Saw your cowboys get beat. Didn't think he flopped a pair of Aces?

You had a real nice stack before that.

So... you lose large chunks of your stack (35% of 12,500 stack at 50/100) when slowplaying KK even after being lucky enough to have the A flop (so easy to get away especially when you have nearly nothing invested),

(32% of 20,300 stack at 100/200) calling all the way down with 55 when the flop brought 3 overs and another on the turn (even though you "never call down with an underpair to the board like the donkeys you post about"),

(30% of 27,700 stack at 100/200) with 47 because you are trying to steal on your opponents limp even though you have 27,000 chips and the blinds are 100/200 (cough),

(100% of 6200 stack at 150/300) and you bust out playing 10-4 for all of your chips on a steal gone bad.

And those are just the hands you lost "chunks" on... some of your winning hands weren't much better.

In the 1st 57 hands you nearly tripled your starting stack and busted out chunks at a time in 4 hands that are so easy to get away from it's amazing.

You don't know how to fold. You can learn from it or you can be the same calibur of player that you are now 3 years from now (as you were 3 years ago).

But I busted you out...LOL...so what does that make you!

Whoa-ho-ho what do we have here:

Fink beats Crapshoot - 0 times
Crapshoot beats Fink - 9 times

Remember what I said Fink...it's all about the weight of the stacks.
The ones you take in must weigh more than the ones you pass on!
It appears mine were pretty heavy and the ones I passed on to you...well let's just say...lighter than a mere feather!

LMFAO! I can't believe you got a response.

You played some hands very nicely, but here are 3 you really need to look at.

One thing you have to be able to do if you slowplay is laydown when its obvious your beat. Ok you raise the flop to find out where you are. Folding or raising there are both OK IMO...calling would have been the worst play IMO.

You raise it a bit too small (min raise looks weak IMO) and he calls but you can probably give him an ace at this point.

Ok so you bet to continue the strength you showed by raising on the flop, I dont mind that (many people would be check folding here after he called the raise but a bet is OK here), but when he calls on the turn you can pretty sure he has the ace and you should probably be check folding the river.

Hate the river bet, what is he calling you with that your beating? not much....then you get raised. Easy fold, but you call. What are you putting him on? a stone cold bluff? his raise is a blatant value raise and a call here is horrible. You could argue you had pot odds but I dont like it atall.

Ok so you have pocket 5's. He continuation bets the flop and you float him. I like the flat call here. He checks to you showing weakness and you try to take the pot down. Again I like that and would probably have done the same, you are making him laydown several hands that beat you here (potentially KJ/10 J...pocket pair lower than Jacks...a 6...he raised from LP so A6 is definetly part of his range) while stopping him from outdrawing you if it was just a continuation bet with nothing.

OK so you get raised and it doesn't work out. Here is where you fold. But for some strange reason you call. Again what are you beating? a stone cold bluff is all...

Then the river call takes another uneccessary chunk.

Dont mind the flop continuation bet here, though the board is likely to have hit the other players with a K and a J...though you make them laydown any middle to lower pair and possibly a J.

When your called on the turn why in hell do you bet?? the guy is pot committed and not laying it down. He called your flop bet and its very unlikely your being floated with a board that had very likely hit your hand considering you raised from EP...ok so you improved to second pair....i very much doubt your being called with anything less than a K considering stack sizes and the strength you showed. Once you bet and get raised you make a crying call which you obviously had to make.

Overall you didn't play too badly but those 3 hands stuck out for me. There was also another hand with AQ that you played badly but i can't be arsed to go back through. I hope my comments helped somewhat.

You certainly showed me with your K6 vs my AJ preflop

Good advice, too bad he wont listen to a word of it
