And here is why we always call one bet on the river with decent hands: even Heroes sometimes misclick.

OK, UTG's jack was paired, but close enough for government work.

Default Could this have been played any worse?

I'm don't have a problem with FPS anymore. Now my problem is SPS (Stupid Play Syndrome). Yes, that's me not check-raising the flop (with EVERYBODY trapped already for one bet) or the turn, then donkbetting the river. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] &lt;sigh&gt;

Default some content, I think i misplayed it

Paradise Poker 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

only 17 hands on villian, but he has played a nice 58% of his hands, so def loose. we had a previous tango in one hand where I limped in the CO with KTo, 5 or so limpers already, I flopped trip T's, bet, everyone but villian folded, turned quads, and when an A fell on the river, villian bet/capped with his A4s (os from board) so I took villian as the type to overplay his hands.

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.25.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO (poster) calls, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (12.40 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, CO calls, Hero calls, BB calls.

with reads, and since only 2 EP raising PF hands have J's (JJ/AJs), thought my raise was good... I found out maybe not

Turn: (12.20 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, UTG+1 calls.

River: (20.20 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, UTG+1 calls.

In retrospect, these last 2 streets were overplayed on my part.

Final Pot: 28.20 BB

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
UTG+1 has 4s 4h (full house, fours full of tens).
Hero has Td Kd (three of a kind, tens).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins 28.20 BB. </font>

not the hand I was exepecting... I think villan's flop pattern mapper is much better than the $20 piece of [censored] I bought.

Default Re: some content, I think i misplayed it

My sets are getting torn to shreds lately....

I've had 3 set over set flops/boards and been rivered by flushes twice and ran into freaking quads once, those hands alone have cost me like 50BB... that's of my own roll, I don't even wanna think about losing all those mega pots or I'll be sad.

You think this thread has no content take a look at this one I found and am pissed that I wasted over an hour to read through the 500+ responses proof that the Poker Thoery forum is filled with more insane people than the micros

I do not represent this thread in any way so I posted it here if you're bored and need some good laughs.

Default He called me with 4 high (!)

My favorite all time time, "He call me with ..." hand is this one. Villain is 48/20. I make an ill advised bluff on the river (forgive me, I had been planning to bet any card and clicked before I realized that a 6 was not exactly "any card".)

Hero has 55 in the SB. UTG open-raises, two cold callers, Hero calls, BB folds. 4 to the flop for 9 SB.

Flop is AA3, two suits. Hero checks and UTG bets, all fold to Hero who calls. Two to the turn for 6.5 BB.

Turn is 6 making two possible flush draws. It goes Check-call. Two to the river for 8.5 BB.

River is another 6-no flush. Hero bets and is called. Villain's hand is not revealed, but he had either 4 high or was playing the board.
