Message: [QUOTE="PreciousLor, post: 425205, member: 12019"] CLOSING THOUGHTS We have certainly establised (after seeing the outcome) that the standard of opposition at this table/level leaves alot to be desired :) A question therefore :- Against proper opposition what would be the net result of playing the hand like this on 1000 occasions? The answer is, you will lose money. Your opponent likes the flop and bets out on the turn. Give some hands where a good player might do this:- Ad x Q 9 where x is low, and x,Q or 9 is d (66% for the scoop) A 9 K Q with the diamond combinations (an eight for zilch winner) Any Ace, Any low, Q 9, where diamonds not present (above 50% EV) Q9 xx (even if the xx is something like 23, with no diamonds present it is still 49% EV) NB A good player wont have even gone past the flop without very solid draws (ask yourself on a flop like that, what would a good player be drawing to). The fact that he is betting out the turn means those draws have probably improved. NOW, here is the crucial point, for all of those 1000 times, you reraise him all in. A few he folds, not liking the power of his hand and the draws, a few times he had been caught on tilt without a clear head and calls without much power, but then in the majority of times you get called by one of the above hands, and you are going down down down in the longterm. He likes the flop and is betting out the turn. You look at your cards, there aint much happening in terms of improvement draws. If this is a good high level table and you raise this bet like you have done here, you are mincemeat in the longtime. You are welcome not to trust or rate my opinion, but in the end of the day I've probably only played 20 million hands ;) Enjoy yourself, it certainly seemed the right call for that table :). It has been an interesing discussion. [/QUOTE]
