he has ak most of the time
most of time?
you're not sure.
good luck at tables!!!
The only hands that beat you are KK and AA, with AK you have a flip an any other hand you have him dominated. I would call.
I've run into more trouble with mosters and great preflop hands at zoom than ever.This is a zoom game where it's likely the villain has some good preflop hands.
That's why I'm too hesitant to play.
there's usually a reason for that
which is why you start playing on regular tables, so you get reads on players , see what they are showing down and can exploit their leaks, zoom is for action junkies not for people looking to learn how to play poker properly.While zoom can take you up in chip very quickly the same would happen the other day as well.
justify why you felt a min bet was the best way to play the hand . You priced him in to call with all his junk hands by giving him the implied odds to do so , he probably didn't realize that he was priced in either , to him it was just a case of its only another 4bb and i could flop big. he has opened disproportionately big with 6bb so he is claiming that he has a big hand and he is under the gun so should have a strong hand 3x his initial raise so makeThey have been many instances where I try to play a monster or a good hand big and pays the price. Sometimes coolers. But sometimes by very unbalanced players who play shitty hands out of position. But when have the best hand it's always hard for me to maximize my gain.
ex- yesterday I had Aces at BB. UTG raises to 6bb. I raise to 10 BB.
it 18bb for him to continue to play the hand.
at 18bb he no longer has the correct odds to setmine, folds his junkier hands, reshoves with his KK+ and AK QQ either call or shove
See the attitude problem you have here , you berate him for playing junkier hands and beating you , and completely ignore the fact that your terrible play min raising his open priced him in to continue and catch a good flopHe calls. Flop Q 10 something... Pot goes big. I'm putting him in a range of AQ, or Queens to catch a set or perhaps another pair or KJs perhaps..
But no.... he raised and called my 3 bet with Q 10 UTG!!! I mean wtf?
if you play them like you did this hand , is it any wonder? when you bet small to encourage others to continue in the hand don't be surprised when your monster becomes a minnow and their trash become the nuts.I have really bad experience with good preflop hands at zoom.
Again this shows a flawed sense of poker thinking . You are using a default play instead of using the information at hand to adjust your play to the opponent. Against an ultra nit playing 2% of hands your QQ is crushed and you should just fold to his 3bet not 4bet BUT you aren't going to get those kind of reads on nits at zoom without playing hundreds of thousands of hands to get a big enough sample on your villains by which time you or they will have moved upIn a normal cash table Queens would be a 4 bet call. But in zoom, I don't know.... Needs to played more carefully.
I know the example given is contradictory as hell but yeah it goes both ways and I usually am in the under

sorry there was a mistake. I didn't bet small. he raised to 3bb ($0.06). I raised to 10. if he raised 6, I'd raise 18-20.
And you are right. I'm stopping playing zoom. or atleast minimizing it as possible. I do much better at normal tables where I can read the opponents easily. It's slow but works
In zoom there is much more variance.
