| Pathological Poker | 2010 07 19 03:21 pm | Found these questions on the Nevada University Gaming website and thought they were interesting...these questions are designed to highlight poker players who may have a gambling problem. I know at one point or another I can easily answer YES to most questions! Questions for Poker Players 1. Do you play for stakes that you know are too high? 2. Do you sometimes feel you can't quit because you are behind? 3. Do you sometimes feel you can't quit because you are ahead? 4. When you lose, is it often because of bad beats rather than your own bad play? 5. Do you often get angry at other players at the table, for such things as slowing down the game? 6. Have you gone on tilt more than once? 7. When you are losing, do you increase your bets to try to get even? 8. Do you often stay in too many hands? 9. Do you drink a lot, sometimes going on binges? 10. Do you sometimes forget important social obligations, because you are playing? 11. Have you misled or lied to your family, friends or at work about how much poker you play? 12. Are you increasingly using the ATM? 13. Have you lied to get money to play poker? 14. Do you feel bad about things you have done because of poker? 15. Are you more interested in poker than sex? |
| My AA Play sucks.... | 2010 03 15 07:36 am | How do I play pocket aces without feeling like I've played like a donk or not extracted any value? I shove preflop and win the blinds....or I limp/raise get called by donks and lose. I know there is no one answer but various people's opinions are good to read and consider. My latest donk out: PokerStars Game #41160332989: Tournament #301010003, $10+$1 USD Hold'em No Limit - Level III (25/50) - 2010/03/15 7:22:38 AEST [2010/03/14 16:22:38 ET] Table '301010003 2890' 9-max Seat #7 is the button Seat 1: xManuel1981 (2925 in chips) is sitting out Seat 2: MrMaxwell777 (3015 in chips) Seat 3: 2lexa1971 (2835 in chips) Seat 4: Alaskan_chic (3325 in chips) Seat 5: ckj123 (3138 in chips) Seat 6: WatchOut2006 (2962 in chips) Seat 7: 18undsexy (2850 in chips) Seat 8: gabela9 (2875 in chips) is sitting out Seat 9: Mas D.T.L.L (3228 in chips) gabela9: posts small blind 25 Mas D.T.L.L: posts big blind 50 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to MrMaxwell777 [Ad Ah] xManuel1981: folds MrMaxwell777: raises 100 to 150 2lexa1971: folds Alaskan_chic: folds ckj123: calls 150 WatchOut2006: folds 18undsexy: folds gabela9: folds Mas D.T.L.L: folds *** FLOP *** [7c 2c Td] MrMaxwell777: bets 300 ckj123: raises 2688 to 2988 and is all-in MrMaxwell777: calls 2565 and is all-in Uncalled bet (123) returned to ckj123 *** TURN *** [7c 2c Td] [Qd] *** RIVER *** [7c 2c Td Qd] [Jc] *** SHOW DOWN *** MrMaxwell777: shows [Ad Ah] (a pair of Aces) ckj123: shows [Jd 7d] (two pair, Jacks and Sevens) ckj123 collected 6105 from pot *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 6105 | Rake 0 Board [7c 2c Td Qd Jc] Seat 1: xManuel1981 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 2: MrMaxwell777 showed [Ad Ah] and lost with a pair of Aces Seat 3: 2lexa1971 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 4: Alaskan_chic folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 5: ckj123 showed [Jd 7d] and won (6105) with two pair, Jacks and Sevens Seat 6: WatchOut2006 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 7: 18undsexy (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 8: gabela9 (small blind) folded before Flop Seat 9: Mas D.T.L.L (big blind) folded before Flop This loose aggressive donked me...I knew he hit a pair but was also sure he did not have a set/two pair from his previous crazy raises/calls. Am I just unlucky in this example? |
| Star City $1/$2 Cash NLHE AK | 2010 01 13 05:31 pm | Did my AK play here suck in anyway? This hand really pi**ed me off and I've been playing it over in my head so much I wanted to get some more feedback. New table at Star City 1/2...about 10 hands in: Me (SB):   Folds around with 2 callers to SB+1 who goes all in for $10 (just lost most of his stack-tilt?) I raise to $25 trying to isolate however BB (villain) calls - other two callers fold. Villain + me both about $90 stacks. Locked pot at $34 side pot $30 Flop    I bet $25 villain tanks for a min then calls Turn  I bet 25 again....villain tanks again then calls. River  I go all in villain snap calls turns over   for the nut flush...SB+1 turns over   Villain starts crapping on about how he had a feeling and he knew he would win etc etc. Did I overplay AK? Should I have checked after getting called on the turn? Am I just as lucky with my two pair runner runner as this donk was with his runner runner nut flush? Did his straight draw warrant calling all the way? I've actually seen this happen quite a bit..players with suited cards calling down turns and rivers to hit flushes. Is this 'strategic' cash game play or pure donk? Please say it's the latter... |
