Ridickaliss Hand

Replay Poker Hand Review

Hand

I thought that this was an interesting one. Limp pot. UtG flops 2-pair and SPLASHES for like over 4x pot. BT calls with bd flush and wheel draw. 6di gives BT weak flush draw (with a 4 in pocket) and counterfeits his A in straight draw. UtG bets large again about 40% pot (same amount of chips as flop) into those diamonds. UtG calls. River 3di completes the weak flush for BT (actually completes his straight too!). UtG checks but calls when BT jams. I guess she feels pot committed.

Dear God! Are both of these players as fishy as I think they are?

They probably know how to spell ridiculous though :stuck_out_tongue:

@napkin_holder stop wasting your time venting on this forum and go watch some Jonathan Little videos!

I don’t like Jonathan Little. I mean, he’s smart and everything, but I can’t take his delivery of words in short bursts. He drives me up the wall.

I like Bart Hanson, blackrain Williams and Fedor Holz. I could listen to Phil Galfond all day. And of course Negreanu is always good to watch him play live or analyze hands. He’s very good at breaking it all down into simple terms and explanations that a rank amateur like myself can understand.

Got 2 watch the movie " Rounders" I watched it again- 13Th time last Thursday n then went 2 the casino and won a little money…Seriously though, Kid poker is a good one 2 watch n learn from, i like him as a player n especially as a person.

I would suggest just sticking to 1 source until your fundamentals are really well-established; you seem to still be looking for a baseline strategy

Some GOOD free advice----just go 2 a local casino ( i see you love poker) and play the smallest game n play a few hours every chance u get—watch the good players (there are some in small games ) and just play a lot and forget about reading poker books n listening 2 n watching pros on tv etc…You will get much better by just playing real poker…Good luck and i am sure you will become very good in no time at all.

  1. I can see where BT is suspicious of the 4xpot bet.
  2. I cannot understand why they call. Either shove because you can beat a bluff or fold bc you can’t when you think the opponent is full of sh*t.
  3. The one thing I don’t know bc you’re using pot percentages to describe bets is the blind level. If we’re talking 10/20-30/60 the situation is more normal than 100/200 or more.
  4. I would have checked my two pair on the river with a flush on board. I also wouldn’t have bombed the pot earlier out of a world-weary anticipation that a straight draw would fill out, but that is experience which UTG may not have.
  5. Yes, she either felt pot committed or that BT was bluffing.

@bill8888

This is the reason Practice is always better than Theory in every type of activity or job e.g., plumbers, accountants, welders, lawyers and any medical field training etc.

Do you think anyone will actually believe what you just wrote?

Finally, someone wants to actually talk about the hand.

Me neither. That’s why I was shocked when I saw the reveal. That’s basically why I posted the hand.

You mean stack depth. You can see it in the link. UtG is 82bb deep and BT is 104bb deep to start the hand.

11

UtG’s actions are rather head scratching if you ask me, but judging by my notes on her I’m not surprised.

12

It is true-i sucked when i first started going to casinos, now i am average:).

13

AWWWW, that i WHY i said the LOWEST games–it is actually practicing n the only way 2 get better.

In reverse chronological order:

  1. I always seem to overlook the links.

  2. If she hasn’t played enough to know two pair on a tight board usually loses to a straight or flush, or if she does and hasn’t learned that most Replayers won’t fold those draws however hard you come at them, then it makes some sense.

  3. Replayers tend to view that many big blinds as money to burn.
