I call turn and donk river now as expect this is the best way to maximise vs 88,99,JJ,QQ,Kx and I love variance

the 3bet seems kinda small as most of Kurts range is either set mining or folding whether u make it £40 or £68.

When you left crying after throwing your Ipad and monte carlo trophy out of your pram he claimed he had A2.

I'm not folding this ever.

If he's got the ten good luck to him.



Lol be more ridiculous

What's ridiculous about calling with an ace and another ace?

Is it because he might have a ten?

Well there's plenty of other hands that he might have as well so I think calling is better than folding.

If you're going to fold then fold to his flop raise.

If I'm calling the flop it's because I think I'm winning and I've already decided that my stack is going in. I'm not deep enough to think otherwise.

Calling the flop with the plan that if he puts the rest of his chips in we're folding seems bad to me.

Were you calling hoping that he was going to give up on the turn and river and let you showdown against whatever he may have?

Think he was referring to your terminology.

Should probably have elaborated a little but I don't think it requires much elaboration.

Just decide if he has the ten and go with it.

This decision should have been made on the flop though unless we're calling for information.

Once he bets the turn I am snap folding here.  When you say he is old how old???  >75 and I would probably fold the flop tbh >60 but <75 I call and fold turn.  Age is normally a massive tell in these games.

I dunno, old is old! >30 = old!

Probably in his 60s.

I agree age is everything.

Ahem.

See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageism

And in particular.....

"adultocracy" & "gerontophobia".

I deny completely any claims of ephebiphobia.

I happen to know the Gentleman in question, & he told me he had complete air.  Standard "elderly gentleman" play v yoofs, imo.

I wonder if the oldies have a pha board to discuss hands and strategy?

Fwiw this hand happened before he showed the kt bluff.

OK, think it does matter TBH. Tough spot, against an old old guy (so not 30+ but 60+) I get out of the way here unless I gt the feeling he's "trying to teach you kids a lesson" which some of these guys do.

If he had air, he clearly had this thought and clearly has mad old people skillz. He pwned you...twice.
