IF he folds, you pick up the blinds and antes and move on. after the flop, the hand was playd as it shouldve been, on ur end...(ck by the set, settin trap?) and u got unlucky....you will bounce back, we all do

welcome to the wonderful world of online poker, where AMAZING suckouts occur with alarming regularity...you did not do anything wrong, caution should have guided the other guy, but there is always the slim possibility that the board will pair and your str8 may get trumped...i would imagine that if you have been playing for any amount of time you have been on the receiving end of one or two suckouts, and that when it flows the other way it is, of course, evidence that the universe really is a warm and fuzzy place where RIGHTNESS prevails

you have to fold pre-flop on this one for sure

amen.

well I limped in because of the pot odds but I always over value that....it wasnt sick or disgusting I was just venting because it was so close to the money....if i was in the final 500 I would not have been as mad because i didnt sit there for 3.5 hours...
i didnt intend to say that i am an unlucky person who always gets beat, I was just venting and I am not sure why i even posted this here in the first place....

whatever GL at the tables everyone

this is the single worst advice I have ever read on this forum.

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself, better to post your frustration here than go on tilt in a cash game or something. GL at the tables as well

i am pretty sure J8 didnt beat me, if it did then full tilt should be sued....take a look at the HH again

and your advice with AA is possibly the worst advice i have ever heard...you still playing play money?

This is sig worthy.

LOL I knew I liked you for a reason! YES this is definitely sig material!! ROFL!!

Where's the other Rob? He used to be a grammar cop before he became a fancy pants.

Why do you refuse to spell out "you"? It's odd that you would correctly spell most of the words in your errant post but be frightened by the ignominious "YOU". So you instead chose to use "u", "ur" and "ull".

I am almost speechless. Almost.



My spellcheck just imploded on "ull".

: points to Sig::

I said ALMOST ALWAYS.....but would I raise with aces....yes most likely I would.....I'd prefer to grab a pot preflop, than lose like this guy did ANYDAY......I came to find this post because I had a feeling that the sig had to do with this post.

Aces you almost always do what?? Win a little or lose alot, a 3x BB raise shouldn't scare off AK or KK.

Heck even if you raise you'll occasionally get the guy with 23suited to call....and end up losing.....

oh. my. god.

i less than three you. yesh indeedie.
