come watch (pacesetter20), its a fun table. Col. Mustard goes all-in or fold, all the time. I think he's up to 24 rebuys plus the addon. I've only got 7k right now. Probably would have about 20k if I didn't lose two coinflips v. Col. mustard AKs v. 33 and QQ vs. AK, him winning with 33 and AK, respectively.

Uh yeah, nevermind. Let me recap the insanity.

About three hands after the break:

Dealt to me: in SB. Call and the button raises to 560, I smooth call and both BB and limper fold.

Flop: (beautiful flop for me) He bets 1k, I wait and call. 2.4k in the pot.

Turn: (another beautiful card) I check he bets 2.6k, I move all in as fast as possible, he calls turns over ($$$$$$$) - 15k in the pot

River: (F#$& $@@# $#*$I $*&@#*%&@*$&@*&#)

He did say sorry so that makes it all better [/sarcasm]

Wow, I swear I read somewhere that you play $44 tourneys, are you serious?

Sorry but this hand was played badly, very badly

Yes I do play $44 dollar tournies on BODOG. I made a transaction with SeanBullets1, which left me 50 bucks in FTP, which I'd had previously withdrawn everything from to fund my vegas trip over the new year, so i was donking around low-limit tournies on FTP.

Why was it played badly? Because I didn't insta-reraise all-in pre-flop? I know what I'm doing when I slow play, as seen above I got all his chips in a dominating position, in perfect position to win all his chips, less the river card (when all the money was already on the table). How pretell do you intend to get all his chips in with AA vs. 88? Where as before I'd maybe have won 1 or 2k in chips, by the standard bet/reraise/all-in. I'd like to hear some other opinions on this.

i agree with you puddle, i dont know the blinds, or how the person plays, but i do know that insta shoving preflop isnt getting value for the hand, you cant figure him for a 3 on the flop so once again i think the semi minraise is pretty standard. the turn push is standard, its just unfortunate that he sucks out on the river.

villans logic insta calling the push on the turn is way off. you completely played that hand like a monster, and he shouldent be feeling to good about his eights at this point.

you played the hand right IMO and he was a complete donk for calling that shove on the turn.

nuff said

A re raise all in isn't necessary. With a limper a raise most certainly is, especially out of position. If the button is half decent then his range is wide so we need to re raise to narrow his range for seeing a flop. A call also gives more favourable odds both for the limper and the BB to see a flop. You are encouraging at least 3 way action and this is horrible.

If he is decent and respects your game then he will also see your re raising range from the sb to a button raise as quite wide and will therefore 4 bet shove a lot of hands, possibly (probably even) including 88.


If the guy has 99, you don't play it any differently post flop and if you think he's folding 88 to a PF re raise then he is folding 99 too.

As you magically got HU to the flop, post flop it is played perfectly.

I don't like preflop, you have to raise imo.

Postflop looks good.

No limpers, I called a raise, if he limps that a whole different story.

even if you reraise preflop, im thinking he's still calling this, and when a dry flop like 9 33 come up, he either pushing the flop/turn, or MAYBE (rarely) folding this on the flop.
but either way im seeing this jackass getting his money in with the 88 and still sucking out, but thats results oriented so ill stay away from that

You said there was a call before the raise, ie. a limper.
