lunacy by me but his call is madness, lol

[Highstack]

He beats 33 22 and 32 !! Unreal.

I also agree that your play was absolutely shocking. Why on earth would you do that? He had to be just about the only opponent on this planet that could have called you and been behind. This begs the question, was he your dad or your brother?

[fergus8]

i put him on a five throughout the hand.

so my bet on the end is a bet that he "cant" call without and ace , poss even king or queen. also he was on a blind in an unraised pre flop pot.
he checked because his FH had just been counterfeited which i was right. still not a good bet, in terms of stt survival tactics

but enough of that , enjoy it for what it is, a superbly brave calll

IOW...I stuck a donkeys bet in on the river but got away with it? lol

[fergus8]

so what would u have done?
check and llose the pot 19/20
or bet and win ?

bet and win 1/100 times

[fergus8]

he has to call first, and i dont put him on high cards at all- i think win 4/5

[Bazzaboy]

You have to bet river imo given the size of the pot unless you are happy to let him take it down with 85o (obviously he would call with this but we have to assume opponent knows what he is doing.)

[fergus8]

i was starting to think iid re produced it wrong

[Highstack]

I agree Bazza, but there is a difference between a bet and a jam. Absolutely no need to risk going broke here. If he jams ott, then even if he is at it, you can pass and put it down to "well at least I took a stab at it", but all in just a truely horrible play (although not as bad as the call!)

[boldie]

you've stuck in 270 why would you stick in another 745 in the hope that your oppo won't call with say Q5 K5 etc? the blinds are only 15-30. Sure your oppo made a disastrous call but I really don't see the need for the push here.

[fergus8]

pot sized bet approx

[fergus8]

also he checked to me, id only check in his spot if hes given up the pot

[Royal Flush]

Why did you flat call the flop?
