    35 rebuy last night. Blinds 150/300. We are still in rebuy period. I have 15k. 4 or 5 limpers. I limp on sb with Qd7d. (1.5k)

    Flop is 9d8d7s. I check. BB bets 1k. 3 callers. Action on me.

    After rebuy period. I have 50k. I am chipleader. Only 1 player close to me with 35k. Blinds 500/1k. I get QhQd UTG. I raise to 4k. Player with 35k (tight) pushes all in. Folded to me.


    Cash game later. Effective stacks are 200. Blinds are 1e 3e. I pot to 15 prom the cutoff woth AhKh. Button (tight) calls. Early limper calls. Button says after calling he'd have raised if he'd known he was on button. (45)

    Flop is Kd Jh 9s. Checked to me. I raise to 25. Button raises to 105. Folded to me.

    Hand 1 push if they are tight and might fold, call if they are loose
    Hand 2 is nasty but I think you should call, however there are some players I would fold against. If he could have AK or JJ then call, if not fold.
    Hand 3 Fold

    Hand 1: Stacks of limpers? I don't like pushing 14.7k into 4.5k. Probably just call.

    Hand 2: Prob Fold. You raised UTG, and he made a massiev reraise all in, looks very strong. Depends how tight is tight, and how active you've been

    Hand 3: Prob fold

    I have them all covered bar a calling station in mid position. Rest range from 8k to 12k.

    If this is the 4 aces casino in galway then it's more like a bingo hall then a poker game. People gamble with any draw ie sucker end of gut shots etc. The problem with this game is that for the most part it's a 1/3/6 game with min buy in of 50. At least 2/3 of the table only buy in for 100 or less. The place is cursed, and any regular from there reading this post will 100% agree. Any newbie, no matter how drunk that goes in these always always wins at least a monkey.

    The following is the most profitable play against the regulars in there:
    35 rebuy last night. Blinds 150/300. We are still in rebuy period. I have 15k. 4 or 5 limpers. I limp on sb with Qd7d. (1.5k)

    Flop is 9d8d7s. I check. BB bets 1k. 3 callers. Action on me.

    Only call, if you push you will get at least 2 callers and loose 100% guaranteed. The amount of times big hands flop in there and completely miss is unbelievable - I know this makes no sense as cards fall evenly and +EV etc, but trust me if you pushed, you lost.

    Let me guess you pushed, someone called ya with 55 and hit a non diamond 6 on the turn????

    In saying that I would push everytime :D
    After rebuy period. I have 50k. I am chipleader. Only 1 player close to me with 35k. Blinds 500/1k. I get QhQd UTG. I raise to 4k. Player with 35k (tight) pushes all in. Folded to me.

    Call everytime, it's -EV to fold hands this big in that bingo hall
    Cash game later. Effective stacks are 200. Blinds are 1e 3e. I pot to 15 prom the cutoff woth AhKh. Button (tight) calls. Early limper calls. Button says after calling he'd have raised if he'd known he was on button. (45)

    Flop is Kd Jh 9s. Checked to me. I raise to 25. Button raises to 105. Folded to me.

    I'd either fold or call and evaluate - do you know who the button was?

    Disagree all you want - it's true (actually with the exception of sat nights)

    So you're implying that anybody, no matter how drunk they are always makes money??

    I suppose the person doesn't even need to know how to play...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,049 ✭✭✭The_Chopper


    First: I never said they always make money, I said they always make money the first time they're in.
    Second: I may be slightly exaggerating, however a high percentage of newbies that go in there do win, whether it's the tournies or cash games.

    Do you go in there much yourself? If you do you will know the regulars, and they will 100% agree with what I've said. Hense I call the place a bingo hall and not a card room.

    This is all beside the point anyway - you asked for responses to 3 hands, so don't get side tracked.

    I found out that the blinds were 1/3 and the min buyin was 50, i had 60 so i sat down. lol. left 3 hours later with 450. lol. so yes i agree.
