Topic: Let's talk Texas Holdem poker hands and how to play like a PRO? - page 4. (Read 713 times)

Damn you got there first. But yeah, there's at least two threads also already dedicated to Poker, they're not much discussions there but I've seen some and you should join the weekly tourneys too, get them all discussing. I've dropped out basically, as I can't really find the time to play, though the bigger reason is that I'm really shitty at it and will only be throwing money at it.

I know at least 2 of the guys there are dead serious good.

At the real table, you can focus on specific topics such as tactics, watching human psychology. However, online poker tables can be more fun. You can only recognize the person in your way of playing. And you can't see any of his gestures. While the other person is bluffing you, he may not be able to stand in the background instead of excitement.

Flush is really a powerful combination in a Texas holdem, beating straights and three of a kind. The only unexpected entrant would be a Full house.
In the illustrated bet even if the 4th card would have been a 6 of diamonds and the last turned up to be a 3 of any kind, other player would have won with a turn of events.

Just like I said:


The thread you quoted is not active from almost 6 weeks, so I wasn't able to find it on the first few pages of the gambling discussion board.

But thank you for the link and please don't tell me to use the search function because it never worked for me  .

I was unlucky yesterday. Didn't capture a screenshot though. I had A,8 on my hands while on the table, it was A,8,3,6 till the fourth. Since nothing higher card was possible in general (it could be, could be three of a kind which I took risk), the fifth card was 10 which ruined me. The other hand had A,10. I always got screwed with the fifth.

Poker is such a beautiful game because this is a game of skills and this hand, was very tricky to play.
I understand your frustration, but many times the river card would bring the nuts to the opponent, anyways this time the odds (luck  ) were on his site from the beginning.

You haven't said too much how this hand was played out exactly, but TBH just after the flop, your hand had fewer odds compared to his.
There were still 11 cards in the deck which could improve his hand, compared to only 4 cards on your site, it's like 3:1 on his favor.
Not mention, that if on the turn Jack or 10 would hit the deck, then he would have another draw to the straight and even more outs, but luckily there was a 6.
So, he was not blindly betting with a pair of queens, only had a flush draw with the possibility for an inside straight draw, which gives almost 14 outs that could make his hand better in the best scenario.

When you see such flop, then you have to play calm and be prepaid to throw away two pairs or even a straight, because there is a huge possibility for a flush.
So, in my opinion, you are not unlucky, only need to play more and gain more experience. With such flop, I would try to keep the pot size small and control the action if possible.
I don know how betting looked like pre and post-flop, so it is hard to discuss the play further.

Many times one will lose with 9, 8 suited when having AA, KK because this is the best hand (at least for me) to play against such type of nuts pre-flop, it gives such a massive amount of draws and possibilities when opponent end up having a pair of Aces on the river, against a flush draw, straight, three of kinds or two pairs at least, exactly like in your game. With two AA one has literally only two outs. Mostly stays at one pair of AA such as started pre-flop, but sometimes you will see such flop like here and have to adjust the play accordingly.

My suggestion: start counting outs, try to calculate odds when playing and of course play more not less   .

I haven't seen a thread in this section with a discussion about poker hands played in various Texas Holdem games by our members.

Few times I wanted to share a tricky hand to discuss the in and outs of poker, with fellow poker players from around the world, but to my surprise, there was no thread for this, at least an active one.

Additionally, yesterday I saw a few hands shared in the WO thread and thought that this is the right time to start a thread where anybody would be able to share poker hands and discuss them.

Let's make a few rules:

1. Only Texas Holdem hands.
2. No spamming or off-topics related to poker, let's focus only on hands.
3. The best hands will be added to the opening post.

like I said, I have seen a great hand in the WO thread yesterday shared by @BitcoinGirl.Club, so maybe let's start from this one.
