May have to have another few months off. The dogs only just recovered from my last 'gone bust' moment.
He had 5.5k in chips
a 1300 call from him would still leave him chip happy.
Don't know what level game you were playing but if its a micro, 2nd pair is an insta call for a lot of people.
He called a raise with rags, I cant see him folding when he had actually hit the flop.
Not my sort of play, but people do like to play 'cards'
I know I'm just tilting and my move was STOOPID but I did have a bit of a read on him I knew he didn't have an A or a Flush and he called with middle pair with an A on a flushing board.
I spose it was a BH and that may have influenced him it was the only game starting within the 5 mins that I logged on so serves me right.
you must use all these experiences ,
as building blocks ,
poker is like learning to drive ,
allow for the odd crash ,
bumps , scrapes ,
splashes of mud ,
but when you got the experience behind you ,
must be honest and i don't mean to hurt your feelings ,
but it was a silly move in your part ,
but remember learn from your mistakes ,
and don't worry about other peoples mistakes ,
hope this will help you ,
and play the deepstacks,
less luck involved
As for this hand and play....youve lost me here this goes right over my head !!
So you've tried to bluff a big stack in a bounty hunter when he's getting 3/1 on a call, prob not the best idea!
And you seem to have taken it quite bad, maybe you're playin too high?
One thing i've learnt is not try and bluff in the BHs. You say it yourself, you were trying to represent and he didn't believe you, so whats the problem. Thats what happens when you run a bluff sometimes. So why not just man up and get over it.

I think the reason you didn't tell us this in the first place is you knew the answer.
BH is definately not the place for any sort of bluff.
Now he has 5.5k chips, 2nd pair, gutsgot and 20% of his stack risked to get a head.
You didn't stand a chance.
Hi Dave have PM'd you. Good to hear from you again!!!
I'm over my initial tilt moment wine and poker then good nights kip does world of good!!!
Good to have you back Mr Sponge.
Right move, wrong villain!
Would happen on any Site, or Live, I'm afraid - nay - pleased, to say. These guys are our profit!
i can not understand what the heck you are moaning about!
you called a min raise(allways suspicious) with 78 because "they were suited" then villian hits a pair and you cant let go?
if there is one thing i have learned about online poker it is not to make outrageous bluffs because the villian will almost certainly call with bottom pair!
tk is right you want these players so next time you call take the pot with a made hand....dave
As a piece of advice to all players, I'd say....bluff LESS!
Yes, bluffing gives us a feel-good factor, "wow, I'm good, haha", but it costs more than it gains in the long run.
Bluffing is fine - at the right time & place. Patience will serve you better.
Almost everyone bluffs too much these days - mostly for the wrong reasons, at the wrong time.
Go away for a little while and everything changes Michelle gone
And Davey, I was moaning cos tired and a little tipsy. First game back here for a while, an hour into it down to last 40 in mtt bh of about 140.
78 suited or unsuited can play well in some situations imo, but i wasn't really playing them i was playing the board and the player but timed and judged it totally wrong.
FYI when I play a pot in future I will only have AA or KK. With KK i will fold when an A comes on flop
even in my pub poker game on a tuesday night people call with bottom pair,one guy cant let go of anything,i go all in with 2 pair and he calls on river with ace high(good times)
i just dont know why people say"thats why i dont play on here" cos believe me all the other sites have just as many donks.i know how it peeves you off cos it happens to us all most nights lol,
if i come across you on the tables in the near future i will fold to your push!
because you wont be bluffing(honest guv)
good luck at the tables,...dave
Don't bluff the unbluffable and value bet them all the way when you have the goods.
Simple.
I have to explain tho that in this particular situation I was seriously cold decked and fighting to just pay the rent. I was being sooo tight I was squeaking when I walked. I only had 1 premium hand and got to show it down when I dropped below 10BB. I knew the initial raiser was on a steal which proved right and the BB had more or less the hand I put him on. I so wish I hadn't made the initial call because that stoopid decision committed me to the pot and the only way I could win was a bluff.
But all critisisms and advice is welcome. I am always willing to learn and that is one of the things I have missed. This is a great site for that.
I have changed it to something more appropriate!
I regularly go an hour or mre in the Deepies & never play ONE hand. So when I suddenly bring in a Raise UTG, what do you think my range is? Correct. And yet I still seem to attract 4 callers, always the regulaqr stations.
The art of being aware of who is doing what, who is in every pot, & who is not, is a lost one, so all we are doing is out-thinking ourselves.
If they fancy their cards, they will Call, whatever the circumstances, & however nitty we are known to be. They just will.
It's the same as 8 7, I know Mark keeps Banging on about 8 7 is the 'nuts' but in truth it's about as bad as 10 2 !!! If your in the BB with a couple of flat callers and you check your 8 7 fine but I wouldn't be playing it from any other position not even the SB ..
However I would play 3 4 ...4 5 ...5 6 ...6 7 .. depending on how many limpers where in from the 'cut off or BB' but not 8 7 ..or 8 9 ..... glk benny
