Two Queens?????????? C'mon, he could have conceded on the river and saved himself $36. I was pretty close to dumping it on the turn, probably would have if the diamond didn't hit . You know, I'm kinda still pissed I didn't hit my straight.

I don't know how you even call those garbage hands out of the blinds fella. Well, I hope you made the most of his tilt afterwards, I'd have been bleeding chips at you left right and centre after that. He should check the river to a player like you though. Curiois, why did villain have it coming to him this particular evening?

[bigdil511]

Id play that hand there. But I am usually between 30-35% VPIP.

Are you serious? I take a 74s over a hand like AK any day of the week. I can't just sit back and fold everything waiting for for premium hands (considering stupid fucking pocket aces cost me $100 yesterday ). I play a sick brand of poker and thus far, it has worked for me. I have a couple of hands like this:

What a read, granted he stacked me on the second hand or so, when I sat down with 76o vs my AA, so I figured I'd return the favor. He knew if he checked I was gonna nail him, so I guess he figured he'd keep firing. Four barrels can't phase me beyotch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do this to fuck my opponents up and completely throw them off their game. I will never be predictable for that reason and hopefully I can maintain and be successful with that kind of reputation. To be honest, watching HSP, I apply a similar game like Dan. N and Sam Farha (my two poker idols).

[bigdil511]

I like it ill play just about any suited small cards, except like 27 or 29 hands with no chance of straight outs. But 74 64 65 75 86 97 shit like that suited are like my most profitable hands.

Well I know you do. No preflop criticism meant Merv, nh.

[mervhage]

Neverthink, no problem bro, I can appreciate the fact that we all employ different styles and that's what makes us.

BigD, post some of your off-type hands if you can, I'd love to see some.

ROFL!!!!!!! Not only did he call the river - he reraised it!!! Tell him to move to $50 NL please

lol, I was thinking about this hand last night, as I lay in bed and tried to get my mind off the impeding danger of online gambling going to hell. Anyways, the only thing I can think of was either A) he put me on a hand like KJ and I was bluffing the river scare card, or B) he put me on a weak ace and figured if he pushed he could represent a flush himself.

That, or he's just a complete fucking moron.

[nlman]

That, or he's just a complete fucking moron.

Whatever was his reasoning (if any! ), he's still a moron!

1) Reraising a bluff? What exactly is the point of that? If someone is bluffing you, they won't call an all in!

2) Bluffing with 0 FE? I don't think that's a good move either
