wow.

Preflop is ok. I wouldnt hate a preflop push all in either.

On the flop just fold. How do you know with any certainty that any of your possible outs for pairs or the flush gives you the best hand? You might be monstered already.

Fold out after the flop comes.

I obviously knwo i SHOULDVE folded. That wasnt the question. The question was knowning his hand now how would i bluff better....should i have bet more or less then what i did?

[eejit101]

Good point, missed that. Speed reading FTL.

Anyways.....

If this was me and i was determined to win the pot/had a death wish, id be out.

The villain here will not lay down the 2nd nut flush or flush draw. He called on the flop and was calling a push IMO.

The only way you coulda bluffed this is with a different turn. Then you could push and buy it at that point.

Even check/raising the turn doesnt really help. As he might check behind, or your push is only 40% of his stack, hell, i think id call it with Kc.


So yeah, in this spot, winning this pot is nearly impossible

TBH this was one of my weakest sessions. I played with this guy at the 11$ 30k event and every 4.40 180 man and every 1.10 90 man i did. It was crazy and he kept reading me so damn well. When i was bluffing he would raise. When i had the goods he would fold and TBH i just wanted to win a damn pot from him.

I don't think, even with a different turn you would push him off the hand. He called a huge reraise with top pair and a long draw to the 2nd nut flush. I don't think he was going to fold the hand. I think the only way he flopds is if an A comes on the turn and you can find a way to convince him you have AK. Based on the action preflop, you indicated nothing for strength by limping from the SB. He probably put you on KQ or something like that. I wouldn't put you on anything that connected with the flop, turn, or river.

Just my 2 cents, but I'm not a great tourney player.

[bkniefel]

I think that you should've been out of the hand pre-flop. No sense because the way I look at it is, if you don't hit an ace or jack, what are you going to do on the flop. Call, raise.....

Even if a K hit on the flop, as well as an ace. What would you do if first to act bets the pot....

You should fold...

I understand that it is all circumstantial and you never really know because some people are straight donks.

As Phil Ivey would say, only play the top 5 hands...

[woohoosue]

yup and maybe he noticed this about ya too.... man you think he's one of those super account guys? wouldn't that be wild if you had cot one? Is it apprpriate to contact support to review a game to see if he is? ...and if the only one's with super accounts work there? would contacting them even be the way to go?

yeah i don't do arbitrary bluffing...I don't do alot of it...so no help here. I'm the one that calls thinking you are bluffing and you are not usually ...any advice there? lol
