Only played against Pete twice, and yeah he's very tight.

When you've played against him what has your image been? I.e is he aware you're a lagtard or have you managed to not show down too much?

Normally I guess this would be a crying fold, but the speed with which he moves in makes me want to call. Could he be turning the Ad into a bluff?

Hmmm bit of a fuckery this one, think it may be a sigh dwell fold. (I call).

I don't understand why we raise the river?

ok im going to write it all again so be patient guys

had to post that bit cos as u keep busting my balls an the first 1 i wrote got lost so boo hoo, not sure which 1 was better but firts 1 was more funny ok let me get back to it

Only played wt Mitch 1 time before an hes a really nice guy an plays poker well considering ive seen him loose both times! Suppose im flattered to be called a NIT an for this hand to be talked about so ill give u my 15 years expierence on the matter...... I played a week earlier wt Mitch an had played extremly solid which i like to do in general!! Had just retired from online poker due to big downswing even though i had amaased £80000 in live touneys in thelast year an still came out losing? Yeah wierd considering im suppose to be cash game pro ! But felt had to retire from the virtual world of short handed plo an revert back to basics of NL hold em....... Really is a great game to learn the value of £ again after all those numbers online an just 3an 4 betting wt hands like 6789 or 258Q in plo lol an not being able to pass!to the grind of live mid stakes 9 handed NL hold em needing the patience of a tortoise to succeed.Great to get my game back an most importantly confindence.OK here goes i sit down wt £1000 after busting out of irish sattelite an after 10 mins i find the BIG CHARRA, Yes they named a hand after me after india storra was abusing me on felt i did a sick play wt a hand in the £3000 gukpt main event.John eamess,Matt perrins, Jake cody,Tom macdonald an Stuart rutter now called me Big Charra which is  8h 5h. There was a straddle an i opened for £35 but it wasnt suited a big no no ! a brummie lad on tilt an short stacked repopped it to £100 an a calling station called so i decided to not get involved as i have a tendecny to have to win the pot at all costs wt this hand an as fate has it, tilty boy floped trips so i dodged a bullet!!! So 2 hands later me an mitch play this pot where i rasie utg wt  Ad Ts to £15 an soon as i saw mitch look at his chips i always knew he was 3 betting as he had me down as really solid wt abc gameplan! An i had him down as another young gun an had seen many of his kind in my life an knew how to handle them! Called his reiase wt no hesetation as knew he was raisng me light an that he had a plan to outplay this NIT but i had other plans.When the flop came i was 90% certain i was in front an elected to check call even though 4 a split second i almost raised but i thought out of postion ill play a small pot as i had a rough idea how his betting would go if he didnt have a real hand. The turn came  8h an i didnt really like this card as my range of hands i put him on preflop were mid cards like 9 j or 10 j or 9 10 some sort of gutshot so i think i would fo reraised had he bet the turn big to commit my hand so he couldnt bluff me but he was smart an checked so now i knew i was niles in front an when the river  8d i actually thought it was a blank. An i threw £100 chip in not as a stopper bet really but as a value bet but in hindsight might of been a bad bet from me as what can he call me wt ? but it gices him the chance to reraise wt air but the check check on the turn made this hand interesting. ill post this bit an then type the next bit ! long winded i know but quite fun as never post ! x

Is Frankie helping you write it?

so after 5 secs i threw in the 8 £100 chips in s stlyish manner that oozzed the NUTS an to be honest if anyone had the nuts an u did a survey in the uk they would show big charrra had the NUTS!

I later got Mitch to stack off wt  8d 9d against my Ad Ac for another £650ish misreading my physical tells causing him to get it in pre ! I obviously  mentally drained him but im sure next time he will teach me a lesson.

Only played wt Mitch 1 time before an hes a really nice guy...

Gave up there.  Haven't got a clue how to play poker and couldn't possibly help.

Gave up there.  Obviously a misread.

wow he played this hand ridic bad

Also I hate the raise on the river. You say he's a nit so what do you expect him to call you with?

I can't speak for anybody else obv, but I consider calling someone a nit is a compliment.

Ok im not going to use the term nit anymore because i think Petes becoming personally offended by the term. Hes a very solid player, but thats doesnt mean that when he gets into a hand with AQ AK, J10 of diamonds (and makes a flush) he is just going to pass because ive raised him on the river. The tightness is mainly in his hand selection pre and his non willingness enter a pot with raggy hands or connectors when not quite getting a good price etc etc. I guarentee, and Pete will probably confirm, that if he has any of these hands in this situation he is 100% paying me off when i raise the river.

I can't speak for anybody else obv, but I consider calling someone a nit is a compliment.

Do you think he bets the river though or just check / calls?

And Pete, the term nit isn't offensive. At least it isn't when I use it. Just means that you aren't a lunatic.

When the flop came i was 90% certain i was in front an elected to check call even though 4 a split second i almost raised but i thought out of postion ill play a small pot as i had a rough idea how his betting would go if he didnt have a real hand. The turn came   an i didnt really like this card as my range of hands i put him on preflop were mid cards like 9 j or 10 j or 9 10 some sort of gutshot so i think i would fo reraised had he bet the turn big to commit my hand so he couldnt bluff me

Why do you always make these 5 or 6 word comments and then never add anything more to give a reason why? Or is your word just gospel?
