After redepositing I made back two buyins.

Still playing 0.5/1 because of the low deposit limit...

Some goon almost pushed me off an overpair:


limp, I raise QQ, call, call. I'm ip.

Flop J72 rb. Pots, calls, I call.

Turn 9. Checks, checks, I make a 60-ish% bet, call, fold.

River 3. Villain pushes his remaining 69 and the pot was already around 120. I call and the pot ships to me while his QJs is shown... wtf.. His stats: 20/8/2/70, or something.

This [censored] happens to me all the time. I raise KQ, bet the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] flop, 3/4 pot the turn, and he open-pushes into me for 1/2 pot on the [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] river. I call and he shows A9. WTF. He was 20/12 or so.

TAGfish suck. They turn made hands into bluffs all the [censored] time. That's why so many tight folds are pretty terrible.

I think what could be happening is that villains find that they get themselves into a bad spot. And then they figure "aww, if my hand isn't good enough, which it probably isn't, at least I can try to bluff him off". So it's kindoff a valuebluff, albeit an incredibly bad one.
