Hi guys

I got a bit of stick from a player at the table last night for continuing to play here. I don't see the problem with it being relatively early and possibly hitting a disguised straight. Do you feel its the wrong play? At this stage implied odds are fine because, imo, its a fair punt to take especially as it was utg raise so he may check turn if it was a J/Q and give a cheap showdown. I struck lucky i agree.

PS Much later with much bigger blinds he got revenge on me by catching his straight on the river with KJ on QTx flop and faced 1/2 pot bets on flop and turn. Now in my opinion that WAS a tilted play as he didn't having the pot odds for his eight outs and considering the % of his stack calling them used up.

Don't mind calling the 3b pre this deep.

Not loving the flop call though. We're basically hoping for 1 of the 4 remaining tens, and even then, we hate seeing the T of hearts, so we're probably drawing to 3 outs. The direct or implied odds just aren't there to be drawing that thin.

Cheers Steve, I noticed you picked me, thanks for the vote of confidence

I feel I've eradicated a lot of spew out of my MTT game recently, so fingers crossed (it is a 1dayer) I can make a good run.

it is a deepstack

you fancied a gamble on the flop

it paid off

good on you

although one can understand the villains pain

ps

that is the thing about deepstacks

you can take a few -ve ev punts

because if you hit it is good

whereas a miss ain't too bad

dnt mind how u played it u got a backdraw flush draw on flop aswell all good by me

Yeah, agree with general consensus. We are deep so yeah we can play more speculative hands and hope we hit big. As IDCU says we also have backdoor flush draw which adds one out for us so yeah, its negative expected value but hey, its poker, who doesn't like a gamble every now and again.

If we are playing purely mathematical ABC style poker then yeah, I suppose you could say it was loose but as long as you are ok with it being a gamble then fine. No probs.

The other thing would be that if you bump in to this guy a lot then make a note telling you that he thinks you are a station so you could get further value from this hand if you play pots against him in the future.
