Was playing live the weekend 10c/25c at some small bar. Probably was playing for about 7-8 hrs so this guy sits in and plays really weird and shows his cards and shit.
So anyway we're 8 handed and action goes like this
1fold,2limpers,fold,limp,fold,he raises out of the small blind. I 3b standard size, all limpers fold, villain flats and flop is KK7, he turns over KK and shoves???
What's my play BC?
wut
Call, ldo.
If nobody gives me a serious answer I'll quit posting in the BC. That is all.
Call with a flush draw, ftw.
Pretty sure flush loses to quads and we can't make a royal.
fold (based on above post which would indicate we're drawing dead)
Call sometimes. Fold others. L D O
Didn't realize this was a serious question. Fold, and don't even think about leaving that table until you've taken him for every penny, unless he's playing some weird 'Maverick' shit where suddenly turns around and starts pwning you. Then ask him how much he charges for coaching.
If he only charges $25/hr it's dranger so Idk, walk away.
Pot size and effective bet size please.
Math sucks :rolleyes:.Quote:

it's live cash you can do whatever the fuck you want
also, bad beat jackpot size/rules/existence vs eff stack size is important.
i'm not trolling with either of my answers btw. jkds obv gave the best answer
well not to derail, but i'm pretty sure if you turn your hand faceup before announcing check or bet, then it's assumed that you're folding your hand.Quote:

Depends on the house rules.Quote:

Wait, you mean if there's enough in the pot, we can call based on pot odds? But we're like a 2,000;1 dog math can't possibly justify a call since we're behind can it?Quote:

theoretically, yeah? KK should be winning on this board what like 99.9% of the time vs ur AA. you guys would have had to be lol deep for a large enough pot to make a call ok. what was his raise size frm the blind?
So he shows you quads ... and then shoves?
Why is this even a question?
More people itt need to be asking themselves this.Quote:

(also TPC I'm not going off at you, you just asked a useful question to quote, you know I love you baby, call me xx)
I'd say based on the following statement quit or come up with something worth posting!

I guess you could just have the balls to reach over and rake in the pot. Then kick the fuckers ass if he whines!
There are no possible royal draws.Quote:

The most obvious question to me is, "how many outs do we have?". There's obv outs for villain and we still don't know bet to pot ratio so that's an obv question also. But since this thread is still alive, I'm guessing there's something more obv staring me in the face and about to kick me in the nards.
Ahh, yes, just realized that the hero's hand was in the title, I didn't realize he definitely had AA.Quote:

Obvious troll is obvious, I mean who plays live 25nl for 8hrs straight :clap:Quote:

These are really important pieces of information and yes the math would say this is a call if we were getting the right odds. The only reason villain would turn his hand face up is because he would want us to fold our last 25c chip(our card protector) if we had AA and were getting say like 4000;1 or something.
Hmmm........pointless thread imo!

Yaawn asked this same question once, drunk, in the IRC.
It's obviously the key to understanding poker.
No actually I'm pretty sure it was someone from the forums, but I'm not sure who? Hrm.Quote:

Assuming we have 0.1 % equity and call x the number of bb's villian must bet then
xB/(22.4B + xB) < 0.1
x< 2.5B or $0.625
Villian had to buy in for < 11.5bb's or $2.88 for this to be a call :p
I prob screwed up the number of bb in the pot so whatever. I also think it should be 2xB in the denomonator to include villians call but I ain't doing it again.
Or there's just a thread in the digest called "How to Analyze Calling an All-In".Quote:

Ill ask if we can run it twice, then I fold on any or no answer
I buy him another beer, make sure he knows where the ATM is and become good friends with him before I take his bankroll.
I make him my facebook friend for giving me 3 buyins over the next 3 hours.
I invite him to my homegame and if I dont have a homegame I set one up and invite him.
In all situations, I laugh out loud and show him my aces as I say to the guy behind me"What a donk, any side bets on how long before he goes broke?"
There are plenty of instances where the bold is wrong.Quote:
