Felting Opponents

[jasonv12]

Yeah I hear you, its never feels good to get felted. I was stuck in the session for a while that is because I got felted myself so it was nice to earn back that lost money.

So now that you got me thinking about felting people and when I enjoy it is when they are the aggressor and you are smooth calling and then they make another large bet and you got the nuts so I like to re-raise and get all the chips in.

So maybe you could give me your opinion of the play I got felted on. I am in the high jack the KA suited. I 3x it folds around to the BB and he shoves. He had me covered. I called, he showed pocket tens. My cards didn't come and I was felted.

Do you think in the long run that was a profitable play?

Yeah, you can't really go wrong with AK because a you dominate AQ, AJ, KQs, or whatever else your opponent might be shoving and are just flipping (well 47-49%) with all pairs through QQ. Plus you have the money already in the pot to make even the 47-49% hands worth the risk.

If they have KK or AA also, they'd likely not just shove so they don't scare you away.

Sweet...felting six in so short a time is very good...

I know the only time I can think of people going down that quickly is in a tourney when blinds are raising or I guess in micro stakes.
