Re: 50/100 interesting river decision
 

Hahahaha. Tommy, he is a pretty decent tourney/cash game player, but he is a lagtard spew monkey when he loses.

As for the hand:

I like the turn call. Yes a naked Q will most likely call 2 bets here, but I have seen a lot of people at Foxwoods fold open ender's on the turn b/c they "never ever ever hit" (obviously depends on the table) and some rivers are going to suck a lot. There is value in the turn raise, I just like the call fwiw, plus you might be able to pull a raise if one of the people behind you decides to raise 2p or a set~

Why not raise the river and puke/call when you get 3 bet?

If anyone has a K behind you they are not folding ever for 2 bets. Also, if its like the Foxwoods I know, a lot of people will be calling the turn w/ a naked Q and folding to the river, or fold there 2pair hands like JT that just got counterfeited. I think calling here sucks. So pretty much raise the river IMO.

So the way I look at it is, if 1 of the 2 players behind you has a K you get 2 bets + 1 more from Tommy. If everyone folds then Tommy pretty much has to call you, sending him on monkey tilt where he starts to raise UTG w/ hands like 25s and 34o. Either way a victory.

Re: 50/100 interesting river decision
 

You misread the board and there's no way a K would check that flop ever.

Re: 50/100 interesting river decision
 

Ya misread it. Regardless raise river.

Re: 50/100 interesting river decision
 

not raising the turn at Foxwoods is crazy. don't outthink yourself Bill.

barron.. tommy tilts VERY hard, and plays about as spazzy as possible while he is. but he plays very good when he's not and VB's very well.

thanks,

well then it must be that my sample size is way skewed and/or he just played un-typically against me and his other friends.

i have just never seen him tilt. but then again i haven't seen him take a huge beat since he appeared to be playing slightly less than typically aggressive and definitely tighter than me (i play probably slightly tighter than your typical 2p2 20/40 player though i'm not sure). those could all be contributing factors though since he may have simply not gotten cards and his good ones held up / won w/o showdown so he never got beat in a big pot, never tilted, and never went "nutso" lol.

either way i like the guy. i've found the FW game to be unusally friendly. folks like josh, bob c, tommy ears, jay, and fish like sergio etc. make the game fun. especially josh.

have i met you before??

I have a lot of time at the table with them and I consider many of those guys friends even though I don't see them much anymore. (Machine Gun) Tommy (ears) can play really well when he wants, but can get over aggro when he's running good and tilty when he's running bad. He'll tell you the stories of the multiple times when he's "dusted off a couple of racks in 1/2 hour" The key to playing against him is realizing which Tommy he currently is.

I think we played together briefly, I am friends with Bobby and Bk and I'll introduce myself next time I see you down there.
