Hand I played yesterday

1/2/4 holdem, I have 600, villain about 500. Villain is the type who is decent enough 90% of the time, but also has frequent blow ups. Losing player overall.

I'm first to act with KhQh. Raise to 15. Folds to the straddle who calls.

Flop: 7h8c9c boh of us check.

Turn: Qs, villain checks, I bet 25, he calls.

River: Ks, villain insta shoves into the pot (about 450 into 80)


What do you do?

Interesting hand. It would depend on how he had been playing that day and how you feel.

worst case scenario is he holds pocket pair and made a set or hit a made straight on the flop. Straight makes a bit of sense but the pocket pair doesn’t given how the betting unfolded.

It’d put him on a bluff (missed flush or whatever) and call but it could be one of those reverse pretend to be weak all-in moves to get a shit ton of returns out of nothing.

I fold.

My gut says J10 suited. Maybe I’m just being negative but this would be one of those times where I’d hate to be in that position.

Was one of those situations where I knew if I called I'd lose, and if I folded he'd show a bluff.

Instinct was to fold, but eventually called. He had 10 6 off...........

The massive overbet on the river (even in an extreme case like this) is meant to be polarizing, but in reality it's 90% nuts in my experience. Should of folded.

Same guy did a similarly ridiculous play (against a rock) about an hour later when he flopped a flush.....but the rock had the ace flush, and he went broke.

10 6 off, what a flop. Jeez

I wonder if he’s one of those guys that has a “favorite hand” that he plays whenever he gets it, no matter how ridiculous. Maybe the only way I can see someone pulling that trash.

For a while my “favorite hand” was 9-10 suited, I’d play it even when I wasn’t supposed to. Then I grew up. Lol.

Well the guy with 10 6 was the straddler, so depends how much he straddled to play that dogshit 10 6 off

Not exactly unusual in this game.

Couple of nits but majority of regulars are loose and bluffy.

Have won and lost several thousand in few hours, despite 1/2 stakes.

I miss playing dealer call with friends. Most people prefer Texas Hold'Em now a days. I used to have a regular game where we played seven card high/low split the pot which I find way more fun. Also used to have a regular game where we played dealer call the game as we went around the table. Things like seven card stud with high spade in the hole splits the pot or five card twos wild or whatever.

I find these kinds of games more interesting, am I the only one?

I think so.

It’s a shame though because the ability to play other games can make you a better player in every way. I enjoy PLO Hi or HiLo, which is pretty tame, I know. This year I began watching and reading up on 2-7 triple draw, that game looks like fun, I’d love to play it.

2/2

I had AJ

Board A J 7 2 A

Villain pushed all in on river. 1200 pot.

Now, I’ll admit I had a few beers. Pretty drunk. I turned my hand over.

Dealer asks “you call?”. I sarcastically say, “no I fold” while pushing my chips in and laughing.

Dealer pushes me pot. Villain complains and says I folded. Everyone on table tells villain to not be petty. Manager is called.

Manager says I technically folded, but villain should be reasonable. He refuses, so manager says villain wins pot.

Back in the 90's, dealer call was all we did. We had some crazy ass games. 7 stud is boring to me.

Oh man... Alcohol and cards don't mix unless you're Scotty Nguyen.



I can't find the video but there was one table on the WPT that these young bucks were going at Scotty. Scotty proceeds to get drunk and just decimates the table and wins the title.

Villain is a cocksucker and I'd call clock on him for the rest of his life, in ever difficult situation he's in.

I don't even know this guy, and your posts makes me want to kick him in the fucking head.

Someone posted that video it was hilarious. I remember he asked one of the players “hey what does third place pay” right before busting them.

Savage <Lmaoo>

Maybe. Technically.

I guarantee if it was the other way round, I'm not taking the pot.

Yeah!
People need to learn, you don't prank Batman, you don't throw hot grease into the wind, and you don't screw with Scotty Nguyen!

"You call and it's gonna be all over, baby..."

Guy calls...

Scotty wins the WSOP title.
