ajzepp Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 I was late to the game last week and really disappointed to see that only three people showed up. I thought there would be more consistent participation, but doesn't look like a weekly game is going to stick

I thought there would be more consistent participation, but doesn't look like a weekly game is going to stick 733257[/snapback] A couple of nights ago, I deposited 50US into party poker. I go into a .50/1.00 table no limit. First hand comes out. Ace King of Diamonds. I figured it was the strongest hands on the table (which is a fair assumption). I raise 5$ before the flop. Some dude brings me all in at 45$. I think it over and said, !@#$ it, i went in. The flop comes out and not in the history of hold em have i ever seen such a pathetic flop. 2-3-8-9-Q. The dude had a pair of kings in his pocket. I didn't connect with anything. 50$ gone. And i'm not playing online till summers over.
Acantha Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I tried playing online once and hated every minute of it. For me, poker just isn't poker if you can't see the faces of the people your playing with.

We really needed you at our games, lol 733304[/snapback] Playing .5/1 N/L (or limit for that matter) with $50 is insane, but if somehow I were in that situation, I don't think I could lay that hand down. When an unknown online player pushes 50x the blind on the first hand, you have to figure there's a 80% chance he's just being retarded with a wide range of hands other than AA/KK.

I'm way too tight of a player to do something like that,lol.

It's not an overrated hand though considering how many idiots there are at that level who love to play any Ace.

On any other occassion, I probably would have folded but I was impatient and did something I shouldn't have.

I'm getting near finals next week, lots of people go on vacation, tis why there are no good TV shows during summer.
PJBrown Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I will play if we can get at least 5 there 733933[/snapback] What site do you guys play on? I'd love to play semi-regularly.... By the way, if you raise to $5 (.5/1.00 blind) with suite AK and someone puts you all in, fold....like a cheap suit....fold....you were in a coin flip at best

Anyways it's only 50$. I have lost more on single spins at roulette. I'll live.
ajzepp Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 What site do you guys play on? I'd love to play semi-regularly.... We've been playing at www.pokerroom.com And I'll just throw out there that if there are enough people interested, I've got nothin' but time tonight...
GoodBye Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 I'd love to play tonight but I just paid bills and have no money until Friday. I can probably do next week!
