1  Poker Forums / The Rail / Party Poker Heads up hyper turbo’s on: June 01, 2020, 12:35:08 PM
I have been playing $50/$100 heads up hyper turbos on pp, I have noticed there is 3 players that I come up against majority of the time. I’m not going to mention the usernames but they are very basic, two of them are actually common first names. I’m not posting this to justify losing or trying to make an excuse but I feel that these certain players run very well in all in situations. Obviously heads up hypers are very high variance, just seems that over a large sample they “run very good”

I used to play the heads up a lot and done very well out of playing them, after a couple of months I came up against these players, noticed I was no longer winning in the long run. I stopped playing and had a break from them and just played mtts. Recently started playing the heads up again and same problem with the same players.

The players are locked on pro labs etc

Has anybody else came across this problem

Could just be me playing/running bad but just always seem fishy when playing these certain players.

Is it never possible for him to make the same play on the turn with over pairs such as 88, 99, 1010? Or would this be classed as him turning his hand into a bluff?

Playing a 42k stack with blinds at 100/200, new player joins the table with the starting stack (30k). He raises from an early position to 450, action is folded round to me on the button. I have   , I re-raise to 1000.... he calls. Flop is    three diamonds , he checks, i bet 900, he calls. Turn card is  . He checks to me again, i decide to fire again for 1750. Villain re-raises to 6k, i think for a while and decide to make the call. River card is  . Villain bets 9k, I make the call and he shows   for a full house. Is this a cooler, or should I be folding to the river bet? Should I ever check back the turn for pot control?

I always have thought dealers should be able to get warnings just like players.

Agreed.

I'm sure they do, privately. The abuse they get from the players is often more of a punishment than a warning, and if a TD turned round and said to a dealer "I'm giving you a warning for not paying attention" then all they'd get until the next push would be "This fucking dealer's shit, even their boss knows it!" from the rest of the table. Despite outward appearances, I'm sure this dealer regretted making this mistake.

This was a GUKPT dealer which I have seen deal at lot's of different events, there is a big difference between ,making a genuine mistake and watching whats on the tele on the other side of the casino. I won't hold a grudge against him... promise lol

I asked the floor if they could take the top 12 cards from the top of the deck as we were 8 handed (Two players in the hand), They said no... the cards must be reshuffled. I am obviously not happy about this as this is potentially giving the villain more outs

Can you explain why this potentially gives the villain more outs, and why it bothered you? 

It might (or might not) add another spade into the deck, but it also might (or not) add more non-spade cards that can come out as well.

Basically, it makes no difference in terms of the probabilities - the chances of a spade coming out are the same as before.

That's why I used the word "potentially", I get what you're saying in terms of probability it makes no difference but the chances are at least one spade was folded, so by that Spade going back in the deck that gives him an out he wouldn't have had. Of course there are more brick cards going back in deck which makes it less likely he will hit his out. I think you are always going to be annoyed if you lose a hand after the dealer has made an error.

I wasn't complaining about the rule I simply wanted to hear other peoples views on this rule.

I didn't make to much fuss about it, I guess it is harder to accept knowing that the outcome has POTENTIALLY been changed due to an error made by the dealer.

I was playing a 25/25 series recently, coming towards the last level of day 1 and I pick up in the bb. There is a late position raise, i three bet and the villain elects to call. Flop is  , I C-bet, villain calls. Turn card is three clubs , I fire again and the guy shoves on me, I immediately announce "Call", villain turns over    two spades for a flush draw. The dealer (Who is busy watching the football) decides to place the cards that have already been mucked on top of the live deck. I explain to the dealer that there has been an all in and a call. The floor is called over, they proceed to tell me that the whole deck (Apart from the burn cards and the board) will have to be reshuffled before the river card can be dealt. I asked the floor if they could take the top 12 cards from the top of the deck as we were 8 handed (Two players in the hand), They said no... the cards must be reshuffled. I am obviously not happy about this as this is potentially giving the villain more outs, after a lot of discussion and arguing the deck is shuffled and the river is .... i lose 90% of my stack.
