| SICK CALL AND SICK LAYDOWN Sorry for bragging about this on this forum but I just had to let it out. Can't keep it to myself of how proud I am of making great decisions. I had pocket 4s, hit a set on the flop, slow-played it but got myself into trouble. But when I was faced with an all-in bet, I instant-called because I said to myself "U f--king kidding with me? First, u pretend u have top pair, and now, you pretend you have flush? I don't trust yo ass" and called instantly and won. sick call.JPG (http://www.cardschat.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22680&d=1250144857) Here's the result result from sick call.JPG (http://www.cardschat.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22681&d=1250144857) Everybody was talking about it saying WOW, SICK CALL while the guy who lost a big pot kept saying I made horrible call. And then next thing I know, I get pocket Queens. The guy who lost big pot to me just kept going all-in every hand and kept doubling up. And then later, one of the guys who never played a pot reraised on top of my someone's raise and he was big stack. The maniac who lost big pot to me went all-in. I was telling myself, "ok, i know this maniac is just being piece of s--t but I'm worried about what this guy can have. f--k it. i don't wanna even coin-flip this thing. i'm folding this. I'll let them go heads-up and let them dog-fight. i'm folding my queens" QUEENS LAYDOWN.jpg (http://www.cardschat.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22683&d=1250144935) And then here's the result result of queens laydown.JPG (http://www.cardschat.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=22682&d=1250144857) I was just killing this table and reading everyone like a book. I felt like a genius during this time when i laid those queens down. Sorry for being a cocky bastard but I'm just full of myself at the moment that i had to take screenshots of these and boast myself about it on cardschat. |

| Good fold in hindsight, but not as obvious as you make out imo, if the bigger stacked tight guy is a good player he'll see that the idiots been throwing his chips around and may very well make a big 3 bet with anything from TT-AA,AJ-AK, which in his eyes is plenty to get HU with the donk with. Your equity against this range with QQ is 58%, would you have called with AKs?? I know the hand history isn't up there but i get the feeling you murdered the 4's hand from start to finish lol I don't think it was a great call on the river tbh, he puts in a pot size shove on the river which is exactly what you want to be doing when you have the ace or king here b/c it gives good odds to villains that have usually put in a large portion of their stack, it ensures that people with lower flushes......... get their money in and you take it down, what really shoves here that you beat??? He's either beating you, which is the outcome with the greatest possibility, or he's got air, very rarely imo. You made the call and got lucky that you caught him the 10% of the time that he's bluffing here i think. NEVER slow play at 2-10nl imo if you do your usually missing out on a full three streets of value against most opponents who will pay you off light as shit!

| re: SICK CALL AND SICK LAYDOWN poker If the villain is pushing around so much it would be fair to say that his range is something like, 55+,A8s+,KQs,A8o+,KQo, the tight guy could conceivably have a range something like, TT+,AJs+,AJo+, put that into pokerstove and you 'could' have like 47% equity against those two players. Imo your perceived equity in the 4's hand has got to be miniscule in comparison but you didnt make the fold there |

If i folded QQ, I would definitely fold AKs. I NEVER call with AKs in 3-handed way or more if there's two all-in bets in front of me unless they're short-stacked. I only play pre-flop all-in with AKs in heads-up only. |

| re: SICK CALL AND SICK LAYDOWN poker very good read's with ur 4's and QQ. Well played!!! A good fold is very important bcos if u were to donk of ur chips by not folding uve lost money and now r chasing. Where as if u did fold u havnt lost any money and are ready for the next hand. |

| I had probably folded the 4's. Even if he did bet and tried to act as if he had top pair, you still would have no idea if he was actually holding a club or not. There was 2 clubs on the flop, so he could have easely pretended to bet for his flushdraw. No idea what he did on the turn, but if he betted I would probably have folded (depending on the ammount). If he checked i'd bet to see if he'd call or reraise. The river would really make me think throughout the entire hand again. If he raised before you, and you called he would could be holding K or A of clubs. If he would have betted on the river & turn, you should have folded. regardless if you think he just had top pair. He could easely be holding a flush A or K high and be slowplaying it. All he needed was any card higher then your 4 of clubs and he'd take the pot. You didn't know you were winning, you only had intuition saying you were. I'm not saying it wasn't a great call. I'm saying it was a call with a lucky outcome. flushdraw & straightdraw on the river should really make you rethink the action that happend on a hand before calling a set. |
