Poker Strategies/Hand Analysis Discussion. (No low quality generic posts)

[Dump3er]

This is a great discussion topic memehunter. I will try to save hands in the future and share them here. There were some as you can imagine which were quite exciting and tricky. Yesterday I made a big mistake against MVPoker. I believed he bluffs many times, but he didn't and he had a straight when the flop was revealed.  I was dead with my outs for straight and for flush because he and I had spades. It wasn't a good decision and I think I tried to get some luck.

Classic mv tactic. lol
All I can say is he is a tough nut to crack, especially if he has a large stack (some room to maneuver). His short stack game is not that good, though    (I can see you smiling, mv lol). I have some reads on him as I have played a lot against him, but you have to be lucky in order to beat him, most of the time.
My advice would be to force him to take flips.

(some room to maneuver... yes that is the time he is aggressive, but you need a good hand to attack him. I often stay away from him when I don't have to play him, but attack against him is not easy. He has a good read what the other player has in his hands. This time I thought if he has a jack or worse, he will not call if I go all in, but the result was not what I wished for. 

Now poker again. I hope it's not scam when my accountant helps me to play. It is good to invlove him because I can blame him.

Careful, careful, my lovely girls!

Alright, this screams for a side bet, no? Let's run an experiment with me having 10k chips and you having 30k chips. I don't know if you can choose these parameters on Pokernow, but we could just play it like that, I raise 10k and you go all in, I fold first hand. I bet that in 20 rounds, I win at least 8, you starting with 30k, I start with 10k chips, 3x my chip stack.

Suggest an amount we play for


Edit: yes to be fair you have a good read on me by now, but be honest and share that we have been openly discussing all my thought processes. I was always intending to improve your game, thereby kind of improving my own game because I have to mix it up as a consequence. Always enjoy the heads up rounds as we both try to give each other a hard time!

What do you do with your hands like this?



Was I wrong to go all in? I don't think so. But the turn killed me.
I don't think so. But the turn killed me. 🥲

Maybe someone can offer some advice?

It's hard to understand a hand without seeing the action. But just from the picture, if you went allin it was a big mistake since you are only getting called from hands that beat you, meaning boats or flushes, or maybe even a better kicker.
If he went allin it's of course not so easy to fold but yet it's a fold, for the same reasons. You lose against sooooo many hands, even if your opponent has a loose image you shouldn't get all the money in the pot, maybe on the flop, yes, but after the turn you must be super careful!

I agree. Maybe OP can briefly explain the actions pre-flop and post-flop to have a better perspective.

Well, I'm not sure, people are playing like crazy with garbage hands, so folding trips is kind of -ve IMO. I think the OP went all in, and the other person called it.  You are doomed anyway with that flop, IMO.

As I remember, I did all in the flop. Maybe if I wasn't in such a hurry I probably wouldn't have gone all in after seeing the turn and I will definitely think about flush.
It is true what you said should be during the flop I should consider boats but I am quite stupid. 🥲

I cant give any advice if you dont say to us how much money/chipps do you have.

I mean i know a lot of people is gonna said, you ahve to play equal alway no matter how much do you have in your bank, but for me that doesnt aply unless you are a super high level player.

Coming back to the hand..... for me that one is one of the worst hands i can receive in the pre flop, because is the tipycal hand you trust and ended up being a hook to you and lsoe against a lot of other hands.

So it can be a fold. Only good if the were of the same pair.

What do you think of this hand, that happened between two professional high-stakes poker players a couple of years ago? I mean, common, a jack-high call! This is suspicious as hell. Below is the hand in question and some crucial information (in the Youtube video)

Youtube Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDk5n7_BHh0

Have you ever made a similar call in a poker game?  

The fact that she gave back her winnings, kind of indicates her fear of getting caught if this goes viral, which happened anyway  .

That's a very public case which has been discussed in countless videos a million times. Sure it's fishy as hell, yet there was never any proof found. They started a big investigation into this and came up with nothing. I think the girl even passed a lie detector test about it, in some form.
Yeah the call was totally out of place and nobody EVER would make that call. Also, the river was still to come, which made it even stranger. Anyway, I don't like Garrett Adelstein so I just found it super funny.
By the way, she offered him his money back (and he took it) because she felt threatened at that moment, at least that was her explanation.  
It wasn't out of fear of it going viral, this happened in a huge game at the live stream from the Hustler Casino, thousands of people are watching this anyway.

I guess this kind of game would be fine if it didn’t involve that much money, but maybe that amount doesn’t mean much to Robbi... It’s obvious Robbi was aware of what her opponent was waiting for(straight),but there were too many outs for flush too, that’s what makes the whole game kind of weird. anyway I think she clearly has a good gut feeling

Its been a while I posted any hand for the discussion. I recently played against @Klarki in one Final table. Below is the hand in question and what do you think? is this a call or fold? If you think it is a raise, I would like to play heads-up against you all day 



I raised pre, I bet the flop, he called, I bet the turn, he called. On the river I checked and he bet 52k lol, now keep in mind that this is the FT and prize jumps are quite steep.

Well, it's an easy fold on the river in my eyes. Everything you beat is a bluff here since he called both flop and turn. Straight gets there, could have 2 pair (which he had in the end), could have a queen (KQ and Q9 most likely call flop and turn as well) or you could just be outkicked with your 9.
Really, sooooo many hands that beat you and so few bluffs here, I would have folded without hesitation, especially to a bet that big. I'm even surprised he got the guts to bet this big on this super dangerous river card.

I agree with AHOYBRAUSE statement. If I were in your position, I would fold because a straight is possible. We would certainly consider whether Klarki might have an Ace and King or 9 and 8.

I'm even surprised he got the guts to bet this big on this super dangerous river card.

There might be 2 reasons why he dared to take the risk on the river,

Klarki likely already knows @memehunter's play style, and after meme raised preflop, bet on the flop, bet on the turn, and then checked on the river. This probably led Klarki to think that if meme had a straight, he shouldn't have checked on the river. So he boldly raised on the river.

The second reason might be that Klarki was just relying on luck with two pairs in his hand and trying to bluff. But I think the first reason makes more sense.
