Nice read sir, gj.

Nice play, don't think this could ever be a fold though given the image you just told us hehe. Makes you sometimes wonder just how often we throw away the best hand against these maniacs. Only yesterday I made trip Aces on the flop, got my bet called and the turn was a heart putting up a 3 flush, I bet, the guy raises me all in (it was like another $80ish for me to call). We were shorthanded like 3 or 4 people I think. Anyway, I made the call, and he showed me Kclubs2clubs.???. I really considered throwing it away, that we were shorthanded was the main thing that led me to call. Why do they do this? Call with no pair no draw, just unnecessary risk no?

Same for this hand Uber, he turns his hand into a bluff on the turn, what the frick is the point? Especially after you have committed yourself? So stupid.

only defense i could give for the villian is he was on a gutshot and trip draw? also for a few hands ive raised him and he folded everytime, on the table i was the only one who wasnt afraid of him knowing his game.

i recently reread the MCU section in Super/System2, in it says its best to call down bluffers instead of betting into them, but in this case i thought i would maximize profits overbetting as it would perceive me as bluffing and he'd call me down. also it was my last rotation before i had to go so i wanted to rest of the table to know whats really up with this guy since he never shows down.

i leave and come back maybe 5minutes later to see him rebuy and is still bluffing at the table again. (he already lost 3 buy ins).

thanks for feedback.

I raise that to 2.5 preflop.

I raise that to 2.5 preflop.

Dollars or BB's? Neither makes sense to me.

I think this was played perfectly.

Sorry 2.5 BB. It's a pot sweetener bet.

Since you can't bet 62.5 cents, I'd just bet 75 at this limit, probably.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with limping with this hand, but every once in a while you can throw in a raise like this to keep things interesting.

Just trying to get you all to think

Definitely raise or fold preflop. Passive table = raise and win the pot right now. The sort of hand I want to play a big pot with. Flop is a dream, hand plays itself from then on.

But most certainly not nh, not IMO.
