unsure how i made this fold, i had no real read on my opponent, but i had a really strong gut feeling i was behind, i actually named 9 10 ? in the chatbox before i folded, and my opponent a completely genuine player showed.

I just wanted to share this to show im not all that bad.

harvey23

you folded TPTK wow insane.

Just a thought Don, why are you sudenly playing 30NL when only a few days ago you were moving up to 8NL, and if you're gonna play at this level doing so with <50 BB's isn't the best idea.

i wanted to see if i could compete at this level. Sat down with £15 and just stood with £41 so cant have done too badly, although the hands i got paid for played themselves.

haha bankroll management isnt in mine or dons dictionary, sometimes will enable us to win lots more through better players other times this will make us busto weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well played don, although a bit of a card rack from when i joined :P

The_Don90

Yea DoHHH said i played it too aggressive, my notes said shed likley call. So i went for it. and in fairness she was calling everything to that other guy, oh dam how i wanted to get into a big pot with him,

SHANXTA

got a feeling u passed here due to playing with scared money, esp with no reads.

and its prob not a gd idea to base whether u can beat 30nl off one one table sesh

donkeyplop

If you raise you can isolate one player and if you then hit a flop like this there's more money in the pot so you can bet more, thus winning more. Also sick outdraw mate but s*** happens.

donkeyplop

i know what you are saying mate but in early position is it wise to raise with this hand??

or would you just fold these kind of hands????

i think these are the spots where im getting into trouble!!!!

it wasnt scared money i was more than happy to get it in, when i was confident i was ahead. But because of the level of player i was against, basing that the player is a NL50 player i knoew the re-raise was enough to tell me i was behind. I was happy to lose the money.

Also i fully agree with the point in bold.

donkeyplop

i watched a guy join a 15/30p table last night!!!

with £3!!!!

do you think he was playing with scared money??? ha

fair enuf, was he playin uber tight?

DOHHHHHHH

Tight?? it was cliokid!!!!

I was watching the table, cliokid had shown the nuts, (89 on 67T board) and AA AIPF....the only 2 times he'd shown cards.

Even so, I dunno how Donald got away from this.......

When the time bar was running down, I knew Dons hand, and I really did think it was a scared money fold.

But he had it spot on....

lol u never fold this at nl4 tho don?

And these £3 stacks at nl30....ughhhhhhhhhhhhh they haunt my dreams.

donkeyplop

funny you say that dohhhhhh as it was your table!!

you were heads up on a 6 seater late last night and some guy sat down with £3 ))))))))

DOHHHHHHH

hmmm was it the one i was winning on or losing?

I think I was playing heads up on 2 tables at once.......

Was handling it ok too my head normally spins, and was mtt tilt.

U shudda sat down with 4 beans and stacked him!!

donkeyplop

i nearly did sit lol.

you were doing ok you had about £70 behind i think.

Your probably correct mate. At NL4 JJ would have re-raised pre i imagine, players there re-raise with A2 alot of the time. As a result TPTK is often good.

Against better opponents its an easier lay down. Players are more trappy, and it just didnt feel right, it felt like there was something wrong.

And in all fairness, you did see i was happy to put the money in.
