Here is what I know:

Hux is one of the biggest 2.5/5 fish on Betfair. He will pay if he has draws and will pay if he has bottom pair, very passive loose. The table had been playing extremely big and loose. The only step I took wrong was betting the river. Before I bet it I thought:

Can I call a raise? From Hux - yes.
Can he have AQ? Hux could have anything. His most likely hand there was a j10 (if he reraises river) or a missed flush (if he folds).
Can Hux call without the nuts? Yes - he can't drop a hand.

nah nothing you could do bad beat forum is down the street.

plz don't post results




what exactly is it you're looking for help on here?


you should be betting this river 100% of the time... just cause you ran into one idiot w/ A Q the ONE time doesn't mean you should ever be checking behind on that river... yeah, you have the 2nd nuts right now, but you're technically supposed to have the nuts as anyone w/ a brain would have dumped AQ a long time ago, this guy limped it in LP w/ no raise in front of him, then flatted your PFR, then c/c c/c on two streets where he was OOP & had 4 outs he could count on... then he checks once he gets there on the river, giving you perfect opportunity to check behind w/ something like A J or 9T or something... he's an idiot plain & simple... & he played so god awful I almost threw up...


you should be happy this person is @ your table, & i'd actually search his name to find games he's in, then sit to his left =]





if you didn't take this money & more back from him in 8-10 orbits after this happened, i'm dissapointed...


that is all

He disconnected about 3 hands after that. I have been following him all day but nothing has happened so I've left him. Didn't know I couldn't post results.

Essentially I'm looking for where I should/could have pushed harder or checked. I can't fold to his reraise.

its just results are likely going to affect peoples analysis...


nothing can be done differently about this... i always say: you can't stop degenerates from gambling...


you dont want to be betting $200 into a pot w/ $90 in it because you're in fear of being out drawn... you actually want people to come along w/ their draws - since they're behind - & you want to make the price such that calling is actually improper play on their part...


that's what you did in this hand, but the guy's a fuccing donkey who "has ace queen!"


forget this hand ever even happened & move on continue playing well


i'm in such a stupid downswing lately it's gay... i've been 2 / 3 / 4 outered like 13x in the last 3 weeks... usually for my stack / majority of my stack...

that's poker... shyt happens... next hand...



you played this hand fine bro... results don't matter
