    PS. Learned this here and elsewhere BTW

  2.  

    A couple of days ago I was playing a low-limit SH FL game, and I was in complete control of the table, being able to get everyone to fold.

    One time, after a particularly good bluff, I decided to show my hand just to see what would happen. Well now I couldn't raise anything without getting called for the next 20 minutes or so. No biggie, I just adjusted my play to waiting for the good hands and kept winning.

    The point? Maybe you pissed the 78s guy off, like I did my opponents. People don't like it when people expose the fact they are bad poker players. Like this guy definitely is.

    And now that I think about it, this bears little relevance to the topic. Oh well...

    But he had pot odds and was pot committed and they were sooooooted

    A lot of recreational players have no idea what a long-shot a runner-runner draw is. As long as they can still make their draw they'll call it down thinking that they are getting correct odds.

    And that's okay...as long as they don't suck out on you too many times in a row you'll be fine. And when you play your AQs and hit a bigger flush they are going to pay you off.

    Yeah, that seems way too loose, but he might've been trying to set up a steal after seeing someone do it on TV . If it'd been 3-bet pre-flop I could actually see a case for playing his hand with that flop though. You just have to get used to people making weird calls if you're going to play limit. I had a guy call my river bet with an unimproved 9-7 a few days ago, it happens.

    that's why i worry about going to the Casino on a regualr basis when i start later this year, I'm about $600 away.

    If somone did that and tried to tell me it was a great play i would have to shove all his chips down his throat.

    If you haven't yet, wait till you play LHE around the 2-4 level live. I have played numerous times now at the 2-4 and almost always there is 8 seeing the flop, raises or not. You have to be patient and play a lot more draw type of hands that you wouldn't at a tight table. Tough when the winning hand shows down an 85s with no flush possibilty at all on board and hits another 85 and takes down a huge pot when you are showing a pair of Aces with a good kicker etc.
