Fish gonna fish

I read the thread and it sounds like he outplayed out. You constantly folded to his 3 bets like a little bitch until his stack dominated yours, so that he finally got his money in on you with cards that are going to win a high percentage of the time, because you were so desperate with that little stack that you couldn't even wait for hands to dominate him with anymore. If anything you both sound equally skilled. Is that right?

Lol. No. And it's not even close. At no point did his stack ever dominate mine. He was constantly risking his tournament just to attempt to stay even with me, I was casually risking 2-3bb's at a time as he folded over and over and over and over. As stated, and as you read, he was incredibly passive, EXCEPT when he'd 3bet. And when he 3bet, it was always a huge obnoxious overbet. Sometimes he would call pre, then fold the flop. Sometimes he would call pre, then make some obnoxious overbet on the flop. He actually did it a few times on the turn. But since I understand pot control, there was never a point where I felt the need to press. He obviously realized at the end that he was being blisteringly outplayed, and so resorted to his only weapon: luck. And when I was fully confident that that was what he was doing, I pinned him down and got him to stack off with K7o. I am not nor ever was angry about his play. I don't play like that. I've made plenty of $$ coercing idiots that they are playing optimally against me, only to pull the rug out from under them. I like the action, I welcome his play, I'll take it all day every day right to the bank.

You have proven time and again that you simply don't understand the game on the same level as some of us. You have stated that you don't want to learn, that everything that can be learned can be done so solely inside your own head, which, coincidentally, is the only place that you are a good player.

Good luck to you.

As I always say you can't beat stupid. Don't know how these people think they are any good but they do.

Holy cow where were you a couple days ago? I've looked long and hard for this type of intelligent analysis. Thank you so much! Now I finally see the light! I can't believe I didn't know this all this time.

What an amazing 10th post! The entire sight can now bask in the glory of your wisdom. Bow before kobra80!

Not saying that ya'll are wrong. But there are dynamics to hands and table settings that it appears that most of ya'll do not understand. And explaining it to you would be -EV

sometimes the hook or line do break dude when fishing and they get lucky, just throw your rod back into the water and keep fishing soon or later you will catch that wicked tuna ..gl at the tables

I agree with sickread. If you get it all in pre with A - rag you are at best 60-40 and at worst 9-91(against aces) and most often 27-73, which creates a negative equity against a 3 bet. I understand if you are trying to play aggressive, but when the blinds are so super high you have to pick your spots better or know how to put enough pressure on him to get him to fold K-7 (for example open shoving instead of small raising). I think you made a bad play here even if you think you have the best hand because unless you know for a fact you have him dominated, you create negative equity. If you felt you had him beat the best move would have been to call the 3 bet and make a flop judgement. Even though in my opinion I don't even call the 3 bet here because even against a hyper aggressor it's asking for trouble. That's why I'd let him control the preflop and I'd take control of the flops. I'd play very loose passive preflop and take advantage of him after flops come out. Then if he donks out then at least you played optimally.

sounds like he read you and beat you..... what's the big deal? why call PokerPoned an idiot?

Well, that sure sounds like good logic. So he read that he was behind, heads-up, then called himself essentially all-in with K7 offsuit. I'd never considered that, TomKat. What an impressive display of empathy you've demonstrated. Clearly you understand poker on a level that many of us will never know.

Please, enlighten us some more on the dynamics of this particular hand.
