stars $20R- 3 hands made my day!

NYWalker · #1 07-03-2006, 09:10 PM

Three hands that made my day - Pokerstars $20R, going on now. Three hands with the exact same guy, loose, wild and bluff a lot.

#1, I'm folding but I'll remember your bluffing here. I'll be back. J9o was a bad call PF. But against this guy who's very loose, I'd try this hand one time only. Bad decision.

#3 last hand before rebuy ends - was that a bad call? PF call was bad, but there is a reward playing bad poker against certain players? 20% bad poker?

haha?

DLizzle · #3 07-03-2006, 10:17 PM

but wait, this is like a joke in 8th level thinking right? I'm seriously asking.

nath · #4 07-03-2006, 10:22 PM

Hand 1 is bad.
"J9o was a bad call PF. But against this guy who's very loose, I'd try this hand one time only."
What? How do you know he's coming along? You're out of position the whole hand.

NYWalker · #5 07-03-2006, 11:21 PM

Yes, master nath, it was a very bad call PF, out of position. Just want to feel lucky and flop JJ9.... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No, it's not a joke. I'm still in the game, 43K now, 27th out of 85 remaining. They pay 45th. Be in the money, then, reach the final table ...

NYWalker · #6 07-03-2006, 11:46 PM

Took a deeeeep breathe hoping villain to fold on the flop...
Was a bet valid or check here seeing the turn?

hand 1 - limp not good obv, once you do limp, um this is the rebuy period right? i'd probably check/call flop or something, or just go all in if you like to rebuy. folding turn is fine I guess.

hand 2 - I'm confused. this is like 100% standard and uneventful, then did you ask about folding the turn? I might be reading something wrong, but you have the nuts?

hand 3 - ok raise with 4c9c. fine, it's the rebuy period. you flop a flush, and someone pushes. why would one ever fold?

hand 4 - standard and a half. i like betting that flop. i guess checking would be ok too.

Again, I'm not sure why I wrote this response, I still think I have misunderstood something here.

NYWalker · #8 07-04-2006, 12:25 AM

How about this one.

Villain(karencon at Stars) had been raising PF and allin on the flop 3-4 hands in a row. It's bubble time 47 players left, it pays 45. (Stars $20R) I guess I should fold PF since I wouldn't call all-in on the flop? What's your play? good lay down? Put him on AK, KQ, KJ... AQ,Ax, turn and river Ace?

WHAT

CALL

nath · #10 07-04-2006, 12:42 AM

Hand 4, bet the flop and call a raise all in
Hand 5, if you're not going to call the flop, fold PF. you hit top pair against an aggressive player who is pushing all in on the bubble. if you aren't going to call here you shouldn't be playing.
(and the BEST play is to push PF.)
