Texas Hold 'Em - leucetios - 07-08-2004

I got my ass kicked good last night Confused Buy in was $20 for 20k in chips, just a friend game. Apparantly a 10k bluff with a 7 and 4 of Spades is just plaing fucking stupid :angry:

I take it you were the one who bluffed then?? :|

Texas Hold 'Em - ClayRock - 07-08-2004

here is a good pointer...establish yourself as a bluffer or what i call "bulldog"

i play almost every evening on the weekends with 10 to 15 of my closest pals...i'm the bulldog of the group and usually come home with the money.

I bluffed. The play went something like this. I was the small blind. So the first to bet put 10k on the line with one look at his card. Everyone else on the table (8 players) folded. The pusses. I had to stand up to this guy, so I met him. I was hoping for a straight.

Well 10k was like half of my pot. We kept betting each round until I was all in. I knew on the flop I was fucked, but by then I was committed and had to ride it out. And ride it out I did.. all the way out of the game :rant:

if your gonna be bold with him, might as well just go all in from the get go...he matched the pot right?

Texas Hold 'Em - leucetios - 07-08-2004

He matched. The high point was he put in a bet of I think 8k at the end. I counted my chips and had 8001 in chips, so I raised him $100. I felt sure I would get him to fold with the raise Big Grin

Texas Hold 'Em - ClayRock - 07-08-2004

if you were both matching the big blind, and you were the only one left, why not go all in on your next bet...of course i dont know this person, but if your gonna bluff, bluff big.

I wouldn't say it was a bad bluff, you just got fucked because you couldn't pull the flush or straight.

If you want to hone your Texas Hold 'Em skills I suggest downloading True Poker, you can play for free and if you lose the $1000 you start with you can just re-up it back to $1K. http://www.truepoker.com

Also rent 'Rounders'. It might not teach you shit about poker, but it's a pretty damn good movie.

Texas Hold 'Em - SanDog - 07-08-2004

I agree. I really enjoyed rounders.

Texas Hold 'Em - leucetios - 07-08-2004

Rounders added to list.

The only reason I was a dumbass to stay in was that once I saw the flop I knew I was screwed. There were no spades in it, and nothing else I could use, which meant I would have a high card of 7.

Texas Hold 'Em - ClayRock - 07-08-2004

if your trying to be bold, never wait for the flop. Your trying to make him think you have an incredible hand from the get go. Throw all your chips in there and more than likely, if he plays cards like you, he won't call.

Texas Hold 'Em - leucetios - 07-08-2004

apparantly he doesn't play cards like me.. he had pocket kings and the money to see it all the way through. We play again in a month. I will be ready

Texas Hold 'Em - ClayRock - 07-08-2004

i'll teach ya what i know, i've been playin for quite a while
