In my first ever live game i flopped QQ, got too excited and rather than check it, i announced all in! lol needless to say it didnt pay off!
pmsl , that was good eh ?
on the other hand , ive been paiid off every time.
first 1 i held KQ flop was K K K and got paid off by Full House
2nd had QQ flop was Q Q J and i sat back and watched 2 other players trying to bluff each other , milked it to the death and ended up knocking someone out who had AJ
3rd had 88 , flop was 8 8 9 and doubled through someone with 10's
last one was Deuces on a 2 2 A K K board , presumably my oppo had AK or at least an A or K.
absolutely incredible , although i have even seen top pros do what you say and try to get too fancy by betting their quads or whatever and not getting maximum value out their hand ( which their supposed to be good at apparently )
Phil Laak vs Negreanu on HSP is a good example of this when it actually looked like Negreanu took the piss out of Laak when he laughed and sneered at his Re Raise , negreanu held 67 offsuit against Laak's QQ on Q Q A board.
Negreanu led out and Laak decided to raise , i dont see any point in this play watsoever , if youve got an unbeatble hand milk it for everything you can.
in the end it actually looked like Negreanu owned Laak , as Laak said to him '' i was probably ahead '' when Negreanu mucked his hand.
