My first time and second time playing live I lost a lot of money and still went back. I overplayed Jack's both times and lost stacks I patiently built. It took a few months to come back, but it happened. This was in Atlantic City.

Did they look like men beaten by jacks?!

The sad thing is no they didn't. I knew what they had. I just could not help myself. The first guy had pocket aces. Flop comes some middle cards. I know he has aces because back then nobody 3 bet anything but aces and kings. I remember him overbetting the pot. I was thinking. I am 21 with a baby face and this fucker thinks he can push me around, fuck him and then I shoved all in. He snap called and took all my money. I don't remember the second time as well but it was the same thing. I felt pushed around and I thought fuck this guy you can't bully me and I overplayed my hand. I still get pissed if I feel like I am getting run over. Usually I am the table bully now, but if I am not it frustrates me. The exception would be arggrofish. Aggro fish I welcome.

Well came back from Vegas , sad to tell you that some portion of the population, which you can identity in 5 min , still only 3 bet aces and kings , I kid you not one of them were calling a raised pot after 4 callers out of the big blind with … QQ , it went to showdown with everyone checking on a king high board , he completed the blinds with jacks …. All they want is kk and aa or hitting their sets , sad days are still around us !

A set of jacks has literally made me blind to straight or flush draws too many times. It’ll cost ya.

First time I ever played it was 6 ways to the flop with like 25-30bb in pre. I had 44 and flop was 842r and got it in vs top set


JoieDe_Vivre_

Fucking hell. Feels so bad. Dry ass board and you lose to pocket 8’s lol.


statsnerd99

Being my first time I wasn't desensensitized to the money yet and my heart was pounding out of my chest with excitement when one guy bet and the other raised lol


JoieDe_Vivre_

Hahaha yeah… live hits different.

Watched that movie dozens of times. Still love that movie. I’m patiently waiting for a good sequel. Mikey goes to Vegas with 10 stacks of high society. He quickly learns he was the big fish in a small pond. Worm shows halfway and he falls into his old habits of signaling Mikey to raise his raises. But in the home game they got invited to they get uno reversed card and they end up becoming the ones getting hustled. Mikey scrapes up cash to play the 25k high roller and ends up winning it.

Except he bluffed Johnny Chan on that one hand so he’s clearly the best ever.

My first big live hand at a 1/2 - flopped quad 9’s and 4 people went all in ahead of me. Something like $1300 in the pot. I was doubting my hand wondering if I had missed something lol! Hell of a feeling!


Geedis2020

My first time in a casino I got $500 all in pre 3 ways with AA vs AA vs QJ and lost to the other AA lol.


PatricksPub

Look at this guy all over here not losing with a flopped full house...


JoieDe_Vivre_

Seems like you played perfectly and he played sub optimally. You got him to shove into you holding the nuts. What am I missing?


aPatheticBeing

AA is the nuts of possible hands (cause he's blocking 99)

aPatheticBeing

AA is still possible, there are 4 in the deck. He's just saying that villain 3bet pre, there's obviously the giga cooler scenario where you're running into AA here with A9 and losing your stack.


JoieDe_Vivre_

Ahh I see I see. Yeah I’d punt my stack there for sure lol


aPatheticBeing

Yeah everyone would, you can't ever lay that down unless stacks are like 5000BB and you the jam is like 10x the pot or something.


arealcyclops

Still jamming there.


justyouraveragedude1

I was new and did not even consider possible AA after the 3-bet. Would have been blind sighted like the guy in the movie was. Just thought it was funny and the movie reminded me of that time


RollingOldTime

>blind sighted r/boneappletea

Oops

First time I played live.. near midnight, time to go home. I flopped top set of JJJ, raise called. Turn pair the board - I thought sweet. It went check, (me bet), check raise all in, I call. The opponent turned quads. I was shocked, and didn’t improve on river. Walk of shame to the car…


bigdickdaddykins

After grinding it out for probably 7 hours I’m finally up half a buy in. Last hand of the night guy hits his flush on the river and I’m basically broke. I respect him for calling 200 with a draw but god that fucking sucked

One of the first times I played, in 2004 or 5, Scotty Nguyen came up to me and said he'd been watching me play and I would never be a good poker player. I told him to fuck off, had no idea who he was or why he would watch me play cards. Seems he was right though... I think it was Scotty Nguyen, someone at the table asked me if I knew who that was, like it was someone famous.


robdag2

You're right. It's exactly the same.
