How do you not tilt

oneeyejak · #1 10-13-2007, 11:30 PM

Ok. I probably should have reraised PF to avoid this mess but the original raiser was making ridiculous raises every other hand and I was hoping to be heads up and hit him after the flop.

How can I play this any different? Other than reraise PF? How do you not tilt after something like this?

yes ... u should have reraised on the flop but the call is ok to disguise your hand ... thats what you were doing right?

ok, now that you have your hand disguised why did u donk on the flop, that is just dumb, you should have c/r ai or called and c/r ai on turn

you can't tilt b/c you played bad, can you?

Villain played hand fine... do you expect him to fold on the turn with two overcards and an open-ended straight draw, getting 5:1?

Why didn't you re-raise pre-flop?

No offense, but neither of these pieces of advice are good. Flat-calling on that flop is atrocious, as is flat-calling pre-flop. We're playing against micro donks, not Phil Ivey. Don't get fancy.

No. Thats why I posted. To see if I played bad.

Did he really raise 16 bb PF?

You're right. Maybe tilt is the wrong word. I think its more being pissed at myself for not rereising PF.

I didn't say that the villian played the hand bad. I do question him calling my flop bet. Maybe my bet was a little light. At any rate, he got lucky and I let him get there.

Like I said, this guy had been making the ridiculousy huge PF raises every other hand. I thought I saw a good chance to disguise my hand. I was hoping he would catch a piece of the flop and give away his chips. I will reraise in that situiaton 90% of the time.

Against these kind of opponents, you start reraising a wide range. Someone was raising to 10bb every hand at a table I was at, so I started limp/reraising any kind of decent hand - TT, AJo, etc. 80% of the time he called then folded to a cbet.

i'm guessing he probably had j3 which is brutal. i think just calling him pf is good but then you should have CRAI'd him on the flop
