A-Q Never Again!

Nope, never playing A-Q again. Raised 3X fold around the table, guy to my right pushes, I call! He’s got Ace King. FUCK! I’m hurt back and two hands later I go all in with pocket fours, called by Ace Queen and she draws a queen. Fuck fuck fuck fuck! Poker is a cruel game!

The Little Bastard with the 5 8 off suit

I have not been posting for a while but I’m back and have something to say!

This is to the punk who called my all-in with his fucking 5-8 off suit because he “felt it”! Fuck you and your straight! Do that again and my kings will hold up, I promise!

I didn’t say a word. I got up and left the table. I even shook hands with the little prick. Hey, I’m no Phil Helmuth! But now I can take my revenge on my little blog that no one reads! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, YOU LITTLE FUCK! Ha ha! Feel the wrath of Sir Underbelly!

That is the curse you have brought upon yourself. My words are here, for the whole world to read, and if I knew your name, I’d broadcast it to the world! I think it was Bob, or Bill. It began with a B!

Keep this in mind, all those that face me at the poker table, I will belittle you in this type of harsh way in this blog. How will you feel than! I’ve had 6 hits in 2 fucking years and those hits will read about you and your bogus poker playing ability! Ha ha!

Lucky Break in Hold’em Game

So I’m at the final table with 5 people left and starting to get short stacked. On the the button, I get K-10, both diamonds. I call the BB. The SB called as well and the BB checked.Maybe I should have pushed but I don’t like my hand all that much.

The Flop comes, K,3,4, rainbow.The three is a diamond.

Both other players chech, so I figure they missed. Seems safe since they didn’t raise preflop. I put in a pot size raise hoping to take it down. The SB folds but the BB things for a bit and calls. Turn is 7 of diamonds. The BB checks again.I’m thinking that he has something like a K-rag and just wants to check it down. I push!

He yells, call. (not what I wanted to hear). He has 5-6 and hit is straight. He called a huge bet with a open-ender and hit. Hummm.

The river, Ace of diamonds. I hit my flush!

I go on to win the tournament.

Somethings it is just one hand that you can point to as your key to winning.  I had a little under a 25% chance of double up of missing the money and I hit. That my friends is the difference between a good night and a bad night.

Should Have, Could Have, Would Have!

If you are they type that says this, shut the hell up!

Everytime I play poker, someone mentions that fact that they would have had a great hand if they wouldn’t have folded. I’ve even seen Doyle do this. But what really pisses me off if some asshole say, “Should Have, could Have, would Have,” with a freakin’ stupid grin on their face, like they actually said something profound. Fuck them! It’s stupid. And more than that, they are the same assholes who always cry over the hands they didn’t play!

So, if your a poker player and you way these words, you’re an asshole, but it’s not to late to change. Stop saying the stupid crap!

Sorry, had to get that off my chest!

New Poker Player Took My Chips!


.
Five handed, single table, have a good chip stack, probably second in chips and I’m on the big blind with Jh-8h. Everyone just called and no one raises. I check.

The flop, 5h, 7h, As.

Player to my right checks. I put a three-quarter pot bet with my flush draw. Fold, fold, fold, back to the first checker who calls me. She’s the small stack, about half of what I have.

At this point I’m putting her on an ace, although she usually would have raised with an pair of ace’s, I’m thinking she’s got a bad kicker and thinks I have an ace as well.

Next card Ah

She puts in a bet, a smallish one, which tells me she got her trips and thinks it’s good. I do have the flush and I figured that’s what she is afraid of. She is one of those newer players who still thinks this backwards logic. She’ll say things like “I only bet a little because I thought you may have the flush”

Anyway, here is how I might played it badly, but I don’t think so. Normal logic says for me to bet big because she might have a higher heart and might catch another on the river, or the fill up if she has trips, so I need to push her out.

The problem with that, she is a new player and, while I might get her to fold a flush draw (and that is debatable), I’m not getting her to fold trips, which is what I was sure she had.

I just call

River – 10c. She bets, I raise, she moves all-in, I call. She has A-10 off, and filled up on the river.

Here was my thought, she is a beginner player who is short stacked and I’m convince, would have played it the same way if she had trips. On the other hand, in hindsight, knowing that if she has trip ace’s and we would probably get all our money in anyway, I might have pushed on the turn, and maybe, just maybe, she might have folded.
