Got a barrage of abuse for this.....

not just from seat 5 but from other seats also. I was called a fish, donk amongst other names, therefore it begs the question. Have I missed their point or did they miss mine.

I ended up sitting at the table trying to defend the play but it fell on deaf ears. I should have just apologized and carried on.

    pre flop was "different" but once you made your mind up to play it this way you got your money in ahead with plenty of outs to improve. as to the abuse, smile ,you know you riled them and just set about taking more off them(just wouldnt try that move for awhile mind.   phil

    i'd prob raise less 32p, id prob fold after re-raise just looking for dream flop which isnt going to happen very often. problem is if you play hands like this then your going to get abuse especially in the above hand. not terrible but if you do it often your going to miss more then you hit

    You should be abusing him for his disgraceful flop bet

    Okay, point taking, and I do agree that 4xbb would be enough. However, I was taking into account the size of the 3bet and when I seen it my eyes looked straight at her stack size which was the grounds for making the the call. Otherwise I may well be laying this down preflop with no history.

    Well What I did say was. Didn't I get my money in ahead? I don't think I mind their Cbet too Much as It represents the premium hand and is probably the right move, however I think the all in call is just wrong. I'm not entirely sure they have to make this call. Thus I did question who really was the fish and donk.

    In the long run it isn't. if he misses the flop then its just a waste

    it worked this time only and wont often work, ok to do once in blue moon but if keep doing it in this spot to people with AK or a tight range he will definately lose in the long run

    Put to me why u think its all good?

    Hi yuranasset, i play on the same tables and i echo what some of the other comments say. Pre is too aggro, suppose you have plenty of outs once you decide to push. Have to agree with CrazyBen tho, whats he doing on the flop? lol.

    As for abuse, its because they lost to an unorthodox hand. Just laugh and count their money. You pay in, you play it how you like. I fear you lose more than you win like this tho.

    Ty for the advice. I actually started doubting ho was actually tapping the aquarium, me or them. It stems from not really knowing how to play against Min 3bets though and like I said when someone does it the first thing I look at is their stack size before deciding and also being IP helps. So you reckon I should be calling pre here and most occasions when facing this sort of 3bet?

    Its prob pretty close and Im not sure about the dynamics at 4NL. The tighter the range the more he should call. Its a small 3bet and he should have big implied odds. Depends how well he and villain play postflop a bit but its a spot where hero can play close to perfectly pretty easily and villain will stack off close to 100% with overpairs.

    ok lets have a go at this, before all  the  better players come along with more sound advice that I will probably give.

    Firstly whats with the 5BB bet on the button, has this been a table dynamic. In isolation most would expect a standard 3bb button raise here. By making it 5BB are you trying to show perceived strength, or just take the blinds down.

    Now given what you are trying to do with your button raise (show strength or take blinds as you perceive your hand is vunable), what do you make of the fact when the SB reraises you. What impression did he have of your hand.

    If he thought you were strong , then he's told you he thinks he's stronger.

    Does he consider that the higher than standard raise means that your hand is vunerable, and he thinks he can take it down with anything.

    So the question is what did you think you were up against when reraised. Did you think you were behind and thus you called hoping to hit something on the flop.

    Dont have a problem with trying to take it down from the button pre flop, but you got an answer to your raise, and by calling it you were gambling that you would hit on the flop, and I think I'd have said to myself ok I tried I got caught and made the fold pre flop

    Once the flop comes I'm doing same as you here, but the pre flop play could be deemed as questionable.

    As for abuse aside from the fact that there's no need for it anyways, the other guy could have applied all those terms that he gave you to himself for his post flop play

    it's nl8 which is glorified nl4  fwiw plays pretty similar but not as many any 2 etc

    i get how deep they both are but dont think defending with 79 suited is the way to go, maybe in a multiway pot but i think its wasting too many chips here as played. this hand he got lucky and post flop was perfect but i dont think that will happen too often, say for eg. villain has AK suited here? its not really a good spot to be in, vs loose opponents we want to tighten up and same against a TAG imo get in cheap and then outplay them postflop but calling a 3 bet here is not good even vs this 1 opponent over time.

    I dont hate the play again but i think you should be tightenning up here evven if you have position, maybe K10 suited and similar hands you can defend to his 3 bet

    The only reason I call this unless they are 3betting v the btn a decent % then I will call or 4bet. It was 5xbb because lets be fair 8NL is full of calling stations and because I was 5xbb UTG, I decided show the same strength in every position, although, I do agree it's probably not required on the btn.

    I do believe you have a valid point here to an extend but its a min raise 3bet. Do you think that regardless of the size of 3bet I should be folding. I admit I do have a problem differentiating min 3bets from the blind between Strength and defence. I feel I'm priced in here.

    A min 3 bet would be 80p, ok its not much extra but then just wasting more bb's. i suppose its not too bad and around min re-raise can call but i wouldnt do it very often. Next time think about how your hand plays post flop and what hands your opponent is doing it with,

    bit of a arkward one this, iv bumped into you a little of late even on this table too i think and to be honest i would never have you on that hand pre. I always say that spending a pound or two at this level can work to your advantage as it can keep everyone guessing your next move. However in this situation your not in controle pre flop and your now relying on hitting the flop big as you really ought to know the villain is gonna be firing out on almost all flops with that kind of aggresive raise pre. For this reason this is a big no no for me. post flop = fine.  AS for people calling you a donk or a fish a have not seen that side of you but both yourself and villain have made very questionable plays here.Oh and NL4 is nothing like NL8 at all IMO

    the only thing i dislike about pre is opening to 5x, 3x btn open is perfectly fine. calling the 3bet is very marginal and i would only do it if had a decent read on how they play postflop but its sooooooooooted so :D.

    you dont need to defend why/how you play your hands just ignore them, or just say 'ty' to super tilt them
