u played that hand all wrong,its almost sickening

whats sickening is that your posts in the Hand Analysis have nearly always been posted in a condescending manner... usually devoid of any useful advice whatsoever.

Not everybody is a full time world reknowned professional poker player like you, so its likely that people will make mistakes. If they cant post it here without people like you offering them nothing apart from pointless insults and snide comments, then how do you think that will make the less abled players feel about posting in this section of the forum?

Maybe it was a bad fold, but the whole point of this board is to try and help people understand why, not just for a bunch of people to cry out "bad fold".. "man, you suck at life"  "your fold makes me sick" and so on

Mods, I apologise for the tone of this post, but its something that has been getting on my nerves for a while in here. Delete/modify as required





my god ur using the old cliche we're all not poker professionals like you,very orignal if i had a cookie id give it to you.

the massive over bet couldnt have ment pure strength no?

Re raise pot ,because u are showing that uve a maid straight,plus u dont want to give flush draws and higher straight draws cheap cards

Another benefit to this is if the board pairs on the turn u have now disguised ur hand,so say a 4 comes on the turn u can maybe even check let them catch a flush and get paided off more(check ur low houses with caution however)

just because he raised pre flop he doesnt have to have face cards

by the way he bets so weakly on the flop he's either on a draw or has a set


so he bets small u raise it up and he flat calls,in my opinion he has 9 10 suited and has flopped a belly buster(7 or j ) to a straight)

he bets weak again on the turn,its kind of a come over the top please bet isnt it

then does the standard bad player move on the river,

Firsly i think your check is the right play,its obvious at least one of these players has hit there straight on the turn

SO if u bet out 'HOPING' to scare them off ur just wishing and plain gambling and thus eliminating the skill involved,however by checking u got the 2 other players to put another 40 each into the pot making the pot 136,u had to put 40 into this pot so u were effectively getting 3.4-1 on ur money,u are 48% to hit so a check and call is justifiable

prolly the only way hes going to make anymore money,why where u going to call if he bet?i presume not

u played that hand all wrong,its almost sickening

I think it's definitely a call.... I'd have put him on an overpair like you said, or a nut flush draw...
The only hand you're behind to on the flop is jack queen....and personally just my opinion I wouldn't have gone all in with the nuts on the flop, I'd have flat called, or made a smaller re-raise...not gone all in with it.
Too many people in the pot to go all in with top pair on that flop.
You were just unlucky

words of wisdom

no raising 5 times the pot always an OVERPAIR! ALWAYS!

i ment to say terrible bet

i like the minimum raise on the turn here

he has to call behind if he has part of it, even a draw

if you are feeling fruity the check on the river on a blank is often a red rag to a bull and he can value bet for you. Amazing how often they interpret the check as weakness and in comes the steal....


cash game tactic, not tourney where you are trying the value bet every time on the river

yeah i just throw value bettin out the window when i play cash games,simpley a tournament move

well u made a terrible raise pre flop and an even worse raise on the flop

u may not have got in that situation if u didnt try takin piss with that raising

just because ur gettin ur odds u don't always have to call


getting 11-1 with only the bb to act then there is no hand , and I mean no hand I will fold.

Although I know he had jq and tighty was struggling I believe his betting pattern is the same with a set , or even a big draw and therefore you cant really fold.

is that how ur standard tight player plays a set

pots 1000

and he re raises 5 times the pot with 4 other players in the pot,huge chance of a straight being out there

7 6,j 7, q j


sure

if he's near the chip lead and he's tight is he really going all in with the nut flush draw?


flopping a set on that board isnt the best especially with that many limpers so he's more than likely going to put in a nice re raise to find out where he is

but he's re raisin you 5000 or so,he's limped in so its more than likely he's a set or q j k 10,k j pocket pair
now i said what i think this player may do with a set,if he's on a  draw he's prolly flat calling why would he raise all in.

you must realise he made a very strong re raise he's  tight player being showing up great hands all night,shows you great strengh and you don't believe

automatic call : no

but unlucky its a tought situation which you got urself into by limping in with a very marginal hand
just because ur gettin ur odds u don't always have to call

I presume Eoin Tobin is almost blinded out?
