The bluffman School of hard knocks

[Dale]

one last story
just before I cashed out got A K on the button and bumped it up to 15 got 2 caller

BB and the same girl from before she got more chips .

Well flop was
A 4 7 ( 2 hearts )

BB checks
Girl checks
I bet 25 into a pot of 50
BB calls and so does girl
flush arrives on turn
BB bets 50 into a pot of 125
girl smooth calls
I fold
She is pot committed so I have no idea why she smooth calls
river is a blank and BB puts her allin with her last 20 chips
She turns over A J the A was a heart (possible 4th heart she had nut flush)
BB tells her if she had pushed turn he would have folded thinking she had better flush than him even so it was only another 20 dollars

Guess his hand
wait for it

yes I from button raised it up to 15 he had a whole 2 invested as BB and he called with

ARE U ready for this


2 3 of hearts
he tells me after word he knew I had A K thats why he made a loose call from BB
The girl left after loosing all her chips for the 2nd time tonight

I decide to cash out because table dynanmics had changed
A few new players had arrived and were very very aggressive

Dale I don't think there is anyway you can lay down KK there. You have seen how bad he was playing and you made the right call but got unlucky. NOTHING you could do there

Thxs .

After he cash out everyone at the table said that I made the right read . He was steaming cause, It was his chips I was playin with .
But dam it still hurt being suckout on LIVE just like online . Thats why I shared the hand .

Maybe not the greatest move in the world....but a standard 3x raise would have been over 1/3 my stack and i would have been happy with the blinds and antes....

[Ezfingers]

I feel your pain Doug! I know its poker. But the odds just don't seem to stand up. Not even close IMO. I pretty much stay even in tournament play. But am generally ahead as you are when the chips go in. Now that im pulling out some hand histories. I will rival you as the UNLUCKIEST on the site!!

One question though Doug. Do you know how to pull up the hands in REVERSE order? Most recent at the top of the screen. Generally when go out later in the game. Making alot of scrolling down to find the hand. Just wondering??
