Poker Players

I know there are a few players on here, But I meet someone at the gut shot in london friday night, and this is one 100% serious he messaged it to me this morning, Im wondering what people think on this for a poker table?

Can someone please, help me here...

Playing cash on friday night, sitting there, first hand, I hit A, A, im big blind, get 5 callers and a call from small blind, makes the pot £12, I then raise £36 (odd amount i know), which makes it £48, I then get called to make it, £94, FOLD, FOLD, FOLD, FOLD, Small blind calls, to make it £140,

FLOP, A, K, 2... What ever anyone has at this point, im in the lead and there is NO flush on the board, only on runner runner, I raise £100, Get Called and then Small blind raises me £200, I call and so does the other player, makes the pot £640,

TURN, K.... "Bollox, Puts me on a house, But I have the bloke to my left on K, K,... I have checked thinking there will be a RAISE, nope he checks, and then small blind raises £500, Who to be honest, I put on a HUGE BLUFF pot is now at £1140, I then Call to make it £1540, and yes, you guessed, my worst night mare "ALL IN" from my man on pocket Kings (Well thats what I thought he had) which was £800 makes it £2,340, then small blind calls and im thinking about folding, to much value to bother, so raised £1200 all in which makes main pot £2940 and then £900 side pot to try and through small blind off... makes it and he calls (ALL OF MY STACK BUT £800 IS IN THIS POT AND MY RENT AND EVERYTHING WOULD OF BEEN ****ED, MY WHOLE SALARY IN A POT)

There is now £2940 main pot and a £1800 Side Pot (me and small blind only)

THE TURN

A

IVE THEN SAID BOLLOX, HIT THE TABLE, TRYING TO TELL SMALL BLIND, IM ON KINGS, AND IVE GOT HIM ON ACES...

He sends me all, CALL, As soon as he said it, he turns over 2 pair, A, A, 2, 2, K, So he played a pot, like this with 2 pair with 2, Q

making the side pot £3,400... main pot still £2940, Im now sitting pretty, and YES, see man to my left turn over K, K

So one table with the value of £6,340 on it has the following hands, WITH OUT EVEN SEEING A RIVER

Me: QUAD ACES
Left of Me: QAUD KINGS
Small Blind: A, A, 2, 2, 2

THE RIVER COMES

2

WHICH MAKES

Me: A, A, A, A, K
Left: K, K, K, K, A
SB: 2, 2, 2, A, A


LOOK AT THAT FOR A TABLE, AND YES, THAT WAS MY FIRST HAND, AND YES, I DID END UP 12k UP BY THE END OF THE NIGHT, NOW DO ASK ME, WOULD YOU OF PLAYED SUCH A HUGE HAND ON 2 PAIR 2's AND THAT FLOP (AND THEN A HOUSE WHICH YOU HIT ON THE RIVER?), WITH A FLOP LIKE THAT, AND YES, THE BLOKE ON KINGS, DID NEARLY CRY...

Everyone please do tell me there thoughts on this hand...

Does anyone know the odds of being dealt that on a 8 player table?
 
Balls, I've just re-read the post and realised he didn't have 2s in hand! Wrote the rest of this on that assumption but don't have the heart to delete it now. That guy is a prize plum. Can you tell me where he'll be playing next? If I hit quad kings and was done over by quad aces, I'd be absolutely spewing. Then again, the other day in a tournament, I managed to get AA in hand v KK and on the very next hand JJ against TT which both held.




It looks like a classic case of playing your own hand and not considering anyone else's. From his perspective, calling a decent raise pre-flop was pretty loose but he must have thought the gamble paid off when he hit trips on the flop. To be fair to the lad(/lass), to have someone else hit trips on the flop I reckon is about 8% on the assumption that they both hit a pair which is a pretty big call to be making unless you know your opponent really well given that the chance of any one player hitting any pair is about 6%. Using a fairly crude multiplication, the chance of two from six having a pair is about 4% and the chance of three hitting a pair is about 0.3% or 1 in 300.

From his perspective, then, he was playing in a fairly safe assumption that no-one had a pair and certainly no two players had a pair. With the size of raises, it's easy to consider that the other two had AK/AQ/AJ which would have justified his pre-flop and flop bet. For the flop bet, he was first to make any action and common sense sugests he had the premium hand. He actually did well not losing more on that part. Doing anything when the river came out though is an absolute joke. Should have cursed the cards, taken the loss and played the next hand.
 
That makes no sense at all! Apparently there are 2 turn cards and the rest of the calculations are pretty fair off too!

Apart from that ...

Oh and I'm not sure on this number, it might be slightly out (well, by slightly, it's a multiple) buit I think the chance of two players having KK and AA and then both hitting quads is somewhere around the one in 493 million mark.

Note that this is the chance of it happening with any two pairs.

In spite of all that, I'd have one bigger concern because something with an even smaller chance has happened. Why has the dealer put down six cards on the table?
 
Exactly. Thus why i didn't/couldn't give an opinion on the hand. Whatever way you look at it, the SB is obviously a numpty playing a pretty poor hand OOP.

In other poker related news, i see that DtD have been granted their license in Notts?! after a 2 day hearing in court. This will be the first club to have just poker played in it and i think im going to have to take a trip along once it does open!

There is a place in Grays dude, www.ontheriverclub.co.uk reputation is not the best tho
 
The person who write it "NUTSFLUSH" Has been battered for it, He is re writting it now, in table sense, should be funny
 
Did you go Spielers Saturday in the end?

Yes i did but i didn't realise they were doing a rather sneaky £20 freezeout! Got there around 10pm looking to play a couple of SnG's but there was none going as there was 37 runner tourny going on in which only 10 had been knocked after an hour so left ...

I will probably be there Thurs nyte though, as i have my day off Friday and then am having a real poker/football/drinking day on Saturday!

:D
 
I did warn you about the £20 freezeout in the chatroom, obviously you missed it.. :p

There are doing the freezeouts until Spielers is up and running properly, because there is no mic/pa system to call players when their SnG is ready to go.

I came 6th out of 30 last time I played the £20 freezeout, (paid top 5 :o ) my KK lost out to AK after he spiked an ace on the river...:guns:
 
I did go and have a shower as i'd played football so yes i guess i must have missed that!! DOH! Would have got done there earlier if i knew about that ... !!
 
Best hand I've seen was at the world series. Four all-ins: AA vs AA vs KK vs TT. Board came down: 3 4 5 6 7. Marvellous.
