ok so im in my dorms 5 minutes from the casino(holla) so i decide to hit it up today.
1/2 nl. i have $400, villians both cover. 9 handed
on button, one limper to me. i raise to $10. 2 of the regulars in the blinds, both are smart, agressive, thinking players call me. limper folds
flop is
reads so far: both players are pretty agressive, and would repop with alot of hands pf. like, even 88+ pf from one guy and both would with AK/AQ. they would call with alot too. they are loose and agressive but pretty solid players imo. so on this flop, obv. i would lose to 33, 44, and 34. TT repops pf from both of them. anyways
sb bets out $15. this is obviously a probe/blocking bet type thing. its not the full pot. he could be all over the place. air, FD, pair+fd, AT, KT, i thought that he would check raise with a set so right now he could beat me with 2 pair.
the BB thinks, then smooth calls. i raised, i think i made it 40/50 more on top of it. the sb thinks, then calls. from watching his play thus far, he didnt believe my raise at all. he had some piece of the flop and was trying to scare my into checking the turn behind, or, he was going to make a move on the turn. i had him beat.
bb is thinking now. and now at this point im looking at him right in the eyes and he knows im watching him and i can see it and RIGHT EXACTLY AT THAT POINT i thought in my head "hes going to try to get me off the hand." i could literally see him thinking about how much to raise. earlier when he had AA pf against me he had a completle differnt mannor when he 3bet me. i could tell. i had them both.
so anyways he says "how much do you have left?" and i count it down and he takes his chips and just pushes them into the pot. and i didnt call instantly even though in my head i was thinking "hes bluffing, i have him" i thought to myself about the last time he pushed me all in and how that it didnt feel like last time. then i thought about how he would play sets and it wasnt this way. the last thing i thought about was that he knows me as a very tight/agressive player who knows how to lay down a hand (i folded QQ postflop to him and AK preflop correctly both times) and i was thinking about what he could think I have. and i thought since he was making an overbet he thought that i would have to get away from an overpair or top pair and i could only call with a set of t's.
for some reason i couldnt put him on a hand but i just knew he was bluffing and i said "i dont believe you at all. call" sb folds and bb instantly goes "FUCK i thought you would fold jacks." he bricked and i scooped the pot
and if anyone thinks im bullshitting about just looking at him and thinking hes bluffing, i have no idea how i do it and i dont know why. i dont know like physical tells i just can look at people sometimes and combine the way they played the hand with how i think they appear based on their actions and if it makes sense i go with it sometimes im wrong and if it doesnt make sense i dont.
ridiculous call
