Is this just a bad beat or could I avoid it?

Fair comment. Thank you
I am generally quite a passive player and whilst that means that I don't win mega pots at cash tables I have a +ve record in live poker at DTD cash. My internet record isn't so good and I'm trying to work out why.

Online the players are probably better than you, in DTD they are not.


You missclicked twice here pre, 6max cash AJ and 11bb when someone has already limped is a really easy jam. Then ok you decide to go for the limp re-raise, but forget the raise part.

QFT I bet there are a lot of people who can beat the 50p/£1 at dtd and will get eaten alive at 25c/50c online. Anyone who wins at 50c/$1 nl online would beat almost all of the cash games live. Its just that the boredam and putting up with unsavoury characters and travel expences makes this a bad option.

I loved the NL cash tables at DtD..I had someone call off his entire stack (80 BB's going in slowly) with bottom 2 pair on a

10c jc qh kd board simply because he "didn't take me for the ace" (I didn't have the ace but a better two pair

ahh I see that sarcasm is alive and well and living in the Blonde Poker Forum

The reason for my sarcastic reply is that I really don't think you've given this any thought yourself before posting it up on here. There's no background info, no introduction from you giving us your thoughts so far - just a title and a hand history.

Even a cursory consideration on your part should lead you to realise you're not getting away from this at any point. Even if it didn't, an explanation of what conclusions you'd already come to would have resulted in non-sarcastic replies showing where you'd gone wrong.

PHA - where people get out what they put in.

I don't think the last statement is true for absolutely everyone unfortunately - but I still think that is an awesome post. Bravo!

At least his read was pretty much perfect

fair point...I thought my stack was gone when he called.....especialy as I had been betting pre-flop and every street since...I just thought "oh FK my life...calling station with a 9 calls when I'm representing AK"...I moved tables soon after though...I didn't get any cards and got even less respect than Ironside

I can beat the 50p/£1 cash games at DTD, and I think the level of play is on the whole pretty poor (there are some decent players obviously but they seem to be the exception rather than the norm).

I play 50c/$1 online, and it's definitely tougher.  Beatable, but far tougher than the 50p/£1 at DTD.  I guess that the £1/£2 games at DTD aren't exaclty world class either, but I'm not bankrolled for them (yet) so I don't know.
