so I got outplayed at the poker table yesterday vol i cannot dodge bullets

[sickickz23]

still can't believe how well he outplayed me. But I gotta share.

5 players blinds are .50/1.00

I was right of the button. person next the the BB folds, next person calls, so does the next person. I have AK unsuited. I raise 3.50.( I had about 81 dollarsleft in my stack.) button folds. SB folds. Now I was cool with dude all night talking poker. But dude says "sorry man I have to re-raise my strong hand.He raised 16 dollars.(he has about 210 dollars in his stack) one player folded. Next player goes all-in with his remaining 15 dollars. So I call.

Flop comes

7h7dQd

Dude is first to act and bets 15. I think for about a minute. I call.

Turn is a Js. now he checks. Thinking is he trying to trap me or does he think I have those sevens.(which is what I should've represented)
But I check.

River comes a useless 3s. now he goes over the top and bets 25. I really had to think this one out. I had nothing but was out of position to do anything major.So I folded after two minutes. Dude shows his hand(Ace-10 club/spade) and says "I missed but I wanted to protect my hand". Dude played some realHelmuth-style poker on me. And he knew I would've taken that hand. He definitely read me as representing AK. First to act has nothing and bets real strong.I am not in the level to perfect the beauty of bluffing like he did. I aint mad. Just wanted to share.

FYI The other player who went all-in had 5-4 BTW smh......




For those that hate reading

me: AK raise 3.50

BB A-10 re raise 16.00

flop is nothing for us to hit. he bets 15 I call

turn we both check

river he bets 25 and I fold while we both had ace high but my king would've beated his 10.

You got bluffed, not a big deal, it happens, only thing you can do is learn from it and play better next time

But the guy who took you should not have shown his cards, what an idiot

Dude: pocket Queens
Me: J and 10

Flop: 3,J,10

Me: I raise 5
dude: call

Flop: 3,J,10,7

Me: I raise 10
dude: call

Flop: 3,J,10,7,Q

Me: raise 10
dude: re raise 15
Me : call


3 Qs....

damn

 

[84jordan03]

Just a little bit of info for you OP: the check at the turn should have of been a red flag that he was only protecting his original bet after the flop. A bigbet on the river, following a check on the turn is often a bluff (assuming the river is a card like you mentioned), especially with aggressive (assuming thatshow he built his stack) chip leaders

k... you see two people flat call ahead of you and you make a small raise... then get re-raised, have somebody call that raise, and you decide to just callthere with a marginal hand?


yeah - regardless of the cards, unless you have them incredibly well read, which you obviously didn't.. what the hell are you doing playing this hand? Youhave the entire table showing strength, you have a marginally decent starting hand that's likely dominated right off the bat (but wasn't luckily) andyou're calling into two players that have represented much strength.


Forget how the hand actually played out... look at the position you put yourself in from the start here.. you were left to assume you were dominated from thestart, then you had no choice but to fold or make a tough call on the end because of how you set yourself up in the beginning.

If you can't play good enough post flop poker to win, you need to be much smarter pre-flop.

At least, that's my philosophy on this hand.

Your fault, for letting him catch that hand....he could have had any big hand and youwere letting him catch up by just raising BS amounts....not sure what limit you were playing but still

1,2 NL

me: 54c
him: AA

im big blind, he raises from mid position to 10$, I call
flop comes 24J rainbow
he raises 15$, I call after a good 30 second long stare down
Turn comes a 5, I check, he goes all in - I call....and I took his entire 100$ stack...

I'm retired tho.....until 2009 or until I find a job

 

[ichopsamples]

Me: Pocket Q's
Dude: Pocket 4's
Flop Q3S4s
Me: I bet 50
Dude; Calls and Raises 100 More
Me: I Call
Fourth Street: 4h
Me: all in!
Dude Calls:
ME: uhh ohh! I better Win
ME: I got a full House
Dude: sinks my Boat with a Four of a Kind with 4's

I don't play Poker anymore

I hear you. If he checked or betted less on the flop, I would've re-raised him to see where I stood. But yea, my mistake was that I thought myread on him was that he had AQ or got his set of Qs.

True. Maybe if I betted on the turn, the outcome might've been different. Then I was thinking "is he trapping me with his boat or doeshe have Qs up and wants to see I had those sevens.

Thinking about it now. Yeah, I should've betted on the turn. He would call. And on the river, either another 15 bet or check which I would follow suit.Damn

yeah that's bad, but those hands really don't faze me anymore. I've been on the upside of that and down. I rather lose to that type ofa made hand though. Idk I guess that's just me or that I play too much poker at the casino.

OP is a horrible poker player, you didn't get outplayed, you just plain suck. What the heck were you doing calling on a flop you COMPLETELY missed withace-high? Your opponent checks the turn which is a sign that he's giving up, and you check behind him? Then he bets again on the river and you considercalling even though all you had was ace-high?

But the guy who took you should not have shown his cards, what an idiot

How else was he supposed to win the main potagainst the guy who went all in pre-flop?

This reminds me of a time I was playing just for fun with a few of my boys, most of them are horrible, but my friend took the cake for dumbest decision of alltime. #1 is short-stacked so he limps in. I have AK so I raise. #3 calls. #1 re-raises a bit more and is all-in, me and #3 call. Flop is 8-8-J. #1 sees theflop and yells out "YES...I WON...and flips over pocket 8s".

There is no sidepot, so I just check, #3 checks. Turn is a blank, I check, my friend checks. River comes, I check, my friend bets half the pot. There was nosidepot, we already knew 100% that #1 had won the pot with his Quad-8s, yet my friend #3 bets the river anyways. I obviously fold, and dude turns over A-10like it meant something

You just called both times. You should have went over the top either preflop or after the flop, or you could have folded to his reraise preflop. You had a very strong hand and you never made any moves, you just called him twice, you deserved to lose that one.

if you recognized that he was bluffing the turn (which is to expect a big bet on the river), the thing to do would have been a BIG re-raise on his river bet.this is highly effective.

my brother has caught me bluffing like this a couple of times, thats how i learned one of my mistakes (not betting the turn = showing weakness).

The important thing is: You have to remember weaker players are predictable and stonger players constantly mix it up. Good Luck

 

[obie21]

i was playing with this chick last week, who kept sucking out on the river
she was calling with anything 8,5 outsuit, 4,10 outsuit.
and was catching straights and ttrips

it was disgusting

Started with 20 and left with 65. Like you're an ESPN regular yourself.

And please don't compare your story with mine. That is utter stupidity on what he did. Betting on the river and other dude showing his quads after theflop. We all had nothing on the community.

yeah that crossed my mind too. Thanks.

sometimes a sneaky call is better than a re-raise. Sometimes.
