and then the quads didn't hit, that there would be comments along the lines of "WTF were you doing calling ANY kind of raise from EP with that hand?" closely followed by "Dumbass."
As for the 3bb raise, since when is this not standard fare?
I'd like to know if my lines of thought have major flaws that need fixing. Please don't be insulting with your comments, I AM trying to learn. My thoughts as the hand went along were as follows:
PF - AKs, cool, good starting hand for once. Raise about 3bb. I want action but not a bunch of garbage hand limpers. (I was under the impression that the folks at Stars were not Paradise NL25 donks who call raises with any 2 cards they get, in fact I had recently been told by a BTP'er or two that Stars players are better and tighter than some of the looser sites.)
Flop - WOW, don't see trips flop all that often. I seriously doubt anyone with 9x would have called a PFR from early position. I'll make a CB to show I am still proud of my hand and I'll be happy to take it down right here. Not pleased with the call, good chance he has a PP. PP would be good enough to call a normal raise PF trying to hit the set.
Turn - King! Bang. (as twelver would say) Hit the boat, only AA is beating me now, bet semi strongly but not full pot like the flop. I want to look like maybe I'm holding a medium PP but am too chicken to push in case he has a K. Basically hoping to induce him to raise me all in if he does have QQ or JJ. Damn, he only called. Why didn't he raise me? I still don't believe he has the case 9. He must have AA, but if he does, why didn't he reraise me PF? No, he doesn't have AA. Same thing goes for KK. Maybe even QQ but I can see him playing QQ just like this. It must be QQ or JJ, that or a small PP that gave him a boat he just can't let go of.
River - Ten. He pushes. I figured this would probably be the way he played the river regardless of what hand he has at this point. I still think 9's full of K's is the best hand, even if it does end up being a split, which I doubt, I'm calling.
If a MOD, thinks maybe this thread would now be better suited to the NL forum, feel free to move it. I hadn't originally intended it to be one for disection, but it seems to have become that.Statistics: Posted by SebQtaneus — Wed Jul 05, 2006 10:22 pm
