blonde poker forum

(Villan is DTD reg... big guy who always plays £1/£2 and sits around £3k deep) - (we have only played maximum 1 hand per orbit since joining table so have a nitty rep)

on the £4 straddle....

guy UTG opens to £14 (loose reg)... flatted in 5 spots (including by villan who is in the SB)...

we look down at QQ on straddle and make it £67... (playing ~£300 at start of hand)

folded to button (guy who has just joined table and looks pretty clueless - playing £300) who CALLS.

Villan in SB then goes ALL IN.

I spew... and call as i feel after flatting the initial £14 he can never be really strong here as i have no history with the guy and haven't 'sqeeuzed' once so he cant be setting this up - button FOLDS.

Villan shows KK.

-------------------------------------------------

Knowing who the villan is - although having no history with him at all... Should i fold here? Can i fold here? What do you do? What are your oppinions?

Don't really play Cash but I would have called

this is vs big mike.

prolly the easiest fold you could ever make here. You ran into the bottom of his range as it happens

lets not forget though that vs a LOT of players, calling here would be completely fine.

ahhh ok.. even though he just flats out of SB initially though? like i said i have no history at all with the guy.. just heard hes fairly nitty.

He's basically just always got it. Seen him play KK like this loads of times. Won't raise unless he can 3b Or cold 4 all in vs a shortish stack.

Vs anyone else you just snap them off, but your not to know just how tight he is unless you've played with him a bit.

yh i mean you don't know big mike so it's hard for you.

If it was me with the information I have I'd have folded almost instantly

he never has AK, and he never has JJ afaik

LIterally don't think I have ever played with anyone that I would fold in this spot against... Except big mike! Unless you've heard about his rep or have played for a pretty long time against him, don't think you could possibly have enough information to make the fold.

Put him on 98o and snap

One of the most tilting players to play against, at least it makes the dtd 8 handed games 7 handed. just need one more of him and you could be playing 6max.


The real question is do we squeeze fold KK to him aswell, cos if we're calling we're calling to do a chops.

so he'll never do this with QQ either? ughhhhhhhhh

how old is Big Mike?

It just makes me incredulous that someone can be that disciplined and sit there waiting for that long, to only just 25x it pre and 'take it down'.  If you give him action at any point without the nuts you're having a mare.

Tis pretty funny watching him get his few k in ponies and change down hundo chips so his stack looks bigger every time.

<3 live

Its just mental isn't it. Never seen anything like it

Giblin called him with 99 on KTTXX when he bet the river into him and Terry for about £275.

He just thought he was at it'

Mike had quads.

@Dubai: he's prob late 40s early 50s.

loooooool just two nines.


HE'S GONE OFF HIS LID

I heard a bit about big mike but never played with him

Does he win in the games?

Just seems like a bad way to play poker

I think the most tilting thing in the world might be watching him fold for 4 ish hours, then watching someone sit down with 200bb and a look in their eye that says 'GAMBOOOL' and then obviously Mike opens to 10x and the guy wants to snap peel and stack off or 3bet pre, and i'm just facepalming going no no no don't do your stack to him ffs

Lol. <3 Andy. This post is like finding an extra prezzie under the tree

This. Nits in omaha do it as well because the fish always wanna gamble

Did he give you a rub after the hand? Something along the lines of

"I knew I'd catch ya kid" or

"No-one believes the rock" or

"U wanna get all your money in the middle with two queens? That's why I play tight."

naaa no rub down... we ran 2 boards aswell... was chattin to him for a while before this hand seemed an alright guy.

[ ] another good read

:P

Can you answer this Alex?

Worse than that, in LV this octogenarian made of rhyolite crsd the table mark on the river (fh vs flush) and got a call*.  He then left the table at his nextblind.  Ofc the table mark left as well saying he couldn't win his money back..........




*altho he did say he would've folded to big mike

i can sort of. you never know really because he sits so deep and doesn't play many hands and tops up randomly so you never know how much he's in for and I've never asked him how's he's getting on etc.

I don't wanna speculate too much as every time he sees me he says "hey kid gimme that ipad and lemme see what they're saying about me on blonde poker" (in yank accent) so I'm gonna leave it at that!

needle him out of the games imo!

He's deffo a winner in the games. Especially with the cash game bonuses.

It'd be hard to be a long term loser in soft games with his style. Still misses tons of value all the time though.

he is just selfish and arrogant the way he acts imo

He is big and American. What you expecting? :)

He's italian no?


but yeah the idea of the 'thin value' bet is lost behind the idea of a non set value bet rotflmfao

he knew where the value was when the valet brought two Thai chicken curries out.
obv i'd only ordered one and he snaffled the other for a fiver as i paid £7.95 for mine!
