makes me laugh when people think "OMG I hit a BD flush" without realising that the flop got checked through.

The moment when you realise that the second pot was a £100 bigger than the first.

Wrong part of the forum mate. Thread should easily be in the Clinic, seeing as you absolutely butchered the 1st hand.

Your play here w/AQhh is what's holding you back Lambert. It's what would take you from a solid Amateur, to a respected reg, a Professional.

When we get it in here, we should have alarm bells going off. There's a potential straight flush draw out there, and if you're paying attention, you would have felt the [7h] coming. Yes we have the nuts, but have you learned nothing from PLO?! LOL, NLHE fishplay thinking the nuts is enough to get it in. Where's your 6th sense man!?

The "I felt it coming" instinct is a MUST for any aspiring player.

Not only that, but if you were a Pro, you would have authorisation to the classic 'Boomswitch.exe.' software, that allows you to fade these rivers.

Rookie errors Lamby, but don't worry my son. We'll put you on a correcting course soon enough.





srsly tho...
Nice thread Lamby, wpwpwp

He's making the point that the dynamic changes completely when the flop has been checked around.

Nice fold. I know he's made a pretty big raise but I assume you must have that guy tagged as the king of nits to fold here

calcalfold

Yeah, based on reads, would have been tricky with no notes
