A thread to talk about poker

I played in a $30 no-limit tournament last night...about 20 people. i was out on my 7th or 8th hand. KK, made a pretty hefty raise, other dude went straight all-in so I called. 88 and of course and 8 comes out on the table. boo.

I. Hate. That.

It's good to know there's poker down there.

If I can give one word of advice to help you become more profitable at Poker...that word would be: Patience.

It's made me the most profitable over the past two weeks than ever before.

Was playing at an aggressive table and I'm under the gun, I get pocket rockets. It is a 2/5 table. Stacks average 500-1000...I buy in with $140 (super short stack). Action on the table has been crazy, so I make it 15 in hopes of getting re-raised. Of course, I get 4 callers. Flop comes K-10-8. I make it 65. I get one caller. Turn 9. I push the rest of my chips in. He calls. 4 on the river. I show my aces, he shows QJ. I didn't cry as I was leaving only because there was a cute waitress watching.

I played that totally farging wrong.

rough. chances are open ended straight guy was gonna call whatever after that flop.

i feel like i'm about 50-50 with AA or KK which doesn't make sense.

i played for about 3 hours in AC one night last week and pretty much broke even. i have so little fun playing poker at casinos. most of them are miserable fargs.

I agree with that. Worst part are the iceholes that throw their cards at the dealers or bad mouth them. Poker table tough guys sitting at a 1/2 table. farging dickshteins.

Where are you able to buy-in for $140(28BBs) @2-5? You should be trying to get 1-3 callers there pre and create a stack to pot ratio of as close to 1-1 as possible. Assuming the standard raise at the table was 25. I would open to 25. Then ship literally every flop. If you try to piece mail it out you won't charge the draws. 25 pre, you would get probably 3 callers. Pot equals 107 minus the rake. Call in 100 for the sake to simplicity. Shove 115 at 100. If QJ calls there you are making money in the long run.

As played I would still ship the flop, because the stack to pot ratio is still pretty high and you are leaving yourself with peanuts on the turn.
