I Hate Poker

[nb1961]

Some days you have to wonder who allocates the luck. I had been playing a while (badly) and was down about $10 over 4 tables. I had decide to give you and was playing till the blinds got to me. This table was fairly limpy so I limped in with pocket 3's to see what happened. Joy I hit trips, me and the LP player had bumped heads a few times, he liked to steal and I had 3 bet him a few times and got him to fold. So when he pushed all in to my little re-raise it screamed big pair and I was thinking great at least I've clawed some back The rest you can see, thanks FullTilt.

Full Tilt - $0.05 NL - Holdem - 9 players

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has 3 3

fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.05, LP raises to $0.12, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.07

Flop: ($0.31, 2 players) 6 2 3
Hero checks, LP bets $0.12, Hero raises to $0.24, LP raises to $3.25 and is all-in, Hero calls $3.01

Turn: ($6.81, 2 players) 6

Oh yes just to add I know it's not really a bad beat but it fitted in here better than anywhere else and I posted it cos I needed some love after a bad session at the tables

This is a love hate deal, Thursday was awesome it seem hard to do wrong, Friday was a utter diaster and yesterday was mixed bag

the day started with this hand

ME: TT

FLOP Q77 TURN T RIVER K

BY river I was all in and figured my full house was great
Until the Villian flipped over 77

So that got the first one off to a bang

But by the end of the evening I did make final table and 6th place so I would have to say I like poker again LOL


NEIL IF I COULD PLAY LIKE YOU, I would think your bad days make my best days look horrible, you play some big time poker

See it this way, every day is a new day (to lose more ), lol, no, no, im sure you will win next time

Hugs and kisses

You say the table was limpy
So why are you limping. If you got a hand make em pay to see a flop, even though it wouldnt have made any difference in this hand

Did you really think he was gonna fold to your min raise on the flop
I dont see any pair/draw folding there

I'm jamming the pot there and if i'm behind so be it but you are more than likely in front and getting them to make the wrong play by calling

Because if I raised they would have probably folded or as likely re-raised from the button which meant I would have to fold.

No certainly not I deliberately played so he would stay in or re-raise

I'm jamming the pot there and if i'm behind so be it but you are more than likely in front and getting them to make the wrong play by calling

I got exactly what I wanted he went all in when I had the best hand. In the situation I was in I was happy I played it in such a way that I should have doubled up exactly what I wanted. The reason for the post was just I was beaten by shear luck and a runner runner 6 just frustrated by that not by the other player.

Can understand the thought process.... the result sucks pretty bad.
Some days they seem to come in succession as well. Last week I got in great 2 hands in a row on the RUSH tables, one I got it in with TPTK & NFD.. got action from a guy who was on a straightflush 'gutter' draw & he hits miracle one outer.. sigh. His play wasn't terrible... but was if he could've seen my hand at the time, lol.
Another was similiar to your's here.. losing to runner runner quads though. I stopped after losing those two buyins, lol (why keep a good thing going).

I can understand your reasoning... but perhaps OP is suggesting that many will come along to see the flop, increasing his imp. odds for if he does hit his set. (and can understand they're thinking.. why raise then be forced to call a reraise, really cutting our imp. odds close and being out of position for the rest of the hand). I don't mind the limp on the table he's talking about.

Why would we want villain to fold here? Sure we probably should be raising more as we're not charging any draws enough here imo.

I'm jamming the pot there and if i'm behind so be it but you are more than likely in front and getting them to make the wrong play by calling

jamming the pot??.. why? Why would we want to put in a huge overshove here which potentially gets ALOT of hands folding that we never want to be folding in this spot. Jamming here makes no sense to me at all (unless perhaps it's on a RUSH table or you have some history with villain where we've over jammed with draws in the past).
idk if your thoughts about 'jamming' are results-oriented or what.. because I can't understand why we'd EVER want to be folding out soooooo many hands we could get value from here.

Pretty sure that Neil didn't post this HH for it to be analyzed or critiqued either actually (or maybe I'm wrong?). Sorry if I've jumped in with a bit of a hi-jack here Neil.. I couldn't help myself because I felt strongly enough to comment on what I thought about the other comments about it by Ramster. Jamming over on the flop just sounds like one would be losing a TON of value.

No it's no problem. Your right it wasn't really for analysing, but any comments are welcome. It's nice to get opinions and other views about how you played, and in my opinion you are right jamming the pot was the wrong thing I would have walked away with $0.30 ish if he had a weak hand and been in the same position against a stronger hand like he had. So no real gain, I was trying make as much as I could, greedy? yep maybe but that's how I try to play.
