Here is some bullshit

[Rust1d?]

I am at the casino last night in a 1-2 no limit game. I have 9-7 off and the flop comes 9-8-9. I bet and the guy raises. Turn comes 10. I bet the guy calls. River comes j or some shit. I bet 10 guy raises 20. Fucker has two 8's in the hole. Talk about lucky bullshit.

[Amirite]

[Szeth]

[YendorLootmonkey]

ROFL oh... didn't even see that. :)

[Amirite]

whoops, see it now~

[Rust1d?]

I walked away up 105 on the night so I guess I cannot complain. Still that fucker got lucky! I won a $100 hand with 2-3 off suit and the flop came 4-5-6 earlier lol!

[Rust1d?]

Going back to the casino on Friday. Then back to eq.

You bitch about him slow playing a flopped boat?? And then laugh that you won after a 2-3 offsuited, when you SHOULD have folded pre-flop less no one raised the BB.

Me thinks you are a fucking retard. I hope to sit down next to you one day.

better question is why you were in the hand with 97 to begin with tbh

i'm with HB, it's the truth. not hating on you for rolling with a 97, but don't complain when you lose broskie

[heartbrand]

like, what are you putting him on when he re-raises you on flop? a higher pp? a straight draw? like what straight draw could he have there that he's playing pf and now re-raising you on flop with? dunno, got assume a set there tbh imo

[karsten]

i won't hate on anyone playing ANY hand preflop -- there's the metagame and there's trolling in poker too, zero probs with that. just don't be a bitch when your troll doesn't work out

[diplo]

you lost ~$30 that hand...that's about 1/5 of my bet in blackjack...get your paper up pal.

[canderiv1]

100% agree. teh fuck. i could see dropping ante on pocket 8s for the flop, but unless you were a blind, you should have peaced out. damn chasers like you fill my pockets up at the Woods. <3

[Tumdumm]

gettin wood at the woods

[diplo]

speaking of a bad beat...


i was at the black jack table at the gata saturday night, playing the anchor:

bet 300. I get a 7/3, dealer shows a 6.

doubled down like a boss to $600, got a 10, sitting pretty with a 20 against a 6.

lo and behold, dealer has a 5, and gets a 10 for 21...nothing i could've done there..left a sour sour taste in my mouth.

[canderiv1]

ya man that is a bad beat, specially on a DD. i would have been fuming

He could be protecting his BB against a cutoff/button raise. It all depends on the players, and the stacks behind them I suppose.
Also, there was no flop re-raise, OP bet out of position trying to represent an 8 (possibly?), got raised, and called not wanting to seem weak and hoping to steal it on the turn by firing a second bullet.
There's a few ranges of hands you can represent on a 8-9-9 flop especially if 8 and 9 are suited. Q-J same suit with the 8/9 on the flop, Q-10 same suit with the 8/9 on the flop, or any combo of flush/gutshot straight draw, and with the 10 on the turn his hand arguably got better. The problem he is that it's tough to play these hands out of position, and especially on a floped pair board.

That 2-3o story though, is another matter altogether heh.

[canderiv1]

i want to play with you lorraine!

[heartbrand]

I'll agree you aren't laying it down on flop, and maybe even going broke over it, it really depends on a lot of factors that are imposs to know from OP but in online cash where every1 tite as fuck hard to put on a range that you're beating

[Daefuin]

There's a time and place for playing most hands. But can't criticize for playing 9-7 without knowing position, villains, and preflop action.

Lost 7 buyins @ 5-10 and 2-5 in one afternoon/evening once. Lost a buyin an hour. Until you've had swings like that you don't know bad beats. :P If any of you guys will be at WSOP in Vegas this summer let me know.

I don't play much anymore (traditional job = less variance, less stress). Play as a profitable hobby now so I don't rage at piddly bad beats. :p

[heartbrand]

worst day ever was losing 10k @ the ST $225's and $110's or w/e they were

[Daefuin]

I never really had a long bad run online. I also completely transitioned to live games about a month before Black Friday. I would have been fucked because my roll was entirely on FT.

Does that mean I was running hot irl? Heh.

[SamwiseRed]

i would have definitely burned a titty twister before the soup kitchen.

[mendan]

holy fuck this was my exact thoughts...

he flopped a boat, and it was luck? maybe im missing something.

[Daefuin]

Again, nothing wrong with 9-7 given certain table dynamics, villains play, and stack sizes. Implied odds can definitely be there. Same way why sometimes you set mine and other times you fold small pp's

ya no argument with that, not enough info obv about pf, my only observation here is in cash @ least online every1 set mines and someone willing to re-raise you on flop with board like that it's hard to put them on a lot of hands you're beating imho but yes greatly depends upon the reads + it's 1/2 live

[canderiv1]

what online sites yall play? i havnt foxed with online since they shut absolute poker down

[Cwall 52.0]

gambling is a sin

[HippoNipple]

You guys still debating this $30 hand played in 2011?

[Etorryn]

Was this at either mohegan sun or foxwoods by chance? Even at a 1 and 2 dollar table, bets snow ball very quickly. You're not going to get into many hands with a $2 blind. I live about 15 minutes from mohegan, and about 25 minutes from foxwoods.

god I miss living in Connecticut

[Rust1d?]

This was at mount airy casino in pa. I usually play there or AC. I stayed in with 23 because I was BB and nobody bet, so I saw the flop. Same with the 97 hand, the table played tight so nobody was pushing the action.

[Chronoburn]

Poker for pixels. Someone set it up

[canderiv1]

i'm all over it. we should meet up in an online game somewhere and buy in money in the poker game would = plat in game. will need someone to spot me 2k ;) will most likely pay you back after the game lol

That's the only thing WoW ever had over EQ -- You could play Hold'em in-game while waiting for the rest of the lemmings to get to the raid/spot/buff etc etc.
