Thoughts

I play cash game b/c I do not have time for long mtt and I get bored with low limit sit-n-go's.


Now why I called the all in.

- My read was he had top pair with a Q,J,10...Lets say my read was right I am 51.2% .....I call that all day.

-AM I a PRO........I dont think I am there yet so, I make this call because i thought I was at 51.2%

- Also sometimes a open push like that is a Strong play with weak cards!!!

Cowboy we are totally different players. I play a lot about feel! You seem to be more stats and odds. To you and some other players it may have been a bad play. AT least I did not call with nothing and hit runner runner or some sick beat.

Last thing I will say is the only reason I been Posting hands is b/c you ***** the other day about the forum not being active!!! well there you go.... I will not post another hand by me.....

Nutz,

I didn't post my comments to piss you off or to discourage you from posting hands for people to look at. My comments were made the way they were because it appeared that your call was based solely on how you were doing at the other tables. I felt the call was made because "I can afford the to drop the hand because I'm winning else where."

Now, on to the odds vs feel discussion. I have played 7 years of poker, with the last 3 being a serious cash game player. I played for a while by "feel" and wound up being a break even player. I found a few books that dealt more with math and less with "how to" and I've changed styles. Over the last few months I've turned a MINIMUM of $100 profit playing the 25nl game. While the profit isn't huge, I've averaged a 5bb/100 average, which most will tell you is huge. Imagine the profits if I were to maintain that average at $1/$2 NL.

I'm not saying I'm "god" on the cash tables, but I can say if you want to see serious, constant profit, the math way is the way to go. I'm working on learning some other programs to help show the value of ranging players and using odds to make calls. I would be happy to discuss this more with you.

First off, The other guy is a "ritard" for shoving 4 dollars into barely a 1$ pot. Secondly, if he shoves on the flop, i'm still calling there if i'm "freerolling" as you put it, even if I know he has trips. Which he easily could have with the re-raise pre-flop. I can guarantee with a flop like that, if he bets pot on the flop, you call, THEN he shoves on you with one card coming to hit your flush, you are folding....EVERYONE, this is how you get someone off their hand, not like this idiot shoving on the flop 4 dollars into a 1 dollar pot.

I'm not sure why people take such offense to replies/comments/advice.

If you are posting these hands, please keep an open mind with regards to any replies that are made and do not take offense to them.

I think I disagree with cowboy here. Rare that that happens. While I would never call a reraise UTG with A9 suited, Once I did I don't think I would fold to the overbet. Overbets like that are NOT usually big made hands (like it was here) but weak made hands such as Ax. Even if you assume his range is any set, any 2 pair, any top pair, I think this is a call getting 6 to 5. Of course, I'm more of a tournament player, and more people slowplay hands like top 2 early in tournaments and less people make big overbets, thus making me more inclined to want to call with top pair and a flush draw.

i love it..........everyone seem to think the have poker all figured out. poker is forever changing and is there truly a right and wrong way to have played this hand or any hand. everyone can argue both sides of the story and make good points for both side.

LOLOLOL this is what I get for googling my name

That was probably the funniest video i had ever made, though. I wish I could remember this hand specifically.

Why open shove the flop? I'm not calling any worse hands, the only hands calling you are hands that are behind you. Sure fish will call with less, weaker draws, etc. But, 9/10 the only hands calling you, are hands you are behind to.

NH, whatever, go buy yourself a cheeseburger, if it makes you feel proud to post bad plays on the internet, cheers! Btw, you bust your $40 BR yet?
