Best Starting Hand Cracked By Worst...

Lambert180

Early on in a £3.30 DYM. I'd been very solid, as always.

Always nice to see the best starting hand in Hold 'em beaten by the worst starting hand... (well, if it was offsuit)

I don't play alot of DYMs so would appreciate the opinion of a regular DYMer, is there anything I can do here or am I just unlucky. After calling my re-raise pre I ruled out K2, K3 and 23, I figured 22/33 was pretty unlikely as well. I guess he could have had KK (although I would expect a 3bet pre) and I figure if he has this then so be it because the majority of the time he won't have it.

The shove also looks like a draw which it was in the end, so I know I got the money in when I was ahead but is there an arguement for folding this because it is a DYM which is basically the same as a satellite and there's no need to go for the win so I could have just waited for a better spot OR am I just whinging because I got outdrawn?

Super grim and super dumb.  Over sample you obv love this though.   UL

He even had the cheek to say that he'd already put 120 in and if I'd raised a bit more he would have folded!!

...I didn't realise that a 15X raise was small enough to allow 72s in...

SHANXTA

pretty certain callin it off here is fine

the only pair n flush draw combo u shud really b able 2 expect here is Ah2h, which obv is not poss as we hold the Ah, think its pretty unlikely that ur gonna see 2 pair aswell of a K23 brd, n i dnt think iv eva seen a set just open jam in this spot so that shud rule out 22/33, im presumin KK ships it pre, or does some min4b anyways!

i dnt think ur always gonna be up against a flush draw, he's 4x'd utg so readless i think u can expect to see alot of Kx hands, plus having the Ah is gd 2 cover bk dr draws

i think ur equity here vs the range i wud put him on is HUGE

But does this change for a DYM? Obviously if it was cash, I'd be happy if this was the only situation I saw for the rest of my playing life but here if I'm up against 4 to the flush quite often, do I need to take that risk of him hitting it 1 time out of 3 when it's only a DYM and I don't need the win?

The_Don90

isnt he actually ahead on the flop pair + FD im sure thats got 60% odds.

also standard.

Lambert180

No, he does have a pair, but so do I, a better one, so obviously he has two 2s to hit, three 7s or a heart, but if he hits a 7 I could counterfeit his 2pair. I'm ahead but I think its only about 60/40. I'm more annoyed about his pre-flop call. Flat calling a decent sized 3bet OOP with absolute junk AND I hadn't raised with anything less than premium hands

I dont think you need to think too much here lambert.  A dym is your least gamble game by definition.  He's opening 4x with 72 UTG then opting to call a 3 bet.

I dont think you need to know anymore about him, pretty much speaks for hs level

in this instance it aint great coz ur practically flipping in a dym, which, in level2 u dnt want to be doing

however, vs the range of hands he cud have in this spot i think u have over 70% equity which means its fine getting it in
