the betting increments seem to be small, even so, I think the 4 x bet rule still applies, if it gets to 4 x bet back to you, there is a serious hand out there, even if he has AA preflop i dont see how he can feel his hand is good when you start a cock waving contest with a board the way it is. from your position i would be concerned,

However in the heat of the moment ( spot the Asia reference ) i think its tough to get away as your initial instinct is to get them in here asap.


although factors that would play a part for me here are, my table image and previous action with this player,  With this being level 1 i doubt there has been much action previous to this.

Also,level 1 and its the small blind thats coming along for a 4 x the bb raise, pf, thats usually a playable hand, sb usually completes or folds unless its blind on blind.



WTF!!! your the bloke with the money, you know the answer to this!  i think you just wanted to post a SIKK hand !

£50 in the tin son.

I think you should flat the 5th raise, for deception obviously.

Awesome hand

I'm impressed with the 8 bet jam by Royalbluff. He obviously knew he'd finally got you.

To be fair you probably should pass here because he has got to have you beat.

TT, 3x where x>4 are all he can have imo.

Unfortunately it looks like you were enjoying yourself too much and had no choice but to call.

A pass there would be quality.

I don't see the point in 7-betting tbh, unless you're folding to the 8-bet, and then the 7-bet looks like a wizard play (but I'm still not sure it makes sense).

Think a fold would be fine here.

If I always folded 7-bets to 8-bets with non-nut holdings (assuming I didn't have odds to bink) then it probably wouldn't be a bad thing. Most of the time when I 7-bet I would quite welcome an 8-bet, so folding to the odd 8-bet bluff here and there wouldn't be the end of the world.

Mind you...

[  ] have ever 7-bet in my life.
[  ] understand wtf is going on in this hand.
[ x ] best guess is that you couldn't be assed using the bet slider ???

HH would be so much better if it had a quote from Flushy at the bottom saying, "I didn't think you had it."

James, whats your own self analysis of this hand with hindsight, you think you can fold?  think you could have played it differently ?

I thought it was pretty damn funny! Obv by the time he jams i know i am fucked but what difference, in hindsight its funnier to pass to the 8 bet so i will do that next time.

Played another good one last night where i tried to induce a 6 bet bluff pre flop.
