Can anyone beat this for dumb play? I was playing in our usual Friday night game in Ballinasloe 3000 stacks early part of the tourney blinds are 50/100. SB calls BB no raise every one else folds. flop is 4c 5h 7c check, check,
turn 6c,SB bets 600 BB calls. River is 8c I comment quite loudly to the chap beside me that it would be nice to have the 5c for the straight flush. Anyway SB bets 1500 and BB folds and then shows 5c Ad, poor chap quite new to the game(obviously) not only missed out on doubling up and the high hand he got a fair slagging for the rest of the night.

playing CHL's 50 dc a few weeks back. 12 left, blinds are up around 200-400. pot develops between me and player to my left. I raise with AdQc. flop is Ac 3c 5c, i bet. he calls, turn is a blank, i bet, he calls. River is 2c and i bet a small amount, like 1k into a 6k pot. he thinks and folds. i show him the Qclubs... he nods and shows the 4c... he was out soon after. felt kinda bad for him actually cos he was playing well but this hand just tiltem him hugely!

Great read, SB was surely holding 9c 10c.
Great fold.

Jackpot thursday night.

I have 6-6 on the button and the entire table limps to me. I make it 15 and SB and UTG +1 call. Flop is 6cKdAc. Result. SB bets 30, other guy folds and I raise to 90 (he was a serial flush chaser). SB calls. Turn 9h. SB checks. I bet 100. SB thinks about it and calls. River Kd.

Now SB checks but I only have 140 left so I put it all-in so I don't have to show as much as anything and turn to him and say, "I haven't got a King, if that's what you are worried about" He thinks about it for about 3 minutes and calls with QcJc for Queen High!!! "I didn't think you had it" was his justification. Brilliant. Surely a dismal call beats not fully understanding your hand?

This must of made up for the guy rivering the 2 pair on ya right at the start when he caught the 3 on the river

Like you wouldn't believe. Doing renditions of "Oh happy day" once I'd realised what an abysmal call he'd made.

there was this home game once were one of my mates made a call with middle pair on the flop. as the turn and river got scarier they all checked. my mate, phil, then open folded on the river, when it turned out he would have been chopping the pot. he lost about 7k by doing this, if i remember correctly. donkey!! eli still laughs about it!

I've seen people folding to a massive overbet on a board of 6666A

Also seen the same on a board of 10c Jc Qd Kd Ah

I remember a home game before where this guy i'd never played against before was going into the tank constantly before making huge raises or folds. He hadn't shown down a hand hardly at all in the first half hour and I was worried about him - until - in a heads-up pot on an unpaired board with 3 hearts he went into the tank for 5 minutes and called a 1/4 pot size bet on the river with Ah7h. Then he limped UTG and it was folded to the BB who checked. Some flop came out and the BB checked. Yer man goes into the tank for a few minutes again and folded. What in the jayzus he was thinking about every hand I have no idea.
The hands he raised were funny too. He'd think for five minutes like he was doing some massive calculation as to the exact right amount to bet. Then he'd bet ten times the pot or 1/5 of the pot or something weird. It was like there was a roulette wheel of possibly decisions spinning in his head and after a few minutes his brain would shout STOP and he'd do whatever the wheel had stopped on.
He also said he had designed a bot to play online but it had lost him $200. I don't know if he actually did or not but I burst out laughing when he said it. Then I felt like a prick because no one else laughed

A few Sundays ago I witnessed the following hand.

A huge SE fish is involved in a hand with two other guys, he has the nut flush draw on the turn and has position. The pot has roughly €35 from previous streets. First guy bets the pot leaving about 40 behind, next guy raises to €80 leaving 8 behind, big fish asks both what they have behind obv assessing his available implied odds :rolleyes:, figures they're sufficient and calls the 80 leaving 80 behind. River bricks, OR sticks in his last €8 and our friend folds getting 35/1.

I'm guessing there wasn't two Kd's in the hand, not sure what happen here, did he not notice he has the flush (which was still behind to your house) and made a hero call with a believed Q high.


Folding a straight flush is pretty bad, but it you don't notice you have it, you don't notice.



Last Weds in the jackpot, on a J high, rainbow, no straight board. Super Nit in seat one, check, flat calls the river with JJ. :eek::eek:
