Another Norfolk poker player

i have now found form but i just hate pocket aces, in the home game i got all my chips in with them and got cracked by pocket tens(after he called another all in aswell, aces v kings v tens, cant believe the tens called, they were offsuit lol) and in my steaming i went off to play a bit of cash poker, made £70 in two hours but had to get to work sat morning so was short. sat evening i played a semi freezeout up norwich and with the help of the deck (my a10 v 99 and kk and i rivered broadway, god im running good at this point) and a few calls for info(they folded and would not show what they were betting with, i thought a showdown meant i can see there cards as i did call there bets) and i came 4th even though i was quite card dead on the final table(andy i was not playing tight at all). my winnings went to the cash table and from then on it did go a little sour, here is the hand in question:

blinds 50p/£1 and £2 straddle

i had  9c tc utg+1, utg folded, i raised to £6(had £70 in front of me), next player to me called, folded to straddle who called. flop was  kc jc :2h:, straddle checked, i fire £10, next player raises to £25, straddle folds, i reshove for £53(i would have betted a lot more if i had it in front of me) and he snap called, he flipped over  ac ah so smugly so i flipped my  9c tc and said "i have the nut draw then" and the turn was  4h and the river was the miracle  7d which ment my ten high was no way near good enough to beat his aces, smug twat. for the weekend though im £10 up at the moment but if my draw came in then it would have been a real good weekend, now waiting to go to the pub to get some serious whoop-ass going.

wish me luck

whoop-ass really means getting rivered and sucked-out on, pub was crap so wanted an early night, got home and played some sng"s on stars, played four at once and three tables got sucked out on, fourth i quadrupiled up when i shoved pre with 55 and the flop brought 55x, just finished out of the money though as was card and situation dead.

just been playing at a newish poker club in kings lynn. played a £10 freezeout, 16 runners(poor turn out imo) but after some good plays and some cards, i made the final table, managed to ko a aggressive player by using his aggression to my advantage, got down to the final three with 2/3 of the chips in play but had a car crash, KK(button all in) vs 99(me on sb called) and another hand a8(same button attacker) vs my a5(on the sb) and i called and lost most of my chips, blind shove and snap call, missed the flop completely and cashed for £27, it was so annoying as both my hands were imo beating the buttons range and i was up against the nuts every time. just cant win one, maybe i should have not thought i had it in the bag when i had my chip lead.

national league tomorrow and have already bought in for it so with my confidence should have it in the bag and sod the blooming pub league, there is no correct play(not many know pot odds accoring to percentage of winning the hand, im not great but i have a firm understanding) and they will call your raise when they have a dry ace cos they have an ace. i feel i can beat a good player but i cant beat a donkey, wow i must be a terrible player if i cant beat a donk

Ant

Give me a donkey with a dry ace over a good player anyday.

good players consider your holdings, manage the pot size, play position, know where they are in most hands, fold when you give them incorrect odds for a draw, lose the minimum when they are behind, win the maximum when they are ahead, their betting patterns make them difficult to read, they have a good read on you and are able to bluff you off pots..........the list goes on......

remember that next time a weaker player gets lucky against you.

antthecat:
good players are easier to play as they understand that a bet of 1k into a 600 pot means that they are not getting the pot odds to call on the draw, bad players dont understand this and they always seem to hit their straight or flush when the odds are against them so they always seem its the right call.

form is still good at the moment as came second in pub league(blooming landlord had trouble with his wifi so could not play league match) and won £50 playing face up poker. im a sick puppy really but i stopped ahead as did not want to see a friend lose his money(i did have to give him a lift home aswell, did not want friction). playing tonight so all the best
