| | | |  HH was funny i thought
This is the first hand history i have added its a bit long lol
Hand at cake which i found funny due to the chat after. I started the table with $10 and was at $24.80 when the hand in question developed.
(i have added my thought in brackets lol)
Hand #0610080000002638: Pebble Beach 11359
Seat 1: thewise1 (5.00 in chips)
Seat 3: taxijoec (40.05 in chips)
Seat 4: spitoon (3.85 in chips)
Seat 5: capablanca (56.35 in chips)
Seat 6: alphadawg (56.60 in chips)
Seat 7: Ihatespam (55.80 in chips)
Seat 8: ibSue (19.50 in chips)
Seat 9: Raym11011 (24.80 in chips)
ibSue: posts small blind $0.25
Raym11011: posts big blind $0.50
Dealt to Raym11011 [ Ah 6h ]
thewise1: folds
taxijoec: folds
spitoon: calls
capablanca: folds
alphadawg: raises to $3.85
Ihatespam: folds
ibSue: folds
(now this a raise in late position and i up $14.80 so decide to take a look with suited ace on the big blind)
Raym11011: calls
spitoon: folds
*** FLOP *** [ Th 3h 9d ](happy with that flop)
Raym11011: checks
alphadawg: bets $8.05
Raym11011: is all in (good chance of a double up so i take the risk)
alphadawg: calls
*** TURN *** [ Jc ]
*** RIVER *** [ Qh ]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Raym11011 wins $47.85 with Flush, Ace high
wat it didnt show was he had 99 in his hand for trip9's
alphadawg says u suk
" " " " " " " u r so bad
" " " " " " " how do u even put your money in on that bad?
" " " " " " " do u even know how bad u are
" " " " " " " how stupid that was
by this stage i thought i should reply
Raym11011 says took a gamble thats wat i thought the games about
Capablanca says rays not breaking no rules
aplhadawg says do you understand odds????
Raym11011 says yes more than you ever will
Capablanca says alpha leave him alone
aplhadawg says obviously not
Raym11011 says 35% with 2 cards to come
(i answered this when he said his last sentence so quick think it surprised him abit with the speed it came at then near fell off my seat with his next line)
alphadawg says wat about preflop
(now wats odds got to do with my call preflop he asked me did i know the odds so i told him the odds at the time of my bet. preflop odds on any 2hands as far as im aware is only known on TV lol)
alphadawg says 3.85 call preflop
alphadawg says with a ragged ace
Raym11011 says u raised u could have raised with 72? (taking the piss abit now but he could have be stealing blinds)
alphadawg says then u reraise me on a draw have i ever
(ok maybe a bit risky but if i lose i have only lost my $10 i started with thats my take on it)
Raym11011 says u didnt have to call
alphadawg says i had a monster im gonna lay it down? ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
alphadawg says read a book or something
Raym11011 says read a book lol
Raym11011 says u had a monster lol no one tell u monsters dont exist
(really taking the piss now)
Capablanca says hahaha
he went quiet after the last remark lol
my final take on the hand is I took a nosey with semi decent hand on bigblind with only 1 other hand in it and caught part of the flop. The reraise i thought was best option cause if he only high cards he cant call and will lay it down and if he calls im happy to take my chances with the last 2 cards to come.
Your views ?

Well, I can see taking a cheap gamble here and there with draws and whatnot, but there's no reason to risk that much on a 9 outer.

I love the play.....and your reasoning is perfection.....I like the "I only sat with $10 (£6)" bit you played the hand like some one prepared to gamble, and it paid off........not a donk move, but someone playing the odds and there luck IMO....love the banter afterwards BTW. | | |

Sonny, he didn't have the odds. After preflop betting, the pot was $3.85*2+.25 = 7.95. He then called an $8.05 bet to hit his flush. He was about 25% to win at that point. Now, let's say he made an incorrect read, figured he was up against top pair or an overpair other than AA...then his odds are up to 43% or so, meaning he needs 2.3 to 1 odds to break even. He was being given 1.98:1 odds. So, he isn't making money in the long run, and he has no reason to wrecklessly call away his profits for this session!

Quick update
I have never really take anything bad during a game of poker. Get a badbeat I just get on with it. Now this idiot cant let this hand drop and is giving me verbal over it when I sit at the table again with him. I still dont think it was as bad a beat for the amount of whining he is doing.
He started saying U playing A6
thought u put your money in on bad hands all the time
telling me I was a weak player
telling me hes going to bust me
(now this would be a possibility if he ever put more than $10 on a table)
So after so much rambling from him I asked him if he wants to take this to 2/4no limit if i was such easy money which he said I can do if here .50/1 need a few double ups I think I said.
Now I am a man on a mission to show him what a badbeat is. I am going to give him something to moan about lol 72 beat his AA will do I think lol
Hes always telling to me read a book on how to play poker. After I relieve him of his bankroll hes going to be asking me to write a book lol
Never been one to take it personal but Im going to make a exception for him. Some people need to be taught a lesson from time to time and I think he qualifies lol
Many of you will say why dont you just turn his chat off but I have never done this with anyplayer as I like to know what there saying.
Ohhhh the joys of poker
Goodluck all at the tables

I do love all the working out of the % etc.....I'm sure somewhere in my wee little head that some maths are going on when I play poker......but nowhere near the extent that some players go into.....maybe that makes me a worse player than someone who does, I don't know......for me personally thinking about that sort of stuff before, during and after a game takes out the fun of it for me.
Also I am rather simple....heh | | |

I'm not saying that you should never gamble playing poker, I'm simply stating that it didn't make much sense for him - if he wins, great...but if he loses he just lost all the profits he worked hard to earn!

I remember once I was multi tabling on a 25/50c where I only brought $20 up and a 50c/$1 where I pulled $100 up......on the 50/1 table I managed to get my stack to around $170 and on the other table and after a lot of hard work it was sitting at $44 a hand came up where I must of had something like a flush/str8 draw or a pair with a good draw...and I knew going in, I must have been behind, but I gambled my whole stack in the hope that I would of course hit and nicely double up....I didn't and I got busted......but I only made this risky call as I only saw it as doing $20 not $44 as I suppose if I get outdrawn badly then I lost $44 but if I gambled knowingly then I only lost $20 (suppose it helps me to think like that with the dealing of the play) also (although ray may not of been multi tabling) I could see that I already had my $20 covered on the other table with extra, after I busted out that hand, I closed the site down and packed up playing......as I didn't want to tilt the money away on the other table (that's another story, and why I don't multi anymore.)

well there were plenty of plays that i can see wrong....personally 7x the bb is a big over bet for me in any kind of table even if there are callers up the wazoo with 99...a raise with a6h is crazy in any position unless table folds to you and your either on sb or 5-6 position...a call here is not justified you are a 55-45 underdog against his pair at best it is a toss up but hey w/e...and also call from 3 and raise on 5th position indicates someone has an ace with will lower your chance to about 65-35....you did hit the a draw on the flop and he was trying to chase any draws out he gave you about 55% to call to see the next card now you have 9 outs in your eyes with even est odds you have 9*2 always now with 2 cards to go that give you 36%...thats is basically 3:1 and you called est 2:1 meaning in 3 calls like that you will lose money which is why most ppl lose money in the long run....so the play all around if pretty poor according to the math but it all depends on style and you did over come the odds...everyone knows that all poker champs have to have lady luck on their side sometimes...one | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
