How are you doing at the tables (Poker Thread)?

[poker]

Played my hand correctly last Sunday but blew it overall in a 8/16 game.

A-7 off suit (I dumped the hand preflop)

2 players left

Flop comes A-A-6

Both players check

Turn was the case Ace

Bet & called by 2 remaining players

River rainbow deuce

Bet with no call. Winner exposed her hand. J-J

By throwing my hand away, I gave up 50% of the Jackpot.



(and no I never said a word) LOL

ouch!!!! but it was the right thing to do.

Hit one in Biloxi for 6k last year.

First hand, JJ. on a 1/2 nl (100-300 buy in, I'm in for 2)

Flop JJx, I check, one bet for 10, I call

Turn A, I check, other player checks.

River is a blank, I pot bet for 40, other guy ($500 stack) goes all in with Aces full. I instacall.

Guy is cussing till the other players tell him he just won $12k.

I'm a little confused! I assume that you are referring to a bad beat of some kind. If that's the case, every bad beat, that I have ever seen, requires that both cards in your hand must play. You would have had 4 Aces, however, only one card in your hand would play!

Kelly... that story my friend makes you want to play bad poker! LOL. I'm sure that was doh moment. Sorry to hear the session didn't go so well. I hope you didn't have your mind set on that Bad Beat jackpot.

Johnny, both of kelly's cards would have played on the board A A A 6 2. His 7 is the kicker for quad A's.

Johnny, that's interesting.....

so with this board A A A 6 2 and A 7 as your hole cards, what 5 cards play to make the best hand?

The four Aces and the seven are the best five, however, the Bad Beat Rules, in all casinos in Nevada, clearly state, that with four of a kind, the two hole cards must be a part of the 4 of a kind! Check with any casino that offers a bad beat Jack Pot, or even High Hand Jackpots.

My brother in law has in the past 6 weeks or so won...

$10k online
$23k real life tourney
$5k online
$10k online
$17.5k online

Played some 1/2 PL Omaha/8, PL Omaha, and 2/4 Stud/8 last night in rotation. It was a nice change of pace. Stole some with pot sized bets on the turn and river. Scooped a few Stud/8 pots. It was fun.

I have a home game every Saturday and Sunday night (anyone in Oklahoma is welcome to play) - I take away with more than I came over 85% of the time...and we've been playing for about 2-3 years now.
Dealers choice of several fun games...last weekend I was up 400% on Saturday and 50% on Sunday.

Just got back from an unusually long session for me (4am-11am) of 8/16. Did alright and cashed out way more than my buy in. No special stories really, the cards just happened to fall in my favor today

Very nice Kelly.. It's always a little surreal to play through the night and leave when the sun is blazing.

I'm heading to Tunica this weekend for some action Fri-Mon. Pray to the Poker gods for me. Maybe I'm in their favor. :]

I just started playing at full tilt poker and i was up earlier today but after a little losing streak I said that's enough for right now.

Last night's 4.5 hour session started dreary, lost half my buy-in in the first half hour. I hunkered down, made some good continuation bets and timed raises. Got most of my hands paid off when I had the best of it. Cashed out 7x my buy-in. wooot Tunica here I come.

Nice!

I seem to be on a dry spell. I can't seem to get anything together. Didn't have much luck in Tunica a few weekends ago. Although I finished up ahead overall for the trip, I was disappointed by my play at the 1/2 NL tables.

Got beat of a pot last night playing a home game. I've got QQ middle position raised to 15. BB (tight player called)

Flop Q 8 rag. He checks, I bet 15 knowing he's got something good. He smooth calls.

Turn A - He checks, I bet 25, he raises to 50. He'd been check-raising me all night catching me when I'm trying to steal the pot. I figure I've got him this time.

River 8 - He comes out firing 30 which I expected. No way he can check the River. I raise to 90. He considers and stalls, then goes all in for about 120 on top of his original 30.

I felt the pain before I even had to look at his cards. Of course I called, he turned over pocket A's. Interesting he smooth called pre-flop and the flop. I couldn't make anything else happen after that really.

Lost my last hand of the night with JJ against the same guy. He had Ac Kc. Flop 10c 7c 7r. Of course I couldn't get him off his hand after the flop. He caught his K on the turn.

So the money is right for you to call at a little better than 2 to 1 if the 70/30 percentage is right. Anyone think that you should fold in that position. Keep in mind this is a cash game, no tournament survival at stake here.

The 70/30 is a guess without knowing the players and a 1/2 game. Knowledge of them or higher stakes would change that.

Your right about the stakes and the players. Even if you're a 34% dog in the hand the money is still right to call.

At any rate I'm the one on the button. J3 saves himself 80 bucks (all he had in front of him) and mucks his hand. I was pretty surprised because I've made the same move on bluffs medium strength and strong hands and been called in each scenario. I had Qs 7s.

-------------

On to the next scenario, button limps, SB with Ac Qh raises to 10, BB calls.

Flop Ah 8h 3h

In the small blind you bet 15. BB calls button folds.

Turn. 10h

2nd nut out of position you check. BB bets 25, what's your next move?

25 into a 60 pot is probably a feeler bet. raise to 75 and either take it down or BB comes over the top all-in. either way you get the info without putting it all in.

Hey Big Al.. I meant to preface.. After the turn.. SB was sitting on about 150, BB had about 325. Same action?
