27 versus a whale
Friendly home game. No rake. I’m host. 1/2 blinds. 27 bounty on $10 per player. Game is 5 handed. All Donks who see too many flops turns and rivers. Villain is whale seen him make some very loose plays. Capable of folding no pair on river tho but also very loose pre. My image is way nittier than anybody else at table. I never limp. They always limp. I haven’t shown down many if any hands but def not caught bluffing today at all. Everybody’s has a beer or three in them.
I open 72suited UTG 5 handed to 19. My average open is closer to 7-9 lately so this is way bigger and was hoping to just take down pre. Most of my bets are getting respect today and people are noticing my nittiness and verbalizing it when I make a big bet getting responses like “he must have KK or AA.” But I did get away with a blind steal w 27 earlier in night opening to 15-18 ish. Villain calls cutoff everybody else folds. He’s got about 160-180 and I cover.
Flop KsTs3c

Turn 6h

Hero remembers an old phrase by Phil Ivey that went something like “if you’re not capable of taking a $100 bill out of your pocket and lighting a match and burning it, then you’ll never succeed in poker” then I quickly slide out 20 reds.
Nah man, good riddance. The guy polluted every thread with his trolling. "All-in pre, rep aces". Whatever, I for one am glad he's gone.
hes at brutal intersection of being bad at poker while also continuously trolling while posting a ton. seems unable to get over having to play low stakes after having played nosebleeds (briefly) 20 years ago tbh.
Yeah, this hand is a really good example of how not to play 72 in a 72 game. It is clearly better to sometimes fold 72.
Were the games that soft that he was beating 100/200 NL?

game selected heavily almost exclusively at headsup at higher stakes iirc. also the lifetime graph pretty indicative of degenerate with self control issues as opposed to strong reg. probably small - medium winner in his lane (but unable to stay in it). i didn't play vs him so have no idea really beyond hearsay.
