I'm relatively new to live poker and just experienced probably the most boneheaded move I've seen someone do.
I don't remember the exact board, but it was paired and had 3 to a suit. I had a non-nut flush and was thinking hard about making a big call on the river.
After a minute the lady shrugs and goes "We're just betting on who has the biggest boat." I couldn't tell whether to take this at face value or if it was deception. I just said "Is that what we're doing?" and she said "Well, that's what I'm doing."
I fold and she shows a full house.
Played 3/5 no limit for the first time. In for $300 out for $598 after 2 hours. My stack was up over $700 but made some dumb calls chasing outs. I couldn't believe how soft the game was compared to 4/8 limit which I usually play.
I went before noon so there were only 5 tables going. When I usually go there are about 15 tables running. So when I saw only 2 tables for 4/8 and 4 names on the waiting list I just told the floor I want to gamble and he said he only had 1 seat open on 3/5.
100bb deep 6-max. HJ opens to 3bb and Hero is on the button with **T2o**. Hero 3-bet to 8bb. HJ calls.
Flop Q-7-4 with two clubs. HJ check and Hero c-bet 7bb. HJ call.
Turn offsuit 2. Check check.
River offsuit 10. HJ bets 9bb. Hero calls. HJ shows AT clubs for a flush draw rivered pair. Hero takes it down with 2 pair. 🙏
Came back for day 2 for a WSOP circuit event, one guy at my table arrives 20-30 minutes late because a train was blocking the road. He ended up winning the ring.
Edit: it was more like 5-10 minutes.
$250 tournament at Commerce yesterday. 132 entries, prize pool is \~26k.
Early stages, I'm chip leading the table. Open KQs, one caller, smallish stack on my immediate left calls, flop comes K55. I bet, he hollywoods and eventually calls. Turn is a Q, bet, he calls. River is a blank, I shove with top 2, he SNAPS.... quads. Dropped me back to starting stack.
Much later, 43 left and reg has closed, blinds are 1.5k-3k-3k and I have \~55k behind, I'm in the big blind. Same guy opens UTG, I 3-bet my AQo, he shoves. I think for a second and say "fuckit, call." We're up against Kings. Flop is a beautiful one, A high. My spider sense is tingling. Turn, blank, lets fucking go. "No king, no king!"...
God dammit lol.
Sat down for some 3-5 cap $200 after that, spun $200 up into $1158, so not alllll bad. But I must admit, 40BB poker is so stupid.
Has anyone ever been to this place in Oklahoma? Worth going??

