Raided? what for?
Raided? what for?
OK, just got back from my poker club and it was the first time I have been so completely outplayed. I tell you about the hand and I want to see how guys would have played it.
130 person tourney NL Hold em
Blinds are at 350 and 700 chips
I have about 4500 chips
Im in 1st position, i get dealt AJ
I call, everyone else folds except big blind
He raises 700, I call
Flop comes down 2,4,8 (no flush possibilities)
He checks, I check
Turn card, A - so i have top pair
He bets 1000
I re-raise all in (ok, this is where i fucked up big time), he calls. (we both have roughly the same number of chips)
He turns over fucking 2 and 4. mutherfucker has two pair.
Obviously river brings nothing so i fuck off home.
I was convinced he had A and some shitty kicker, but he played me like a fool. I mean what the fuck raising pre-flop with 2,4 offsuit???? oh well.
How would any of you guys played this hand?
That's where you start playing like a pussy so you don't go ALL IN.Originally posted by: Kenshiro

needless to say those hands are hard to guess, but also hard to win on...
he got lucky... and more lucky u had top pair (if you didn't have anything, you wouldn't have bet so much)
AJ in first position? i'd raise from the getgo.
but assuming i didn't and we both saw the flop, i'd raise at that point anyway. if anything, that'll force him to call (or raise) and it'll tell me that he got a piece of that flop. and that way, i won't have to lose any more money.
of course, i'm assuming this person is playing pretty tight. obviously ur style of play changes depending on who u're in the pot w/.
the guy raised w/ a 2,4 preflop b/c he thought he sensed a weakness. last position always has that advantage. u calling that preflop raise prolly let him kno that u definitely had some nice high cards. yes, he did get "lucky" on the flop but that's b/c u gave him the opportunity to do so. so the question is, if u came in first to call and raising preflop, would he have folded?
I came to the same conclusion this morning.Originally posted by: Honoko

Im always really cautious when playing from early position, but I guess this will teach me to not be such a pussy.
I am pretty sure if I had raised pre-flop he would have not have called.
Hehe ooo that sucks getting trapped. I would've raised to 2000 and see how fast he calls or raises me. Where do you play Ken?
Poker club called Gutshot. As far as i know its one of the two legal places to play in London.
Website is www.gutshot.co.uk if there are any londoners here who fancy a go.
Who wants to play texas hold 'em tonight. I'm down if we can get about 6 people total.
hmm maybe we should try again, i'd go in and kenshiro i'd probably do the same you did except going all in.

How do you get money from internet poker anyway? Do they send a moneyorder of some sort.

hey guys... wanna revive this poker thread and see if anyone is interested! I was thinking we could hold a poker tournament amongst ourselves and crown the GW poker champ! Anyone in?
sounds like fun, i'm in. No real money though, can't play for real money yet since i'm not 18 years of age yet...
I think in most states you have to be 21 to gamble, so I'm sure the internet sites are the same.Originally Posted by PSJ
BTW where are you guys planning on playing?
Nah sites located in Europe have an age limit of 18 and that is also the legal gambling age in most countries in Europe if not all.
Sounds fun. I'm in. My luck is bad in card games, so I'll prob lose fast, but whatever.

I don't mind playing poker with my friends now and again, but it's not one of my favorite card games. I just find poker boring after a few hands.
There's alot of diffrent poker games. Poker is the type of games that i never get tired of. It is quite boring if there is no money at stake though, you just doesn't focus like you should if there is no money involved.
