This hand happened in my local casino the other night and I would like to ask the members what they thought? I was in lp when this mp player made a raise of 1200 the blinds were 3-600. I had 15000 chips having played quite well and I picked up AK suited (diamonds), I reraised him 4000 it got folded round to him and he took ages asking how much it was to him and umming and arring but he made the call. The flop came with two diamonds and all low cards I can't quite remember the exact cards but they were something like 6-8 diamonds and a blank. He move AI for the remaining 6-7000 of his stack. Now I've got potentially 15 outs twice and make the call he shows a smaller flush draw and moans thinking he's going out however the next card is a 9 making him an improbable inside straight draw something like 5-9 the river failed to make my nut flush draw and I lost nearly 3/4 of my stack leaving me with around 5500, I went out soon after when the blinds went up forcing me to shove. Personally I think the nut flush draw with two over cards is a nice hand and I did have him totally dominated I did not think he'd made anything out of the flop, but do the members think it is better to go AI with the draw rather than call an AI in my experience it is better to bully with this hand than to try and make your draw...thanks all the sniper

Would be interesting to know what all of the stack sizes were (ie. is 25bb's deep in comparisn to the rest?).. and some player reads (esp. villain obv.,... btw, what hand did villain actually flat with pre O.O.P. & for what percentage of their stack??.. cuz it seems like alot for the type of hand they had (whatever it was, lol... a suited 1-gapper?.. T8s? J9s?).
So he basically gets half his stack in preflop?

It's obviously 'generally' better to be getting your stack in most cases but here you're getting great odds & are clearly a favourite over most hands (except for a set but you still have decent equity obv.). It's an easy call.
Besides... you don't have the option of getting it in first (obv), so am not seeing the relevance of it?

thanks orifice i respect your advice you know this, he raised oop with I think 6-7 diamonds just an absolute donk and then commiting his half his stack..well i think it is just my local tourney it's a bit like bingo i think some of them have too much money. By the way I've just finished 230ish out of 5000 or so in the daily $5.50 20k guaranteed so your advice is paying off!! I also lost a big hand short stacked with pp10 when I called an AI he showed 3-k0 and hit his king on the river then got it back a bit and went out with ppkk to an A2o he hit...that's poker but I do wonder about the dealing off online cards I mean it's not a random shuffle is it?

Nice result (large field that tourney... 5,000 players).

As far as the shuffle being random online, I'm not sure about the technicalities of it but do know on Fulltilt it's actually a 'constant shuffle' (cards are in constant shuffle.... so if you saw a flop where your pkt. 66 'would've hit'... it likely 'woudn't have hit' because the cards are in constant shuffle). I'm not sure how the RNG's work on the sites but I've heard the way it's set up it's more random than live (if such a thing is possible??). You can probably find a thread that goes into the technical details of how rng's work (I pretty much know next to nothing on that stuff which is probably pretty apparent, lol).

GL in the next one!!!
