Don't say that. If you meet him he'll offer to show you.....


Pocket 10's again eh Mole?

Very nice indeed! Congratulations.

Fairly straight forward hand. Top set is an obvious push to such a large raise at that flop. You'd clearly put yourself ahead. If you're bank rolled to play at that level, I'd say it's obvious push.

He's either on 2 pair, or a high pocket pair, or a lower set that you. I think you discounted the fact he was on an outside straight draw, by his 750 preflop raise.

Only thing that is going to possibly hurt you is a lower set making quads, or an over pair (J - A) hitting trips. My very rough estimation of chances, made you a 92% fav when the money went in. He bet out 1800 (pot sized) to find out where he was. Your all-in should have told him he was behind and folded the hand.

Appalling play from him to call, there is no way he can put himself ahead with KK. Perhaps he put you on A 10 ??

Fell free not to answer this question, but what size of abkroll are you playing with for these tables. To play at these limits, I'd not feel comfortable with less than $500,000 behind me to allow for short term varriance.

[mrmuzeman]

Its a different game at that level really Fools. Players are capable of going all in like Mole did with nothing but a flush draw there, sick but true.

Huge pot mate, buy yourself a car

Sick preflop call though for $750, id hate to play 1010 preflop for $750 Still if the guy never lays down big pairs then its the right call, just a sick amount to pay to flop a set. Lucky you were both double stacked or you couldnt have called that.

[AJ]

yeah, suppose your right.

The fella with KK has raised 15 x BB pre flop and got a caller, he must be delighted, if ever so slightly worried. I guess at that stage, he puts you on one of 4 hands (AA. KK. QQ, AK).

Still don't like his call of hte all in, depends on player read I guess

[mrmuzeman]

Yeah in lower stakes games I dont like the call tbh. I wouldnt call with KK there with these deep stacks personally. But then at these stakes shorthanded some crazy shit goes on. He still could have folded though, I would have put Mole on a PP since he limped UTG then called a raise (its usually a PP no higher than JJ when someone does that). So a set looks a fair bet.

I knew someone at these stakes had a mega deep stacked pot, they each had like 300bb and he had AA. He got re-reraised all in on a 3 to the flush flop with no A of that suit, totally sick and usually youd be thinking a definite set or a flush for the other guy there especially on this deep a hand. But he plays at these levels for a living and felt the guy was on a mere flush draw and playing at him so he called and all the guy had had a
Q high flush draw with J kicker so he was right. He hit it too

To balance the books I think you should be posting your big losses as well mole.

Here's a thought. We could have 2 threads for everyone to post in.

1. Hands from Heaven
2. Hands from Hell

Nice win BTW moley.

[Tweetypie05]

Nice win...



... and to think I get upset losing $2 on the lower limit cash games!
He must have been fuming...

[glceud]

It would have been interesting to see the replies if tantam had posted the hand history bit by bit
Despite losing I would say that tantam was 100% right to call.
He had to put the mole on queens Jacks or maybe even kings. The Mole couldnt have aces or he would surely have tried to take the pot down or at least narrow the field preflop
I think 99% of people would have bet the set to get paid were as the all in shove looks like an over pair protection bet or a total bluff
The moles bet could be a semi or a total bluff at that level too, bet the raggedy flop theory doesnt work in $0.50/$1.00 fixed limit but $8000 is a different matter.
Any way nice one mole.
Still not sure I like the all in shove though.

[Pocket Lady]

WoW nice one Mole.

nice pot there mate.
