Why'd you throw the rest in on the flop?

Loose call by your opp pre-flop. He deserved it :wink:

well my reasoning was I wanted to protect my 1200 I accidentily threw in there and I was on a flush draw even though the board was paired I didn't put him on jack 7 to call that big of a raise so I put him on the ace jack. I knew he had 3 of a kind and If I were to hit the flush I would get paid, and turns out I was right so I threw the rest in.

Am I wrong in this thinking? I am trying to sharpen my game. I know these are only 1 tournys with 45 people but I've finished at the final table pretty consistently.

When I add money to my account I guess I'll play with bigger money games tournaments.

It's a bad idea to do this. Your only going to hit the flush once every three times, the other two your out of the tournament. A 1/2 - 3/4 pot bet tells you if he has the J.

Yup, done this a few times - watch me flail to explain my comments when I think I lose but then realise I won - "oh, I was saying "aaargh" in sympathy for you there, mate"

Not sure you're a very good poker player, though :)

Yea fair enough everyone has to win the odd coinflip or whatever on their way to win a MTT, but why put your money in when you are loosing? That is not the point of winning poker.

If you wan't to gamb00l go buy a scratch card.

Ok lets say I would of checked the flop, well knowing he had made a set, he would of probably checked too to slow play them not putting me on a draw, then the turn would of came with the spade either way I wasn't loosing this hand, and I didn't want to give him a free card to make his boat.

So I felt I did the right thing on this one. And last I checked a flush beats 3 of a kind so who's losing?

Aye, I "reckon" I can. Ever heard of some people having great "ESP" I am one of those people.

Hell once I turned 100 bucks into 4500 in one setting playing mini baccarat just by listening to my gut

Can't really comment on odds given your awesome gut's capability at predicting RNGs. But if we assume that your gut is in fact filled with vital organs instead of mystical hooha, calculation shows you to be a fool:

Code:

pokenum -h as 8s - ac jh -- jd js 7s Holdem Hi: 990 enumerated boards containing Js 7s Jd cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV As 8s 288 29.09 701 70.81 1 0.10 0.291 Ac Jh 701 70.81 288 29.09 1 0.10 0.709

And you can't really expect to post here about your guts magical contents without getting ridiculed. Folks here have made too much money off of people's magical entrails.

Do any of you guys take fold equity into consideration? What about the gap theory? Just because someone is raising A8 suited doesn't mean they're a fish. I do stuff like that all the time in the right spots.

When shysti jammed the flop on the flush draw, fold equity was definately taken into consideration. No one wants to race for the 33% draw. I know I don't, but when two jacks flop you got yourself some fold equity right there on top of the strong draw. Huge pot too. Go for it.

Stop knocking shysti when any of you might pull the same moves.

I'll tell ya why shysti is finishing well in tournaments. Shysti is at a table full of camping rocks who have no creativity whatsoever besides "hey look AA all in". Shysti is making moves stealing pots from tightwads like a person should be doing at high blind levels. A8 suited in the cutoff?... RAISE. She probably got called by AJ on the misclick raise because the huge raise was supicious. Otherwise she might have stolen the blinds.

Thank you! I know I wasn't crazy in my way of playing. I am not wet behind the ears when it comes to this game. LIke I said earlier I knew my opponents that is one of the most important things I take into consideration when I do pull moves like this.

I never called him a fish. I said A8 was not a good hand and I stand by that. In the first hand preflop is fine but you don't have to risk all of your chips in that spot on the flop if you are trying to get a fold. You can bet like 800-1000 chips and get the same result. The second hand there is a raise UTG and he reraises w/ A8. Thats not a good play. I understand what the results were but you can't focus on results. If you missed your flush on the first hand and don't make a straight in the second hand would you ever consider posting these hands? I mean, this is the strategy forum, where is the strategy in this post?

Look at it this way, reverse the roles, you see me put in a big raise you call with the AJos, then you see the flop gives you a set and you see the flush draw out there, now say I would of checked, what would you of done at this point?

Say you checked too to get me to bet at you, then on the turn comes the spade and you see the flush out there, now you see that that flush beats your set and all of a sudden I come all in, now what do you do? You already invested huge chips into a big pot very early into the tournament, do you let this guy push you around? Or you fold and take a big hit to your stack ?

I was trying to get a call, like I said in just that ONE particular case that I posted I had a feeling I would hit the flush. I know how to bet to make him fold trust me.

Anyhow there was plenty of strategy in this in that I had made a mistake with my bet and was now trying to recover from it by making him make the mistake, which he did.

Remember poker is a game of making correct decisions. He failed to do that.

I mean lets examine that bet, sure it looked suspicious but what if I had made that raise with pocket rockets? He would of been an underdog then too. With Kings I was a small favorite. Either way even with my A8 he was in for a race.

Ok lets say I would of checked the flop, well knowing he had made a set, he would of probably checked too to slow play them not putting me on a draw, then the turn would of came with the spade either way I wasn't loosing this hand, and I didn't want to give him a free card to make his boat.

I think thats evidence enough that while many good players might make this play (attempted blind steal, semi bluff with the nut draw to gain fold equity on a paired flop) it's pretty obvious that THIS particular play was made for the wrong reasons.

You knew he had flopped a set? *boggle* How?

