wow, why do people like this even play poker? If he's not raising this flop then it should be safe to assume he's a mental retard.

I've been playing him all day. I noticed he was very passive, and perhaps afraid. It looks like he was trying to slow play, and going for a check raise on the river, but the diamond fell. Too bad for you because if that board doesn't pair or no diamond, you would have stacked that walrus.

edit: I didn't notice the flop was suited...AY..I don't feel like reevaluating.

yea but since flop is same suit that should be all the more reason to raise. I could easily be leading out there with nut flush draw or something. and yes I doubt this guy last very long at 400NL because he's a puss. woudln't be surprised if he just moved up from 200NL.

There's some more of that true class I've come to expect from here...

Your comments were inapproriate for the question at hand.

Inappropriate? No
Unwated? Proabaly

He has a valid point. You should be able to see things from a different point of view. If not, you are just blocking yourself from learning anything.

How is he overbetting with $20? I think betting with two others in the hand is very bad, since any big diamond will call you and you won't really know where you are at. You have 6 outs and you might be drawing dead. Calling or 3betting with 67s is ok but probably not oop.

is the reason u post this is because u want to feel good about your play here and want people to agree with you?? you played this hand poorly. worse than the villian, (or is it hero??). calling a 3x bet in an already opened pot w/ mid sooted connectors , i learned not to do that at the play money tables back on party.....lol

if u dont call a 3xBB raise with suited connectors sometimes ur playing way to tight. i can see an argument about calling OOP, but i dont really believe ur a winning player if u dont make these calls from time to time.

i dont really know about leading out on the flop with just the straight draw considering the all suited flop, but once the turn hits giving gambler the straight he played it correctly.

the only thing really wrong with this played hand is leading out on the flop with the straight draw, but that might not even be that bad of a play considering if they didnt have a high diamond or the set he'll be given the pot uncontested.

gambler is more of a laggy player and these are the type of plays where SOME people view him as an idiot. THIS IS WHAT GETS HIM PAID OF WHEN HE DOES MAKE HIS HAND.

gl to u gambler.

exactly right! he was waiting for the kill shot that never came. he also knew what kind of player he was up against...extremely lose and bad.

This is Gambler's usual exit point. The part where facts start getting in his way.

From the profile of genius:
"On December 13th, I officially became a member of <span>www.cardrunners.com</span>. I watched a ton of vids at the beginning. I decided to test out UB and put $200 dollars on there. Within about 1.5 weeks, I had this $200 bucks turned into $3000."

Hear that kids? If you want to learn how to ship it with air...er...call a shove with air...that's cardrunners dot com.
