Cash game hand

WOW, I dont think I could lay that down.

Only 2 hands that have you covered here.

I suppose this highlights why we should never play above our normal level?

I doubt that you would of folded this at 3/6 would you?

Dont get me wrong, I am not critising you in any way, far from it! Just dont think I could of layed this.

yeah I'd agree with that. I wouldn't have been able to lay this down.

There is only one possible (realistically) hand that has you beat.

There are a few that you have beat, including a bluff.

You have to call

Ok I might as well just say then it can be discussed.  I folded.  He didn't say at the time but I said v v tough laydown in the chat box, he said good fold.  I said doubt it and he said he had AA. 

I have no reason to disbelieve what he said, as he seemed shocked and disappointed when I later typed that I had 8 8 in the chatbox.  Plus we discussed the hand a bit.  I was ok about doing this as its a few levels above the level I usually play so I'm not going to play him too often. 

Anyway, I'm getting 2/1 on the call at the end, am I ahead 1 time out of three here against a good opponent?

If he was shocked by your hand, then why did he move all-in?

Surely he'd want to milk you on the River, especially with the Ace of Spades being such a dangerous card.

not really, villain only has a pot sized bet left, and given the texture of the board and the action, if Well has any hand that can call a smallish raise, then it will call a psb a pretty good proportion of the time anyways, ie if he calls a $500 raise 100% of the time, and calls a $1900 raise 30% of the time it makes more money by pushing (1900*0.3 is $570), I wouldn't try and infer much from the size of the river raise, because these people aren't so bad that they jam these rivers with bluffs and raise these rivers small with big hands.

True

If it was me though, I would have raised around 1,000 to entice the middling pair to call. I mean, if you're the guy with the middling pair such as nines, then what do you expect to be beating once the Ace hits. K-Qo??

You're right M3boy there's no way id have laid it down for the equivilent pot in a 3/6 game.  Like I said it was a mistake and probably shouldn't even have posted it as its kinda embarrasing.  I do believe that he had AA though as he was just about to leave the table when we were discussing the hand.

Embarrasing? maybe.

But a good way to learn - I have posted hand histories on here knowing that I have played them badly.

its a sideways mockery of dales sng philosophy to fold biggish hands early because of chip value discrepancies, and seemingly takes it too far at times. He's posted a couple of these hellmuthian laydown hands on here somewhere.

holla

No, sometimes I make suggestions as to different ways to play.
