slapdash Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 First hand of a $100 STT on SO. In a freeroll or similar, I'd probably have called. I've not played much at this level of buy-in, and thought at least one of them must have trips. Did I show them too much respect? ***** Hand 522755872 ***** 15.00/30.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit) - 30 January 2007 21:02:43 STT $100 NL (Real/Tournament) Seat 1: pleo (2000.00) Seat 2: guercino (2000.00) Seat 3: Bertl2 (2000.00) Seat 4: gernot6xxx (2000.00) Seat 5: evk269 (2000.00) Seat 6: Grabowski1 (2000.00) Seat 7: VNH_TY!

Valiant23 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Re: Too much respect? I think............ As tight as my game is at times I would have called expecting to lose. When I say that I don't mean it would have been rash to call, but sometimes I feel its right to ignore the evidence in front of you (trip J's making the boat or trip 9's) and just bite the bullet and gamble. That said you are faced with not one all in but two and as such I don't think anyone could blame you for folding on the basis that even if you were ahead on the flop, would you still be at the river against 2 opponents. At least you got the luxury of actually seeing the other players cards. There have been times when I've been driven to distraction when I've made a difficult fold due to unfriendly boards. I've found that the best attitude to take is, "Well I trust my judgement and my judgement said fold. Whether I would have won the hand or not I made the right decision".

Football-Tipper Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Re: Too much respect? With the 99 on the table u would have to fear a full house or trips at worse..Not much else you could do really as you had no info on who you was playing, maybe later in the game you could have made a valid call on him but 1st hand you had no other choice but to fold.

slapdash Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Re: Too much respect? I was most scared of Grabowski1. He'd checked and then called after a bet from me followed by an all-in raise. Thought he must have a monster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Too much respect? You played it right for me Slapdash, you've got to be thinking ONE of them has the 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimar21 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Too much respect? I think you made the correct decision. Maybe they didn't respect your bet size. Later on that game you could easily create a weak bet trap against that guy when you have the nuts , and get his stack by his wrong all-in. If he plays too predictable of course.

heniek31 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Too much respect? Id folded and would do the same with AA. It would be easy call in $5 or $10 STT, but not in $100 one. You got all the rights to feel trips (or even FH) and in this case flush draw too. Plenty of nutters who will do that after the flop. He could have easily hit that one.

robilaruk Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Too much respect? why is it an easy call at $5 but not at $100? Damo Id folded and would do the same with AA.

Tweetypie05 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Re: Too much respect? Tough hand mate! Probably would have called (never played at $100 game level or anywhere near) as my only real fear would have been 99, JJ and AA or the Axs. If they had either pocket pair would they have bet out on the flop? Maybe, but ,more likely only with the Axs or a J IMO, as if they had hit the house on the flop slow playing it would have been better way of getting your money. All this said with 2 people in, the raise ALL-IN and call it does make it appear scarer. If you had called the turn and river would have been different and you would have been out, or at least that's what I always think when my folded cards hit a FH, straight or flush after I've folded them !
