Ok, It might be my last hand post if I get critized to be a dumb donkey that dont listen to nobody.
BUT! im posting this because I REALLY whant to hear about it.
(People here expect me to enter NDN forum and after on week be the best player ever?) I dont get it.
I knew he was bluffing.
well i think it was a great play but i need to ask u did u actually think that u had him or did u think he was bluffing? thats the real question. noone expects u to be pro after a week. get over it. thats a little old. u played it well but it could have turned out bad for on the hopes that u had best hand. yes he was bluffing but he did have top pair bad kicker then he had the flush draw also. so i say u were a 52/48 percent to win on flop. it might be more to him.Quote:

Contrary to popular belief, bad players are much easier to beat than good players. Although, variance might be a little higher.Quote:

fold preflop, and stop moaning
I never play cash games. NeverQuote:

so step 1 tighten up in the lower levels.....
two play tighter...
Ok.. but comes to decision.Quote:

I have being only earning money on cash games lately.
i am just rying to help and i am saying over the long haul you wont be....spec if sharks come done to lower limits.....
A8o is called dead mans hand....
1 b/c you can not connect a straight!!!
2 if you hit you 8 or Ace you dont know if your good at all
3 i would not play a8off at all.....you may win hands like you won today but that wont last long!!!!
Thats all wrong. A8 is "dead mans hand" because Wild Bill had AA88J when he died and whatever else. It carried over the poker. But i do like your theorising.Quote:

In this situation we all feel i think that A8 is a mediocre hand.With a fair amount of action on the flop there would normally be an overpair out there, or a pair and a flush draw, or god knows what.
Simply put navuta, in my opinion you should do the following...
1 - Stop playing for one day.
2 - On the day, learn pot odds, starting hand values, everything you can,
3 - Get a poker book audio version in spanish/portugese (whichever u speak) and listen to it. It can only help.
4 - Come back, try what you have learnt.
5 - Lose less, or win because your more skilled, not because you get dealt better hands or get lucky.
Eejit hit the nail on the head.
Being results oriented is possibly the biggest mistake anyone can make in poker.
Just because you win a single hand or are even up money over a small sample size doesnt mean youre playing well. (even 30 or 40 THOUSAND hands is not enough to prove you are a winner)
On the contrary, just because you are losing over the short term doesnt mean you are playing poorly.
Variance is a *****.
At least we agree on something man:)
This forum is attracting alot of bad variance right now. I swear ive forgotten how to get from 20% left in a MTT to 1%. Its annoying
well it went in one ear and out the other. im not gonna bother . lol
Back to Basics.Quote:

Like for example, we have 6 and J on hand, comes the 789 flop. We have 16 draws. Thats makes 20% based on number of cards.
So, I should not call any raise bigger than 20% of the pot.
Thats how is it done i think..
I know I still lots to learn.. I promise to study buddy ejjit.. hope u can always help me out like u do... just have little bit more pacience...
Thanks for all.
well if u have a J6 and your not on a blind that hasnt been raised. then u are playing playing it wrong from the gate.Quote:

When drawing dont forget about implied odds also. If your both short, implied odds are never that good (if youre both short, and you flop a good draw, just shoving is prob not a bad idea....assuming youre not toooo short).
Calling with a draw can be justified much more easily if you both have alot of chips, and think you will win alot if you do hit the draw. Its sometimes even worth it to call a pot bet with only an open ended if its well disguised and you can take a 50+ big blind stack if you hit.
where do u see this assumpcion?Quote:

its not a ASSUMPTION it is me just telling u that if u dont have it preflop in this situation u shouldnt even be in hand. u didnt elaborate on where u would have this hand. so i am just telling u thats should be the only way u play them. u know what ever i dont even fing care. dont bother replying to this.Quote:
