If it makes you feel any better @Windwalker - if this happened at my game, you would have won half the $1,500 bad beat jackpot!
I don’t think I’d ever fold a straight flush w only 3 of the connectors on the board, and my mind would be racing w/ a monster pot in play (regardless the high stakes, it’s a big hand in relation to blinds) AND the thrill having a straight flush.
But being able to read this on a forum, knowing the outcome and having zero emotion, the villian 3 bets you on the river right? Did I read that correct? How is he NOT doing that without a straight flush. Especially after he tanks and thinks it thru. And since you have the low, he must have the high. Your only call here is now hoping he is bluffing?
Thanks for sharing. Love when you guys post hand analysis. My memory is shit and I rely so much on instincts and luck tbh lol.
Totally. And again in the heat I would have called. Perfect example here’s pros/high limit players and it happened to them too w same result.It happens a lot more than you think in real play. Here’s a hand that in post analysis, Andy should have been able to get away from.
No way he's bluffing. But he could have the nut (non-straight) flush.Your only call here is now hoping he is bluffing?
I don’t see how he tanks, and reraises. He wants a call. He’s not bluffing, and he doesn’t have the A high flush. If he’s raising w A high flush…No way he's bluffing. But he could have the nut (non-straight) flush.
He tanked for three minutes before betting on the turn.I don’t see how he tanks, and reraises.
But we’re talking about the river and a clearly thought out 3 bet. I wouldn’t suggest him tanking everytime is a tell that he has the nuts. Just it wasn’t emotional. He’s representing straight flush (and has it or is bluffing)?He tanked for three minutes before betting on the turn.
The stakes matter though. I would bet the majority of the commenters so far would be fine losing $500-1000-even 5000 to such a cooler. But potentially $300000 is different. Which is why I would have opted to just call and count my blessings to have hit a straight flush (and the other guy can count their blessings he didn’t lose more).It can never be a fold and (at my stakes) I’ll 100% jam the river. Maybe that’s bad but come on, only beaten by one other 2-card straight flush!
Just a horrible cooler
Totally agree. Maybe I'm just garbage but if this was the initial assessment of our villain, there's zero chance I'm not jamming with the smaller straight flush giving him the full double up:Actually, only calling the 3-bet and not fully doubling him up is the silver lining here.
But also, I fold preflop.villain SS is $240K, up $140K.
Villain is TIGHT! Clearly not comfortable with the stakes, has shown down almost only premium hands, but has sunrun a bit recently, having callers with 2nd best hands. (2 set over sets, one K high flush over a Q high flush). Relatively predictable.
Of course, I use $300k to buy a house, not to jam rivers with. But I don’t think it means quite as much to the people at this table:The stakes matter though. I would bet the majority of the commenters so far would be fine losing $500-1000-even 5000 to such a cooler. But potentially $300000 is different. Which is why I would have opted to just call and count my blessings to have hit a straight flush (and the other guy can count their blessings he didn’t lose more).
In the first hand of this video how many people here would be able to lay down AA on the river with that runout if both players were deeper and V reraised Hero’s bet? At 5/10/20 or lower it’s just a cooler but what if it was for $100000-300000?
I'm posting a follow-up hand from last night with the same Villain. He came back to the same game, after having had his sunrun last week. First, how we ended last week's game:
- Villain in for $100K, out for $375k
- Hero in for $300K, out for $310K
- Host in for $600k, out for $230K
20 minutes in, stack sizes are relatively even to start.
Hero SS - $200K, Villain SS $100K, Host SS $200K
$200/$400/$400 BB ante.
Our read on V is still as being very tight, although he's loosened up his attitude a bit, after the big win last week.
Host is LAG.
Hero is in the HJ, V is in middle position, Host is on the button.
Villain raises to $1800 from MP. Folds to Hero in the HJ.
Hero has .
Hero?
Came here to say this as wellFold. He could have 89c and hold em sucks.
Idk, I felt pretty nauseous at the end - only a little sweaty while reading as wellhaving zero emotion
He has no problem getting invited to or hosting the large games, padre.OP - playing this big of stakes and not understanding basics preflop is a bit scary. Your 43s facing a gigantic open is a fold- especially if you think V is nitty.
The A5s hand is a great 3b, and you should try to implement a ton of 3bs from every position and limit calling to just the BU or BB. Then again - being a nit or wannabe pro will probably stop you from getting invited to a 200/400 game lol.
He has no problem getting invited to or hosting the large games, padre.
Yes because he's currently making massive mistakes lol.He has no problem getting invited to or hosting the large games, padre.