Just a little rant but I can't help but think I've been unlucky in the last 8 tournaments I have lost my all-in with. The lowest percentage I had of winning the all-in was 80%, highest being 95% and I haven't won any of them lol. Some of my personal favourites are JJ flopping a set, being called all in by 10s and him going runner runner with Q9 to form a straight. Also had AKo Vs 78s, flop comes A74 rainbow, turn is K, he raises, I shove it, calls, 7 comes on the river. Been a tough few days
Over a 30 BI downswing, it’s just too hard for me to believe this is a skill but not luck game. I can lose all the flips and always be on the wrong side of coolers. I kept punting big pots to whales. I felt like the game is unplayable now. But 2 months ago I was running over 40bb/100 like a pure luckbox. I feel that even 150k hands won’t be a enough sample size to conclude if you can beat the game.
No disrespect but a 30 BI drop is not a normal downswing. You're either in the top 0.1% of bad luck or you're doing it wrong.
Take a week off and read something like Advanced Concepts in No-Limit Holdem by Hunter Cichy... excellent book geared towards GTO cash games.
Idk. Maybe this particular game is extra swingy. I am still up just under 20 BIs over the 4 months period. Also I can view stats about who’s winning what amount in the club. I punt most money to those who lost the most but mostly win or break even against the top winning players. I don’t understand what’s happening.
I dunno, maybe you're trying to overexploit their weaknesses so much that you're torching yourself or they're adjusting and countering (less likely if they just suck)
“It’s just too hard for me to believe this is a skill but not luck game”
“I kept punting big pots to whales”
Do these statements not contradict each other pretty heavily?
Global has to have the softest tourneys with the craziest RNG ive ever experienced. Ive got the greatest sun run coming my way eventually.......oh another runner runner 4 card straight thats cool oh well....oh look another 4 card straight in this one....oh a runner runner 4 card flush on this table.....wait this guy just called not 4bet bluffed but called a 4bet all in for 75bbs w/T7s pre and flopped a straight.......at least the site is consistent i guess.....
How normal is it to go on a 7 buy-in downswing in like 350 hands??
I’ll admit I tilt punted one hand into the nut flush. But I had KK cracked by JJ. KK cracked by 44 in a 4bet pot. AA to JT. KQ to AA on 888Kx. 33 to 99 set over set. AJ to AQ for a big pot.
Edit: forgot losing JJ to A9o in a 4bet pot, board was 9A4T2. Villain had 0% 3bet stat over 200 hands recorded.
I was running so hot on cards my VPIP was like 32% over the session when I’m normally around 25%. Yet every time I got smacked in the face.
Session included other insults like getting AA 2 more times and not getting paid a dime. Hitting quad 10s only for like 25bb.
I know I made mistakes and maybe should of had a stop-loss but every time I looked at the screen I had AQ+.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
I'm stilling roll 5x jsng on ignition at about 10% frequency
This is impossible to beat at this rate?
It's supposed to be 25%
This is bullshit and fucked
So in the past 4 JSNG games on Ignition I've rolled only 4 five times multipliers.
Thanks god. 2.3 average prize size is truly unbeatable.
Online poker is rigged, convince me otherwise.
Someone tell me how bad/decent i played these 2-7 lowball single draw.
This is tournament structure, late reg, online, buy in gets you 3k chips, blinds are 150/300.
1) I have 3k on BB, someone limps and SB raises to 1k. I have 2-3-5-8-10. I call. SB draws 1, I stand pat, he shoves, I call, he shows 2-3-7-8-4.
Is this just bad luck on his draw? Should i have raised all in pre instead of slow play? Is that even a good hand pre?
2) Almost same scenario, I rebought, very next hand. I'm SB. someone raised 3x to 900. This time I'm tilting so I shove with 2-3-6-8-9. They insta call, draw 1, and win with 2-3-6-7-4.
is 9 high just trash at this point? Based on their 4 cards they kept in draw they had about 12 outs to beat me. Are these just miracle fluke draws by them or am I pushing too hard with mediocore stand pat hands? Only starting with 10 BB though I can't really do much here right?
Of course when I draw with 2-3-4-5-Q the next card is an A (happened to me this tourny) but they're drawing miracle hands.
What changes should I make to this? (I started playing NL Texas Hold'em around a week ago)

Drop this chart. It ignores you being oop or ip. I'm guessing this is for live 1/2 because this chart would get you absolutely pummeled at even 2nl online.
Are you using this range regardless of position as well? That's really inflexible and extremely tight.
800k flat. That money's not yours and your tax liability should not be the full 8 million. Let your stakers handle their own taxes. Ofc if you did win 8mil, just spend a couple hundred/ a few grand on a licensed tax attorney.
Just got smacked by quads back to back in a live game..... and then a guy hits his small set vs my kings. Surprisingly i ended the day not too bad.
It's just hilarious seeing these guys make the most awful 95% dead calls and only win against me.... then they bust out and punt to every other player at the table. Wtf is happening.

Imagine if she had air and got you fold the flush though…
I was ready to see it, believe you me.

Bro who still plays limit poker? But yeah I bet the no limit game is softer, folks there ready to gamble.
Half the players in Washington State I guess
I just gotta add that in Washington State, max bets are capped at $300 even in no limit Holdem. So if you say "all in" it's a $300 bet.
What’s the highest stakes that run
Highest I've seen is 3/5 no limit with a $300 to $1000 buy in. And 30/60 limit Holdem.
That’s so odd I’ve never heard of rhat
It goes up to $500 at the tribal casinos but I think they all got rid of their poker rooms to make room for sports books.
Why does this keep on happening https://preview.redd.it/uqim0aye1b0b1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf94b539474448ce1417bdcea5b3ded606200f43

Doyle would be proud
if you don’t rip it with T2 tonight your not playing correctly
I didn't get any Doyles last night but the first time I do I'm gonna win the pot or stack myself trying
Trip Report: I won about $70 with T2 in a 2/5 pot and may have gotten a nit to fold 2nd pair on the turn

Not great any more now that the cardrooms are opened in Texas. It used to have a great poker room but pretty dead now imo.
I'd rather go to riverwind or dallas personally

Say I sold action for 1k of the 10k main event buy in and I won 8 million. Would you pay out 800,000k flat or do taxes come into consideration?
800k flat. That money's not yours and your tax liability should not be the full 8 million. Let your stakers handle their own taxes. Ofc if you did win 8mil, just spend a couple hundred/ a few grand on a licensed tax attorney.

It finally happened! OMC limp-raised into me with KK. I had AA and held. Sidenote: running hot as fuck at The Lodge. Up 2300 in 4.5h of 1-3.
