I've given up trying to play good because playing bad works so much better for me

lol, well played. I had an underpair and your line was so odd that I couldn't figure out what you had. I was planning to c/r the turn, but I hated the ace and then you checked behind anyway. Of course the K on the river just killed me. I hate being oop. lol. I can't believe you checked that turn though. Wuss. Where are these "balls" you talk so much about???

[ZOMG_RIGGED!]

If the turn hadnt been a heart I was going to bet, but I figured the queen and ace had to hit your range a huge percent of the time and now that I'd picked up outs I didnt want to pay 2 bets to suck out on you. Once you checked the river I knew you were screwed with you 88's but wasnt sure if you'd beleive me now that I had checked the turn. I figured though that you'd seen me 3bet you with KQ so you might just assume that I had a hand I was taking to showdown but didnt want to pay a lot for with the A. I decided maybe I hadnt given up the pot and displayed some "balls" on the river.

That's the hand you thought I flopped a set. I think the only debate could be on PF, but with a pot thats going to be at least 4 or 5 ways, I think I can play a suited broadway. Flop raises are pure equity. I think I could have capped, but I wanted the obvious AA/KK leading into the field if I hit it, so I could raise.

[TheHip41]

yah, i had AKs there, with a bd flush draw, i called, hoping you didn't raise,because when you do raise, you have flush draw or set, both are bad for my hand.

your hand looked fine

[ZOMG_RIGGED!]

No cap on flop for value? You're winning 33%+ and you've got three people in front of you. Or were you putting on of the two passives on a smaller flush draw?

[Zach6668]

Yeah, I considered it.

I was thinking I wanted the guy with AA/KK to lead the turn, but I doubt capping it will make any difference, as he'll either be scared of the flush card or not.

I play so scared lately. Stupid downswings.

Bahahhahaha. I've seen that a few times.

Once, I got a guy to call with 22 on an XXYY board, and he rivered his set [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Another time, I value-bluffed 44 on an XXYY board, and got called by 33, and the river checked through (so not as cool), but he was a total station, so I gave it one try, lol.

BB mucks 33.



This was special 10/20 where the big blind was $15 and the small blind $10. Raising preflop raises it to $20 total. There was a glitch on the HU tables on AP for a while, where you should basically never fold preflop.
