Logical or Reckless tilt?
IBM presents "You Make the Call!"
I am in a 2/4 ring game NL. I sat down with 20 Big Bets. I am playing pretty solid at a short table and have turned my $80 into $120.
Suddenly, the table fills to 9 players.
I raise to $14 with KQs and get SIX callers. WHAT? Ok, when I miss the flop I should be done. But I make a continuation bet and everyone is calling. Now I am done with the hand. I am upset as I feel the table is now loose and reckless. That and I lost the $40 I had made with a continuation bet (vs. SIX?) after the flop. STOOPID.
The VERY next hand I get QQ. I figure that no matter what I bet I am going to get callers. SO, sinceI have $79 in front of me and I am cheesed off, I go all in. I figure I wont actually get any callers and I have waisted the wild things, but I was angry. Hazzah! Not one, but TWO callers. One has Ax, the other hand I never see as he logs off after a flop of Q99. TJ filled the board, but I cared little at that point. After that, I took my money and left.

How much did you win on the hand ? James G in NC. "Hero" from last weeks episode of Card Club on Lord Admiral Radio.
ReplyDeleteAh, Hello there. Lets see, I had $79, the first caller was all-in with about $30 and the second guy had me covered, so it was about $110.
ReplyDeletewow, I just realized that someone is reading this!!! "May god have mercy on your sole (sic)".
ReplyDeleteI am finding that many players are looking to double up quickly or grab chips by making weak tight players laydown hands. As much as I would hate myself for doing it, I would call the bet and expect to see Q9 (bad) or KQ/QJ (good). If its KQ or QJ, EXPECT to get sucked out on too. But you MUST build chips to play a tournament, so I make this call.
ReplyDeletebtw, 2 weeks ago I would have said "fold".
