winning the battle, losing the war

[fsoyars]

full tilt $50, 54 man sng, ft bubble. never posted in this forum before but haven't steamed like this in a while. villain has been crazy aggro hammering my BB from the SB relentlessy, even when my stack was bigger. Finally decided it was time to play back at him. Same Villain all 4 hands. Feel like I outplayed him completely... but to no avail. Whiiiiiine.


1st Hand: He raises once again. Resteal goes right.

Busto! I throw up in my lap a few times and think, "Hey isn't there somewhere I can post this?"

maybe you shouldn't have check/minraised flop in last hand

[friend_]

You played it fine, current results do not matter.
When someone outdraws you with very bad odds - remember it is a part of the game, until they do crazy plays you will earn money from poker.

Do not minraise on flop in the last hand!

[Heavens_Myst]

nice minraise with KK on flop, he folds if you put in a real bet

You are right, may be against such a bluffer minraise give us much better EV+.

[fsoyars]

never would do that in standard play. the fact that he and i were explicitly at war entirely dictated how i played this hand. i knew he would come at me with a lot of hands, and knew he knew i would make moves on him, 3rd leveling, blah, blah, blah.
