Total pot: (18.50 BB - $111)


Yes, this is a thinly disguised whine, I just can't comprehend villain's play on 3rd 4th or 5th.

6th is probably not that horrible even with dead 9s and dead diamonds due to the sheer size of the pot.

I guess I shouldn't complain with this happens since in the long term it means I win tons of money, but it always leaves me going WTF?!?! when they turn their hand over and makes it absolutely impossible to ever put them on a hand again.

It doesn't put me on tilt, but it does leaves me confused.

On a more analytic note, does anyone like merely calling on 3rd or would you just go ahead and 3-bet and give away your hand?

I am probably 50/50 on it as a 3-bet pretty much means my hand is face up and they can adjust their play accordingly.

Since I am mostly likely not rolled up, they know I have a big pocket pair and they will know when I make 2 pair.
