Lately I have been getting killed at the samll ring game on Empire, but consider it a cheep lesson as I am cleaning up at higher levels. I am playing NL25 here to clear the Nov bonus and getting scooled. I thought I really donked this hand. Opponent was pretty tight/agressive and re-raised my re-raise. I think I at least call here, but the straight is beckoning.


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero ($24.10)
Button ($24.65)
SB ($28.43)
BB ($7.50)
UTG ($96.48)

Preflop: Hero is MP with J:spade:, Q:club:. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
1 fold, Hero calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1) K:spade:, 9:spade:, Q:heart: (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.3, Button calls $0.30, SB folds, BB folds.

Turn: ($1.60) J:club: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.3, Button raises to $0.6, Hero raises to $3, Button raises to $7.

Hero?

Fold. You're in a trap hand.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

In retrospect, I never should have re-raised him in the first place. I think I forgot anbout the 9 being there. To combat this error I thought perhaps donating my stack might help the situation a bit (tilting?). I don't know what the hell I was thinking. Pretty much the most moronic play of the day I think for me.

Hero is all-In [$20.55]
Button calls [$16.55].

Yeah, I vote for a fold here. Call, and you only face another bet on the river. It's a shame to fold two pair, but it's a really weak holding with this action and this board.

OK, there is consensus. A fold was in order here. This is a case where I just got very lucky. I still deserve a kick in the balls for this play.

** Dealing River ** [ Qs ]
Button shows [ Ad, Td ] a straight, ten to ace.
Hero shows [ Js, Qc ] a full house, Queens full of jacks.
Hero wins $46.70 from the main pot with a full house, Queens full of jacks.

The great thing about the stupid turn bet is that it sets up an easy call of the stupid turn raise.
