Deep stacked with 920 chips behind. 1-3 Live I just emptied out 300
of them on top pair top kicker!! Of course this guy flops a set well I flop a King.

PF:

I raise to 15 from BB with AK
Ugh 2 calls
Ugh 3 calls
Hj calls

Flop comes: Kd, 8h, 3h

I bet 25 from BB position
Fold
Fold
HJ raises to 75

I knew I should have just folded here. I hate this ****ing spot.
This is just such a terrible spot and I'm so sick and tired of folding in this situation. I even told the guy. "You have pockets eights or pocket three's. That's the only hands you can have. He gave me a surprising look. Then I said I call.

I called 75

Turn cards 2s

He bets out 65 chips.

I snap call

He starts saying shit like one more heart dealer come on. One more heart. Rivers the 9 of hearts.

River 9h

He suddenly sits there for a minute. And bets 105.

I call knowing I have a losing hand or he bluffed.

He turns over pockets threes the hand that I put him on..

I know the only thing you can do in this spot is just fold at these stakes. It's just to dangerous to get trapped. Any thoughts.?

You asked, and you've answered already. :)

Next time i wish you more luck. You can maybe play slower next time, maybe to check flop, it was not scary flop so.. you could check and see whats coming. You would lose less chips then. The hand was created for you to lose.
Bigger raise before flop, might kick out pair of 3's i don't know depend on players style.

Flop is a snap-fold, and it's not even close. Turn and river are even worse calls. But I would have thought that a "poker master" who is better than all the "dirt" and "clown" regs here would know that. Lol

AK a strong hand, but it can also be very dangerous when you play with her in early position. After a continuation bet on the flop because of retaliatory actions of your opponents you will see how they are strong or weak in poker and decide how you will play again on other streets. In any case, do not forget to take into account previous game opponents and odds that will help you control the size of the pot.

PF if you squeezed from BB which I think is what your saying you raise too small. Supposing theres 5 limpers for $3 a piece thats $18 already in the pot, you should be making it like $25-30 here. Flop you should be betting around $60 on this board. Then you can fold to jam (unless you have some read in this spot and villain is v. aggressive with draws).

Terribly played.

And so why are you answering? You guys aren't at the level Aaron is:

You clowns don't know a thing about Poker. It's actually, entertaining to read. This gives me more information that I need as to what the mindset of people on the 1-2 or 1-3 tables think. I'm sure though 1/2 the people I play with are way above your guy's level of play. It's actually quite entertaining how stupid some of these answers are it is almost funny ! lol.

I don't quite understand how you got to where you were from the big blind. I assume you had 3 limpers in for $3 each plus your $3 and $1 from the SB making the pot $13 when you make it $12 more. That isn't enough in a cash game. You are trying to get heads up or win the pot right now.

The first limper needs to call $15 with $25 in the pot. What would you fold in his situation? Not much that you would limp with in early position. Once he call the odds get better and better and you wind up with TPTK against 3 callers

IMHO you need to make it at least $30 knowing 3 folds is not a bad result for a drawing hand.

OP is the type of fish I love to see in live games. Super ****y and buys in for the max thinking he is a master player but can't fold TPTK after being raised and fired into for 3 streets and still calls off when the only possible semi bluff villain could hold gets there.

How do you possibly call that river bet? It's not like there are any bluffs / busted draws in his range that would take this line. It's quite obvious he has either a set or a flush here, given the line he took (I'm leaning towards set after he raised the flop). And are there any Kx hands that would be limp-calling preflop and then raising the flop? Maybe K8s and K3s, and those hands still have you beat.

Your bet sizing needs to improve too. You should be raising bigger preflop and making a larger Cbet size.

Also, you should be respectful to MinhANguyen, ConDeck and IPlay. They're all experienced cash game regs who know how to crush 1/3 live and can offer you good advice.

I raise to 21 online, but 27 or 30 live.

As played, bet at least 40 on the flop. Fold to the raise.


I'm struggling at NL2, and I'm still certain I play this hand better than you. :)

Aaron did you have any kind of read on the villain with the pocket threes?
Had he been playing lose or tight?
Taken a bad beat lately?

You know what you did wrong. It's hard to lay down top pair, Kings, Ace kicker.

From such a situation no one is immune. You did everything right, but only up to the opening of ... You do not believe in a flash ... although many players have done the same thing as you(I would have done the same as you). And we must pay tribute to your opponent that came into the game with pocket threes. lucky guy.

But he did everything wrong, literally everything.... Any decent player is most certainly "immune" to that situation as it was so apparent.

what's wrong ? He had to throw before or after the flop?:rolleyes:
Or something I do not understand .... Top pair and top kicker ...
-He bet 25
-HJ raises to 75
-As an option hi had to reraise 150-200
-HJ fold ? NEVER!!!!! )))

-He bet 25
-HJ raises to 75
-And it is hard to quit ..... Only "books" write about what you need to throw ... I would like to see how you played that hand .... In fact, rather than on the forum ...


The main mistake like I said it is a call on the river 105
And lucky guy with pocket threes))

  1. Pre flop - Awful. Squeeze far to small, inviting everyone to call.
  2. Flop - Terrible. Cbet to small, losing value and give any draw a greaat price. Flop raise by HJ is villain dependant, its a fold often, shove sometimes, call very rarely. Again villain dependant.
  3. Turn - Bad. This is very often a fold unless very villain dependant read that he will do this with draws and fire second barrel when we almost always have a K here. If he was trying to fold out a K doubtful villain would lay such a good price to continue. While potodss are good against villains range we arent good here very often at all. EV wise this is probably his least -EV move, but still bad.
  4. River - Horrendous. Everything we beat got there. This is never a call.

River 9h

I call knowing I have a losing hand or he bluffed.

What bluffs could he possibly have?

The answer is none. No bluffs. Terribad call.

Interesting that you choose to post such a hand. Did you want the verbal beating you knew you'd gets as punishment?
Clearly there is a heart draw here so occasionally you have to call down an aggressive player who's capable of raising and betting his draw, but the draw gets there so you have to fold.
You are doing this for a living are not? So do the professional thing.
It's almost seems like a tilt call, perhaps you need to explore a little more deeply into that aspect of this hand.
One of my previous coaches said repeatedly to me. "Go with your gut its nearly always right." Seems a good piece of advice for you....
