Lol 😆 I am the same way man. I battle them often. I learned pretty quickly not to do it with emotions though. I had to be super patient and wait for my spots; when I knew my range was smashing thiers. That’s the only way to truely beat them.
You beat them though! That is always nice!Lol 😆 I am the same way man. I battle them often. I learned pretty quickly not to do it with emotions though. I had to be super patient and wait for my spots; when I knew my range was smashing thiers. That’s the only way to truely beat them.

They both called a 3-bet pre-flop, so an over pair somewhere in there is a definitely possible. Then utg bets into the 3-bet aggressor and utg 1 calls. Now an over pair is likely, but that’s on the low end of the range once everybody calls. There’s 87 for two pair and all the sets out there now as well, more hands are beating you at that point then not.
Then, with all the callers, early position bets into everybody again and ugt 1 raises! That is SUPER strong. Everybody is raising each other and everybody is calling. Even a pair of pocket aa’s is weak at that point.
In my opinion you have to get out of there. Hands down. You’re pretty much drawing to a two outer. You won this time, but if you played that hand over and over, you’d lose like 90% of the time.Man, I think I might have raised the flop like you did, but after they called then bet and raised on the turn, I would’ve been done! Maybe not against just an aggressive player, but definitely against a maniac AND a proficient TAG. If you don’t improve on the river, do you call a bet? What was your thinking calling the turn raise?
The turn brings in a couple more bluffs, idk if there’s enough out there to call though.. Especially with a competent TAG player raising it..@K Nguyen,
He would raise with the nut flush, but probably not otherwise. If it wasn’t the nut flush I would think he’d just call me all the way down or bet turn and river if I checked them.
As it played, with both of us checking the turn, I was planning on calling any bet, but it would have been a close call… A large raise may have gotten me off of it, but I am a calling station, lol. Checking the river to induce the bluff isn’t a bad idea either, but what bluffs does have there J10? Maybe K9 suited? I’m not sure how often I’d have to be right to call a river bet there..Hey, good to hear man! I like the bet til I’m raised approach, but then I have to actually fold when I get raised. I’ve detected one of the main issues I have is calling raises. Ever so often I hero call correctly, but the ratio to them having it far out weighs them not having it. It’s hard to do when I get check raised when I have top/top, but they always seem to have it!
The name of the place this hand happened at is the Red Dragon up here in Seattle. It’s a nutty game, that’s for sure.
When are you and Andrew going to come up this way for a M.U.G.? It’s been awhile and I wasn’t aware when you all came up last time. I’m there when you guys do!
I’m no pro, but I think you played that pretty well. You can’t really get away from in once you bet the $100 and he raises you the rest in.
With that exact holding he only has about 25 percent to hit a flush or a straight. That’s about even pot odds to call. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong..That being said, I probably would have 3 bet larger, having aces out of position. That way you can charge good hands, be dominating the crap hands that call, and fold out everything else.
Lol! That’s some good reasoning right there. I like the check on the turn for pot control. Only problem is, the tables I play at can be hyper aggressive, so if I check when a flush is on the board, I am almost certainly getting raised all the way down, which can be difficult to navigate. Two streets of value does seem good, those trip queens just made me feel like maybe I should have been getting more.
It was a 1-3, but it plays closer to a 2-5 cuz pretty much everybody opens with 12-18. It’s fun cuz the pots are big, it sucks cuz the buy in is only 300. As aggressive as the 1-3 tables get around here, it makes it hard to play some times without getting all the money in all the time. It can be profitable though, you just have to play pretty snug.
Thanks for getting back to me Brad! I hope you are feeling better and things are looking up. All your videos you were putting out were a godsend!
