after i make a sick bluff:

i know you have me beat, but I'm calling with third pair anyways

The strategy error here is bluffing a calling station.

these are great, last time i played the pink game at the trop i only got called on 3 occasions by the nuts on the river, the person said they thought it might be a split and didnt feel like betting more, hahaha, all pots were HU. They also said they like to keep it friendly, o i love the live fishies

i'm hu at the river. on a KKKKA board. oponent bets, i raise. he berates me for raising, says that we have to be chopping. thinks about it for about 30 seconds, and then finally calls. I turn over 88 to collect half the pot.

"How could you raise with 88? You're playing the board."

FYP. I am proud to have moved up to much higher limits, but often miss the days of pink.

I've seen people call with something close to the nut low because they thought the bettor was bluffing. I just sat there in disbelief, certainly not saying anything.

This is a true statement.

Last night I was playing at the commerce and the flop came Kxx (2 spades) in a raised pot between the BTN and the BB. BB checks, BTN bets, BB calls. Turn is a blank, same action as flop. River is Qs and BB leads out, BTN hems and haws, then finally calls. BB shows K2 for a pair of kings, BTN shows QQ for trip Q's.

After the hand BTN says to BB "You made a good river bet there because if I didn't hit my Q I would have had to fold." Needless to say my brain exploded.

It's actually a 5 and T. Every single straight has either a 5 or T in it.

I played a guy who said that T5 is one of his favorite hands and is surprisingly strong because it 'makes the most straights' obviously completely butchering the original idea.

He was playing 10/20 limit and I've seen him at 20/40 before.

I've said things like this before. One of my favorite lines in B&M is "you got to be in it to win it." I wonder what percentage of people in this thread got leveled.

This is not true in Omaha and Omaha 8/B.
