Anyways, I'd like to point out that I'm not playing stupidly aggressive, just picking my spots and shooting it up. I'm going for the WIN. I knew I had accomplished my goal when another guy at the table made this comment:
"Damn it Travis, you're raising AGAIN??!! Jeez. You're making this very tough." That made me feel really good. For the first time in a while I had TOTAL control of the table. I was playing ultra-aggressive AND getting respect.
Here's my bust out hand, what would you have done? My opponent was the one guy at the table who I really wanted to bust. He had about the same amount of chips as me (a little more), but he was TERIIBLE. He called down another bad player with Q high and won a huge pot. LOL. I knew I just needed to make a hand against him - any kind of decent hand - and I could get those chips.
He's 2 to my right. I'm in LP and have about $T6000, blinds are 150/300. He limps in MP, I raise to $T800 with K9s, he's the only caller. $2050 in the pot now. Flop comes the best I could hope for, 67K. He checks, I bet out $1000, he reraises me allin. Now here's where my read on the guy comes into play. I'd seen him on more than a few occasions raising with terrible hands and calling raises with trash, then calling bets on the flop/turn/river with NOTHING, and check-raise bluffing with nothing. I call. He has 67 for two-pair. Obviously this would have been an easy lay down to a strong player, but I felt my hand was better. Was I crazy?
Also, what do you guys think of my new strategy? I feel that my post-flop play has gotten much better recently, but it is much more difficult. It's also much more fun
Oh yeah. This is good for a laugh. I was sitting at about $T2400 after a bad beat and caught AQs, went allin, and a guy called me with T2o. LOL. My hand held up thankfully. Can you imagine that? Calling an allin with T2o, wow.Statistics: Posted by t-bone — Thu Dec 09, 2004 11:19 pm
