    I was playing omaha on VC and I saw a $1500 pot, 3 way all in preflop, the guy who won had overcalled all in with AAAx. I wouldnt even limp with it.

    Raised the pot preflop by $2 with PP Jacks at .25/.50c NL
    I get a caller with 24s amongst many others. flop comes down 5-2-9. He checks, I bet $15 to stop the flush/straight draws and get rid of as many people as possible before the turn/river. He calls my $15 bet with his pair of 2's the turn is a 10. I bet another $10 to put him off the flush/straight draw possibilities and he calls my bet again with his pair of 2's and 4 kicker.

    The river comes -- 4 :mad:

    He then proceeded to lose all my chips by calling with the same rubbish cards hand after hand and calling bet after bet, hoping that his 1 out would come to him until he had nothing left, really ate me up it did, despite the small amount of money involved.

    Who calls raises in a cash game with 24s when it's at least 4 times the big blind? Makes me want to beat someone with the silly stick so it does :confused:

    1) They were suited
    2) They were live cards since you wouldn't raise with 24s
    3) He put you on AK when you bet the flop, he had a made hand
    4) Turn bet was too small to stop him calling

    called a roughly 4xbb pre-flop raise along with three others yesterday in a $10 STT. i had AA and possibly should have re-raised it a bit, but thought that was enough for my purposes. flop comes 8 high with 2 suited. raised all-in to ensure no further risks develop. one caller with 89o who catches that 8 he knew was coming on the river.

    in fairness to him he apologised.

    4) Turn bet was too small to stop him calling

    Spot on.

    The $2 Raise looks like a scared AKo raise. If you didn't want him calling you should have made it $6, sometimes you are better off not getting action from hands such as 24s so you push them out.

    You cannot act sheepish with the rockets it's pure aggression or limp and be prepared to fold. You may lose that's why you have a bankroll.

    Personally i would have raised 6-8 then bet 16 on the flop, he would have had serious doubts then, come the turn if he is still there it's all in.

    QQ Finally came good for me tonight. sitting on a 50c/$1 table.

    I had made a few very lose value calls and won pots with rags so I was branded as a fish at the table. Up to $140

    Dealt QQ UTG I make it $16 to go, two callers flop comes 3 6 10 two spades I lead out and bet another 16, one call and and a raise to 40. I think for a while wondering if I have yet again run into AA, KK or flopped set but I am not convinced so I put a decision to the raiser and caller, I push. Both of them call with the raiser stating that he knows he has lost the pot yet he calls for the the rest of his stack. (he had a stack of around 110)

    Player 1 flips over 810o player 2 88. turn blank, river blank.

    $380 pot.

    Some times you get ul and lose it happens, does not mean that you act all scared and cautious with the rockets, people will pick up on this and will out draw you if you allow them to do it cheap.

    That's only $1 more than I bet -- how is that going to make a difference? Are you both takin the piss or what? :confused:

    It was hardly sheepish play, in fact -- I got punished for being in any way aggressive with my rockets and then this toerag got lucky and hit two pair when I had overpair from the board and was pushing it heavily.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    It was the pre-flop raise that was weak. Your bet on the turn was also an indication to him tha you missed your AK.

    You bet 15 on the flop, then 10 on the turn, that stinks of weakness, never decrease the size of your bet on the turn, if anything you should increase it.

    We are not taking the piss only trying to explain to you why he was still in the hand come the river he was because you gave him signals that you were weak.

    I think you played this fine. If you had had a good few limpers before you made it $2 to go then maybe you should have made it a bit more but as an early position or first raise it seems standard to me. The bet of $15 on the flop also looks fine to me I would imagine with a few callers than the pot was in or around $10 so it's a good strong bet. The bet of $10 on the turn is a little weak as it's giving him in or around 4-1 (+ implied) on his call, though if he thinks (as he must have done) that you're betting overcards he should really be raising. It's just as poor a call as his one on the flop as he's a complete dog to hit two pair or trips (only 5 outs) so you're making money in general from him. So really there's not much wrong with that bet either, I would have bet a little more in case he actually had a good hand or had been calling you with JQ hoping to hit an overcard (and finding an openender) or KQ or something.

    These are the sort of calls that make you money in a low cash game - someone calling you down with a mixture of disbelief and hope of hitting an unlikely (and not nut draw).

    My only criticism would be the relatively small bet on the turn (given that you don't know exactly how poor his hand is) apart from that I think the hand was well played.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    I do not believe the $2 raise is sufficient especially due to the standard of play on that network.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,838 ✭✭✭DapperGent


    I reckon 4x is fine at .25/.50 but that's a personal thing I guess.
