Switched to NL to avoid the beats..... - Page 4

I'm usually going to try to get the rest in on the turn. Can't really say it's a bad beat when all you're doing is checking.

NL is about putting someone to a decision for all their chips.

Limit is about putting someone to a decision for some of their chips.

This hand reeks of limidonk.

This thread was funny b/c nobody realized the stack sizes, then you had like 18 people point it out, and it was funny b/c those people didn't realize that it had been pointed out.

You should have bet .01 on the river, b/c it gives him the small chance to misclick fold. Then he also gets reported for chip dumping. lol.

push the river, he will misclick enough to make it worthwhile.

That being said, it is important to bet the turn for value. Two pair is a very strong hand.

I think you should bet the turn so you don't give him a chance to outdraw you with his overpair. Your passive turn play cost you this one.

Push the turn.

The problem with not pushing the turn is you left money on the table.

Now that I look at this hand again, I must say that not pushing the turn allows villain to play perfectly against you.

So, this one time I left the villain with a penny, but it was preflop and he was half-stacked.

I was holding KK.

Sure enough, the A hit on the flop and villain throws that penny down, like,

'ALL IN MOTHER [censored]!'

Now, I was put to a decision for all my chips. It was tough, but I calculated my pot odds and made the crying call.

Sure enough, villain turns over AK, but I spike the case K on the river and all is well. I have mixed feelings about my suckout.

In short, don't listen to these donkeys.

Villain did not slam his penny down nor throw it at your chest, so you have every reason to believe your counterfeited 2 pair is still good. Checking it down and seeing a cheap showdown is the optimal, minimal variance play and the correct play in this situation.

But I only play PLO now so I could be wrong.
