- - I've been playing 2+2 poker and I end up getting bluffed all the time. (http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=548889)

I\'ve been playing 2+2 poker and I end up getting bluffed all the time.

I've been reading here for a couple of months and trying to learn, etc.. now I'm getting pushed out of pots, I'm paranoid, I'm forgetting that people do actually bluff sometimes.

I'm in a hand, I feel it, I know it, but I lay it down because I'm trying to be sensible and play right.

That's all. Just had to get that off my chest.

Re: I\'ve been playing 2+2 poker and I end up getting bluffed all the time.

call/push next time and see if you were bluffed.

you are calling/pushing here because you have a MONSTER, not because you think villian is bluffing.

post some where you have marginal hands and need villian to be bluffing for calling to be good.

Please tell me that it never even crossed your mind to fold your pocket 9s to the villian's re-raise. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Well, a few minutes before I had read a post on 2+2 where hero was advised to fold his 9s, so yes, it crossed my mind.

The title of this thread should be changed. OP is definitely not "playing 2+2 poker".