When you are BEHIND in a hand and not the FAVORITE, you are the one who wants the free cards, you don't need to give the guy who is a 72% favorite a free card to make his boat to beat your ace high...He already has a set, you have a draw.

Quote:

well my reasoning was I wanted to protect my 1200 I accidentily threw in there and I was on a flush draw even though the board was paired I didn't put him on jack 7 to call that big of a raise so I put him on the ace jack. I knew he had 3 of a kind and If I were to hit the flush I would get paid, and turns out I was right so I threw the rest in.

Wtf is that? He hasnt acted on the flop yet. How can you put him on a hand that connected to the flop? You threw the rest in absolutely needlessly. This play is the equivalent of folding AA pre flop. It is never ever under any circumstances the best possible play. Lead out 1000 and if he has nothing he'll fold. If he has something he will push and you can save yourself half your stack. If you throw the rest in and he DID connect the flop, you're way behind, and you lose the tournament...This is silly. This thread gives me a headache.

You already invested huge chips into a big pot very early into the tournament, do you let this guy push you around? Or you fold and take a big hit to your stack ?

1. I don't call a big raise w/ AJ
2. If you check on flop there is no way I check behind w/ a flush draw out there.
3. If I was dumb enough to check and give you a free card, I have to fold and take a hit to my stack because I am not making a stubborn call and busting out.

Remember poker is a game of making correct decisions. He failed to do that.

He made the correct decision and you sucked out. He had 3 jacks, there is no way he is folding.

Remember poker is a game of making correct decisions. He failed to do that.

You just made me look really stupid for defending you. He made the correct decision by calling. You failed to by pushing. Feelings schmeelings. there's no room for crystal balls in hold-em. Only intuation based on knowledge of the game. If you put the guy on AJ, then you should have never pushed, since your fold equity was squat.

Not to mention he was counterfeiting some of your flush outs.

You sucked out Jr.

Summary:

You made a mistake pre flop with a misclick. Understandable.
You knew through psychic powers what cards your opponent held.
You knew your own cards.
You knew he would call if you pushed.
You did it anyway.
Psychic powers worked out because you knew the two of spades was going to fall on the turn.'
You win at poker.

whew, you had me worried for a sec, Rondavu.

what I'm confused about is just below the original post you say:

But now, despite being illuminated both mathematically and anecdotally, you are defending your play based on ESP... which is fine, more power to you (more money to me), but surely you didn't expect people to say "Oh, good call, ESP is always right."

I mean, if you knew what he had, and knew the flush was coming, and knew his FH was not, why post this at all?

No i never said ESP rules it all in poker that's an assasine statement. I just said in that one particular hand. anyhow i am too tired today to make sense dont mind me today. I am in a poker league www.ccsmooth.com I finished 4 last week out of 80 I hope to do well tonight!

Nope I had a draw to the flush, which came on the next street. Yes I realized I played and got lucky. But he was a worse player than me he was right for calling with the set.

You put him on AJ before you pushed???????????? If you put him on a range in which AJ is one a few hands your push is OK. If you put him on AJ your push is dumb as fuck.

Really why don't you explain that, based off the implied odds if i were to hit my flush I think it wasn't "as dumb as fuck"

Typical smart alleck remark of a typical forum poster so I'll throw one right back at you:

The same as pot odds except it takes into account making bets in the future. Thus, you may call a bet at the flop, but have implied odds of making bigger bets on later rounds if you hit your draw. So, if you have AK of spades and the flop comes two spades, your implied odds are what you have to call at the flop compared to how large the pot will be at the end of the hand.

Quote:

Correct. So, after you go all in, there are no future bets, implied odds have no relevance. So you know the definition, just gotta work on the application.

Implied odds would, however, have some bearing on the hand if the opp made a bet that was slightly out of your pot odds to call with your flush draw, but you figured he would bet/call a bet on the turn if your flush did come up.
09-14-2005, 02:28 AM
Hogimacaca

ok. my take:

you genuinely thought A8s was a good hand since you posted twice that you raised with it. You thought since he called that huge bet preflop, he cant call on a board that is paired possibly giving you trips and or quads or whatever you were thinking...but wth ive got flush outs if he does indeed call with an overpair. Now if he for some reason had pocket sevens, you would be dead and this hand wouldnt be so funny. Now you feel the urge to post and say hahaha. Numbers are thrown out at you so you put up some bs excuse for how you played it thinking you would be praised for a nh. but you, being the kind of guy we love, are proved wrong on your play and revert to the ESP that you have gained throught the freak accident at the power plant. and .......ummm...........

nice hand

oh yea, i love you

Shysti,

If you were playing these hands in real life, exact same situations, and your opponent flipped his cards face up so you knew what he had, would you still make these calls? All the money is going in these pots in every hand that you've shown us when you are significantly behind. That A on the river suckout is huge, you were less than 10% to win that. These are not good plays. Are you posting these just to get this kind of attention? You must know these are bad hands...everyone makes bad calls once in a while, but don't lie and say that you think they are awesome reads or something. :/

hey shysty, i made an ebook, its called "Never get Bad Beated at the Party Poker (or ANYWHERE) EVERZ rOfLoLcOpTeRz!". It has a pretty hefty price of 10 grand, but i mean seriously, you will never lose again, ever. You can just sit at 2000NL and make that up in no time. Anyway, just send me the money on party or neteller, pm me for details.
