Angle shoot or meta game?

[evilgenius]

A little back story...
I just got back from a business trip in NJ. On my last chance to sneak away to Atlantic City I took it. 10pm-5am and had to drive back to Edison for work at 9am.

Sat at a 2/4 limit table which is the largest I've ever played live for any real length of time. I'm from florida so this is the first real casino I've played poker in. I got seated to the left of a aggresive LAG and never got any isolating hands and wasn't able to limp marginals to a 2-bet or 3-bet (which of course would have taken down huge pots). After waiting patiently for good hands I finally requested a seat change to sit to his right. Eventually the table broke when I moved to 3/6 because the dealer was being bitchy (only reason I was still sitting was I knew it would break if I left).

So I won back my money and then some until the table began to lose the fish and we were left with the toughest table I've ever been at around 2:30am when another table is joined to ours.


Here the questionable play...
Anyways I wasn't getting much in the way of cards and what I did get wasn't hitting. I have the tightest image at the table. Finally I decide to call a fairly loose raiser in early positon with K6 suited.

Flop Qh Jh 6d
He bets and I raise he calls

9h

This cards completes a lot of draws that I might call a preflop raise with and given that my raise on the flop could have been a free card play (I also have a inside straight draw) I decide to make the following play.

He bets but only throws out a a single 5 dollar chip and I quickly throw out 6. He then throws out an additional buck. I tell the dealer I tried to raise his bet but was confused by the single chip he threw. I state I wanted to raise and he says he will allow it. I put an additional 6 bucks in the pot.

He goes into the tank for 20-30 seconds and mucks...

I show my pair of sixs knowing I made him fold a queen or jack. I am complimented by the best player at the table and hope I will get a little more action...

So whats the verdict? Meta game or angle shoot?

Seems like an angle to me as if you wanted to raise you should have put 16 in to begin with. That said I dont think it added to your play if you would have just said raise he probably would have mucked anyway

There is no way he folded QJ here at 3/6.

This is a potential angle shoot, and as such, the dealer made a mistake in allowing you to raise.

Kick yourself in the balls for this one, please.

[evilgenius]

Yea, after I did it I started to think it was. Well I won't do it again.

[DemonDeac]

you had the best hand

LAME angle shot on your part. Also, dont play 2/4 live unless your object is to get drunk as cheaply as possible.

Fold pre-flop. Puke.

This was a dick move. And what did this gain you that just raising normally wouldn't?

And don't show your bluffs. A tight image is a good thing to cultivate in LHE.

I'm as thirsty for action as the next guy, but I can't imagine jonesin' so much that I would drive 100 miles each way so that I could stay up all night playing $2/4 when I had to work the next day. Of course, I don't live in Florida.

Are moderators allowed to say, "dick?"

[agent_fish]

Actually anyone can say dick. dick dick dick

and fold preflop
