not sure if this hand is brilliant or lucky or donked up.Button was steaming after losing a few hands in a row to me and other players...$2/$4 hold'em w/ kill, three-handed(no kill this hand)i'm BB with K :club: 3 :D .Button raises, SB folds, i call.(4 SB) Q :D 7 :) 3 :) i bet, i call.(4 BB) 7 :club: i bet, i call.(8 BB) 9 :club: i bet, i call.Button shows A :club: J :club: , MHIG.chat in the immediate seconds following the hand:[Button]: u fago[Button]: u pic ****[Button]: mother f ucker[Button]: a ss hole[Button]: son of b tisch[Button]: go f uck your momDealer: [Button], you have 10 seconds to respond.Dealer: [Button] rejected posting the big blind.Dealer: [Button] is leaving the game.i was actually hoping he would stay. never underestimate implied tilt odds, and i kid not.anyway, in retrospect, i think c/c-c/c-b/c would be the best line, but i bet on each street thinking he would just call with big cards but might check behind with them. in retrospect, that's pretty retarded because he is more likely to bet the big cards if he's on tilt.c/c-c/c-b/c best line?thoughts?aseem

c/c c/c c/c is worse than c/c c/c c/b why? If he's a fish he aint folding on the river if you bet is he?

by c/b do you mean b/c?i think b/c on the river is best because he might check behind with high cards.aseem

yeah I got the action wrong n I never double check. I guess the average village idiot would call the river bet so yeah do it, but I think checking lets them bluff there high cards again which is better

Don't forget "check" and "call" both start with the same letter, sillies.Sometimes I wonder if the abbreviations we use are a little too crazy... but I'm guessing MHIG is "my hand is good."I like leading the flop for sure... and against a tilter, I can see why you led the turn... but even shorthanded, you're still out of position with bottom pair. A lot of cards can come off that can suddenly put you way behind, and you might not know which cards are bad.I don't think I like leading the river. Pot's big enough, and you're only costing yourself another bet if the 9 helped. I say check/call the river. I like leading the flop, but I wouldn't lead the turn absent a read. But, you seemed to have one, so good times.I love putting people on tilt, by the way.
Always bet like you've got a pair.

Really there is not a better feeling in the world then putting someone on tilt at your table and watching as they gun for you every chance they can. Making your own ATM's is fun.

Is folding the flop to a raise just plain wrong? I'd think he'd have something like TQ, AQ, KQ, JQ or a higher PP. Am I out to lunch? sillyps. I don't play lots of 3 handed games... 10 handed I fold.

i don't know if you guys misread...i'm not the one who put him on tilt.he was *already* steaming before this hand came up. that's why i played the hand the way i did.that's why i didn't think there was a fold anywhere in the hand.aseem
