Look At This

i guess u missed the part where i said ALL he did was bluff. I knew he hit None of that flop, and was completely right, I dont think i needed to protecthis 4.7 chance of winning that hand.

That's fine.... but you're not allowed to complain when someone sucks out on you if you don't protect your hand.

Think about it.

I'll say again:

[JDMcNugent7]

alright, ur right i shoulda pushed the turn,
no more complaining

I agree you can't complain, but I don't think his play was as horrible as everyone is making it out to be. Hasn't anyone been at a table with a guy that bets frequently with any two cards? If that guy is going to bet into your set like that, why not try to milk it? If I didn't have a read on the guy I'd have to put him on an A at least and of course I'd bet the flop in that situation. But considering the read he had on the guy, and I've had similiar experiences, why not slowplay? The reward outweighs the risk in my opinion.

For the record, I never said JD made a horrible (or even bad) play... I've just been trying to point out that getting sucked out on is the RISK you run when you slowplay...

If you are a 90% favorite to win a hand - guess what? That means 1 out of every time times you are going to lose. So when it happens, don't act like it was impossible or the end of the world or whatever.

It happens all the time. It's just math.

so you're saying because he bluffs a lot it's not possible he has a decent hand? what if he had something like Ac5c? i'm definitely raising with my set here. what if he has JT? QJ? JcTc/QcJc?? heck even a baby flush draw. i'm just saying that in these situations.. i really am looking to put a raise in.. because there ARE some draws out there.. and even IF the player is crap i still make this move more often because crappier players tend to pay you off with weaker hands as well. just my 2 cents.
