pair of tens is OBVIOUSLY good here.... i should have pushed river, what a horrible call by villian?

 

[twizzybop]

Like a,10 is a great hand(insert saracasm here) and betting on the turn with a 16% chance of winning .. to think you call it brutality with your wild calls and bets?

 

[Dingodaddy23]

I knew the A-10 was good, so i called. "wild calls and bets" I don't really know what to say here except "wow"

 

[Dorkus Malorkus]

How on earth can you 'know' AT was good on the flop, and be able to put your opponent on a flush draw and only a flush draw in hand 1? lol @ instacalling without even thinking about it as well, do you really think a flush draw is all he pushes?

Using the Ace as a bluff card when you will have invariably raised preflop holding an Ace is pretty bad too. If villain is a thinking player, he will be aware of this, and if he's not a thinking player he'll call you with 52o just because he's a donk. Lose-lose situation.

Yeah, respective villains played their hands pretty poorly, but your play was quite bad too.

 

[Dingodaddy23]

alright, i knew ace-10 was good because A-10+ is raising preflop, and i dont think villian is limping with a 3,4, or 5, so he either had a flush draw or a straight draw, easy call.


hand 2. I had a OESD so it was more of a semi-bluff, and why would i "invariably" raise preflop with a weak ace?

i don't feel I need to defend my plays, I posted this more to illustrate the horrible plays people make in these.

 

[Beriac]

I dunno man. I just don't think the plays you made are as "obvious" as you suggest they are. Not that you have to justify them, but that in and of itself takes away some of the bite of a "look how some villain was" post.

People sometimes assume that villain plays it wrong when he doesn't fold to hero's "perfectly represented bluff", but other things like hero's table image inevitably affect the chance of success, not to mention villain's level of sophistication. I make it a rule to nearly never bluff in very low stakes games.

As the great Doyle Brunson and other great high stakes players have said [paraphrasing], "boy, I could never win at low limit online Texas Holdem".

No offense intended! I don't think your plays were bad per se, just not "slam dunk anyone-would-do-this" obvious.

Cheers
