A rare HH from me........

    Ok, in the Fitz last night and playing the 50 PLH waiting for the Omaha game to start. I had been at the table for about 10 hands, not paying too much attention tbh, chatting with others at and at other tables, checking out the Omaha list etc etc. I knew a few of the players at the table but not the 2 involved in this hand. The table was very shallow and I think I was second in chips with the 150 I bought in for. I did not get the impression that there were any superstars at the table to put it mildly.

    I had ~140 left when this happened.

    I have black KK in the SB. There are a couple of limpers, one guy makes it 10 from LP, 1 caller from the CO.

    Button folds and I make it 35 to play. LP and CO calls. Both these guys have ~50 left

    Flop comes a horrible AsTs5h.

    I check, both these guys go all in.

    Bearing in mind that this game is this game, I........?

    In this game, I probably wouldn't bother even checking, more likely just open fold due to the popularity of the Ace-rag here. With 2 of them all-in before you, it's a no-brainer fold, but seeing as you've posted the hand, I'm now almost certain you were winning LOL

    Its very hard to call these guys but what were they calling 35 preflop with?

    AA would surely have repopped it?
    AK/AQ are possibilities?
    QQ as low as 55 are possibilities.

    Its a horrible spot but to call is surely bad play. Im waiting to laugh when you tell me what these guys jammed it in with.

    I know you called because you are a sick man Dom and hit a king on the river to make the two lads who were otherwise splitting the pot cry.
    And now you come on here with your la de das and air and graces to mock them.
    You're a sicko sir! :mad:

    3 players, someones has an Ace and it's not you.
    What could they possibly have to call you raise preflop and push & call post flop?
    AA/QQ/JJ/1010 (1010 is very likely here IMHO).
    However, I think you have been Aced and therefore (hate it but) FOLD for me.

    you are a sick man Dom and hit a king on the river

    nah - runner runner flush would be far more impressive.

    I'd say this is about right but there is no way you called here unless you have seriousley loosened up your game since the last time we played!!!

    You have the King of Spades. Call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,754 ✭✭✭ianmc38


    Fold if you like money.


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,859 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Well of course I folded as that is the rational poker thing to do, but as I don't play the weird circuit of poker that is live Holdem in Ireland I wasn't 100% sure that this would be a definite fold. I knew these guys were in all likelyhood muppets, and that is partly why I credited them with A6o or some such monster.

    First all in guy tabled 99, second tabled JhTh and took it down when running QQ on turn and river changed nothing. I think Lloyds use of the word monkey was the most appropriate word in this thread. Five minutes later I got the shout for Omaha anyways and left them to their nit picking (literally).

    This is fairly standard stuff in that game.

    Especially on the weekends.

    yep, after 2 months in that place it's no surprise I said I was never folding that set in the hand you posted :rolleyes:
