Title: Should the river card be banned? Discuss........ Post by: Dingdell on September 05, 2005, 02:34:44 AM I have just travelled all the way to Birmingham to play in a satellite for the Celebpoker game on Tuesday. 7 players left, three tickets available. Me short stacked - go all in pre flop with with AQsuited - a good bet I think.
The inexperienced 'I've only played in two games before' decides to call me because he doesn't want me to go out - he will double me up.......... he has 5 10 of diamonds. Another short stack goes all in - he has nothing also. I AM AHEAD All blanks but a growing flush draw for the diamonds and yes he gets his flush on the river. 1. Why did he have to be so chivalrous? Or was he being clever? 2. I nearly always lose if I go in ahead - when I'm behind I win all the time ;-( Should we A) ban the river card for all on bets? and B) was I right to let his tyres down?

Title: Re: Should the river card be banned? Discuss........ Post by: TightEnd on September 05, 2005, 12:17:06 PM Hey James, thanks for your help yesterday
Tracey, you're a good player, have hardly seen you make a wrong move for months. I'm surprised this sort of thing bothers you! P.S Do I get a free treatment now? Title: Re: Should the river card be banned? Discuss........ Post by: Dingdell on September 05, 2005, 12:27:11 PM Aaaah - thank you - really nice thing to say :)
I guess I was miffed because the palm beach who are a stanley casino too decided not to run satellites - and that would have been a proper game with proper players.... if you know what i mean? I really wanted to play the £100K gtee on Tuesday but didnt want to pay £1,000 to enter. Still I have a great alternative now...... ;D Tracey PS - Free treatment - of course - as long as you agree to the web cam...... :o Title: Re: Should the river card be banned? Discuss........ Post by: londonpokergirl on September 05, 2005, 12:29:22 PM Also I know this may sound bad , but if i'm getting good odds to call a bet even with J9, 79 , 52 etc I'll call to try knock somebody out because unless they have a pair you're 60/40 shot most of the time.
Last night online took somebody out with 73o against their KQ but i was getting 2.5/1 to call it which I did go on to win the tourney Sounds harsh but it works for me Title: Re: Should the river card be banned? Discuss........ Post by: Dingdell on September 05, 2005, 12:31:31 PM I agree - absolutely - but only when I'm doing the calling - you know how it is!!
:D Title: Re: Should the river card be banned? Discuss........ Post by: Maroon on September 05, 2005, 12:47:11 PM Spot on Londonpokergirl. I was short stacked recently with two tables left. At-it merchant puts me all in and I call with K-10s. He winces when he see my hand and he shows .....4-2o. I go out when he paired his 2 and I go to the rail thinking "Bad beat".
I later put the hand through the odds calculator and find out it is a much closer situation than I ever thought. I keep learning. :D |
