The other day some fools were calling my 2-3xBB preflop raises with AA and KK when I had hit top pair on board, giving me the illusion that they had nothing until they raised my ass on the river...I figured that was a good strategy to use since it completely fools everyone (especially if you hit top pair on flop) so I tried to do the same today. I got AA in early/mid and was reraised 5xBB, so I called and continued to call/check until river when I bet huge and was reraised all in...guy hits trip 9s on the river.....:):)..just gotta love this game, you try to be unpredictable and it ends up biting you in the ass....

2 points, A. I personally love this with AA/KK for the above reasons, it sucks you got unlucky, but in the end thats what you want. However, I personally like to jam the turn in these situations. If they are on total air, you still win a decent pot if they've raised pre and bet the flop/turn. If they have made top pair you most likely get em in with the worst of it. Of course its risky, but thats why its called gambling

Too risky for my blood. I bet big early when I think I'm ahead. But either way, it's a trade-off:

Win smaller pots with less risk, or bigger pots with more risk. Pick your poison.

NEVER give a free card on the internet.....amd NEVER EVER EVER slow play trips and prepare to lose your whole stack most of the time u get them. It is absolutely the worst hand in internet poker.
Just went out on the 1st hand..Entered late so blinds were like 80/40....I guy min raises a few call. i have A3s on the button so i call. Flop comes 3K3 and the guy makes it like 250, the pot. There was both blinds behind me, i dont want nobody to fold so i just call....they both fold. next card is a 4. He bets pot again and i make it 1200 more ...he shoves....I call....he's got 44 and im gone in 1 hand. I thought he had 88 so catching the 4 was no big shock. ive learned to live with the rigging...

:think2:

Maybe I'm naive, but I've never felt any rigging. Even after the wrong side of many bad beats. At least not in tournaments. In cash games I'm A LOT more suspicious, since the site gets a cut of every pot. Whether the site is rigging or not, one thing is for sure in cash games - players conspire against you. I personally know people who do it.

In tournaments the site is paid up-front and doesn't care who wins. It's also a lot more difficult for players to conspire in elimination play. I play low stakes Bodog sit-n-go's and I've done consistently well despite being an average player.

Believe me, if I'm winning money you know it ain't rigged. :coke:

this thread will never die.

i know this is bad, but i'm on semi-tilt and i just went from 1/2NL to 5/10FL lol.

i just called 66 in MP, BB raises me, i call him. flop 579 rainbow. he bets, i call. 8c comes. he bets, i call again (should have raised). 6d comes on river and now i think i'm fucked, tie at best and he might have a 10 to screw me. he gets disc'ed, i bet, and after 20-25s he folds and i win. honestly, how unlucky do i have to be to hit my trip on a RIVER with it potentially f'in me over???

Im so far past tilt its a shame. I already know sometimes several hands in advance that im about to get screwed. I see it coming, i see the setup, ive got an unfoldable hand that is ahead and my stack size says only a fool would fold. I call and i lose...everytime.
I use tourny shark which gives me everybodies stats at my table. i know who loose or tight and whos a winner or loser before the 1st card is dealt. I can safely say the winners win the big hands regardless of their cards. Maybe they got the best hand to fold i havent analyzed everyone but in the end the chips go to the players who have won before.
If im at a table of avg players, that would be all about break even players. If 1 of them builds a big stack then when someone gets knocked out a winning player will take the seat and within 3 to 5 hands will have the chips.

I find it even more strange that i can go for over 75 days without having a hand hold up in a big pot that would lead to a big payday despite consistently getting it in good...Im not saying its not possible but its damn sure strange. And whats stranger to me is ...u remember my post a few weeks ago about the millionaire player who called me on the bubble of a $300 mtt with AJos when we both had top 20 stacks....It was a horrible call poker wise that can only be justified by him being able to afford to gamble...Naturally he won the hand and i havent come close to anything but the bubble since..
But a player like that he just gets lucky sometimes and over the long run he will lose......MY ASS HE WILL!!! IM the 1 on the losing streak and lets see how he's done in just this past week..

On-line poker deals more incredible hands and suck-outs than you will see live. You also see more roller-coaster hands where the apparant winner changes with every card. This creates more action and excitement for players and moves the tournament along quicker so players can play more tournaments. That's where the site's pay-off is if you bust out and play another tournament especially if you believe you should have won and got f*cked over.

Didn't matter what cards I had, fucker was gonna call all the way to river with his tens hoping to get lucky...I mean shit, who the hell reraises on two raises with 10s even though they are LP? Joke of a fucking game. I had A4s earlier and flopped nuts but of course there was no fucking action yet I'm always getting fukked out of my premium hands? COME ON FUCKERS.
