pfft.

it's the stop-n-go

it's a monster play

I think there are plenty of people that would agree calling to see the flop before pushing with a pocket pair is a fine play. Yeah, you thought he had AA or KK, but you were wrong. Obviously if you are playing and you THINK the other person has an overpair you should fold. The logic you used to come up with that conclusion doesn't make sense to me when you stated he was playing pretty aggressively.

You would think the RR to 16 would define your hand as QQ, KK, AA, or AK (in which case ballsy RR). I wonder what his post flop AI was about assuming he had you on that range (only an AK whiff would fold)? Anywho, good for ya, always fun when that happens

I've had people make that play against me on an 8 high flop when they have 99. They just always assume you have AK and missed for some reason. Not sure why...

Linoleum that is exactly the same situation that I was in with my QQ (except for the fact that you actually had AA and the guy in the hand with me had AK, which of course I didn't know).

I have been trying really hard to not let my cards dictate whether I win or lose. Huge investments preflop commit people to pots, which sucks when the flop doesn't work out. I have never heard a more true statement than that big pocket pairs either win small pots or lose big ones.

I was playing in a tournament one time... I got dealt 2 hearts, I don't really remember what they were. I got flopped a flush so I bet, another guy raised a decent amount so I went all in. He called. At that point our cards were turned over and he had pocket aces or kings or something like that. I was not too worried at that point. The flop were all hearts with two low cards and a 6. I remember that 6... With all my chips committed to a pot that I was almost assured of winning, the dealer then proceeded to put down 2 more 6s giving the lucky son of a bitch across from me a full house, beating my flush. That guy pulled 3 6s in a row... A 666 if you must. I took this as a sign and no longer play very much online poker.

nah waht i mean by that is i knew that the only thing i would be behind was a set, on a

KJ8 board, and the guy played the hand preflop like had had naked aces in plo.

when he check repot over my pot on the flop, i pushed with KJTQ. I got confident that he just couldn't have KK or JJ due to 2 of each being dead.

He didn't have naked aces at all, but rather KKAx, essentially destroying me for a 7 buy in pot (we both were deep and im a moron)

"Michael Gracz, Chris Bell Busted at Private Poker Tourney Police Charge 71 in North Carolina Two professional poker players, including a World Poker Tour champion, were among 71 people charged with misdemeanor gambling during a poker tournament on Saturday night while they were playing in what police described as a miniaturized Las Vegas casino. Michael Gracz, a 2005 WPT champion, and tournament poker mainstay Chris Bell ($1.4 in tournament winnings) were among those playing in a poker tournament when about 20 officers from North Carolina’s Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) agency walked in and told the players to place their hands flat on the tables.Chris Bell All of the players, including Gracz, were written tickets for misdemeanor gambling charges, but Bell is facing several additional charges including engaging in a game of chance, operating a game of chance, and possession of gaming tables.Michael Gracz “In a way, it’s kind of like how Doyle had it bad in his day, when the cops would come in and take all of their money," Gracz said. "But the players, they’re going to end up playing somewhere.” Police seized $70,196.75, along with dice, cards, chips, TVs, a craps table, a roulette table and wheel, and more than a dozen poker tables. Gracz wouldn’t say how much the tournament’s buy-in was, but he did point out that the cops were cordial and pleasant, and the whole operation was peaceful, unlike the first time Gracz was busted for playing poker in North Carolina. Two year ago, he was playing a cash game with some players in a business complex in Raleigh when the game was busted by about a dozen rifle-wielding agents. All of the money was seized and the players were put into cuffs and charged with gambling. Eventually, the charges were dropped. Gracz described the tournament that was being held Saturday as one made up of local friends and held in a building in a rural area about 50 miles south of Raleigh. Also found in the building was a fully operational kitchen to feed the players. “We’re out in the middle of nowhere for a reason,” Gracz said. “I just feel as though (the police) could find something better to do with 20 hours of their time.” Bell couldn’t be reached for a comment. The ALE report could be found here. The misdemeanor gambling charge is akin to a speeding ticket, which Gracz said we would probably just pay. All of those charged were free to go home and the whole process took about four hours. "
