Another set question...
This villain as gained his stack like the hand you'll see. A luckbox who has been hitting. He plays 53/14/3 on a small sample. I have been given a ton of respect, so I wanted to play a speculative hand from the blinds (I will play this type of hand 1/1000). The BB would raise any limpers, so when everyone else went along I thought I had the right players in the pot should a monster hit.
Ask and thy shall receive. I am not too concerned about the result as you'll see, I think it's a cooler, you may not agree. I would like to know how my play went. I am concerned I played this wrong, but I need some validation if i did not.
I have been running like this. I sent a message to Poker Stars asking them to take me off the "unwanted list" as a joke. They did a hand review on me for the past 2 weeks. You know it's bad when they even notice the downswing. Anyway to cheer me up they provide a qoute from Brian Townsend.
"As it appears that you are just on a down swing I will leave you with a
quote from Brian Townsend, who is one of the most successful online poker
players in the world. This was taken from his blog after he went on a 1.4
million dollar down swing:
"I'm not gonna lie or sugar coat anything. Times are tough right now.
Though they aren't as tough as they were last April when I had my big plo
downswing. Its very reassuring that I had so much success after that tough
time. I know that I am going to rebound stronger than before as I always
seem to do. I am at a poker low right now but my last low was much lower.
I know that I will build upon this and be a stronger player for it."
The quote is for giggles, back to business
Here is the hand in question -

Well he had no reason to believe anyone had a 5. He's a dumbass though if he though you had an overpair. There was no way he was folding the turn with an OESFD.
Overall, just one of those hands.

Yeah I think you played this fine. Stars really sent you words of encouragement wtf?

like stars would admit they are rigged. ;)

unlucky, well played. This guy was crazy for making that call on the turn for all of his chips because the odds were not there.
-
odds may not have been there, and the turn is a bit late to play for overbet stacks with combos, but it was an OESF. still had a good many outs against the overpairs. but, he may be a donkey thinking you are trying to push him off with...nah, he had to respect the overpair because you did call the raise pf. 88+ had to be on his mind.
what was he thinking? kind of one of those things, i guess.
