also, I know I only post rough hands/ bad beats, but I also have made some stupid bluffs/ and calls in this downswing from hell. So I am fully aware that I have made mistakes that cost me and are a big part of why I am not winning along with the classic run bad not helping.
we dont get many kids in my neighborhood (last time I did Trick/Treat a total of 4 sets of kids came to the house over 3 hours), so I went ahead and played today.
got sat at a new table, playing 5 handed, and it was honestly one of the eaisest small win tables Ive been on. I would raise and get called by 1-2 guys, bet the flop and win 60% of the time, bet the turn and get a fold another 30%, and finally on the river I either had it, or made a prepared bluff and they would fold.
Rolled my $200 up to $450 over the hour on the table, never having had to bet more than $40. eventually table fills up, play for another 1.5 hours without much movement, slowly chip down to $375ish. Then this hand happens.
get dealt Ah7s in later middle position. Limp for $2, Button makes it $12, SB (aggressive better with $500 behind), BB (calling station about $400 behind) call. its $10 more and I am last to act so I call.
flop is 7h-3h-3c. Checks to me, and I bet out $25, button folds, SB takes a bit and calls, so does the BB.
turn is 4s. checks to me again, and I bet $50.
SB hems and haws, asks me how much I am behind, eventually announced a raise to $125. BB folds, and now because of how aggressive this guy is I can eliminate any pairs here other than 44. every other pocket pair I would lose to he would have raised pre from the SB. Me having the Ah takes away most logical flush draws.
So at this point, hes either got a 3, 56, or air/flush draw. So I dont think going all in makes sense, I only get called by a 3 or 56.
And if he is on a flush draw, ive got one of his outs. Plus, before he raised, he seemed really aggitated that i wouldnt vocalize how much i had behind, I just raised my hands to show the roughly $300 at that point.
I dont waste much time to decide that his aggression tendency forces me to call the additional $75, if hes got a 3, I might be able to bluff on a heart river.
river is a 10s. and he insta shoves. hes got me covered, Ive got a bit over $200 behind. and this puts me in the tank.
Im trying to figure out what he could have that I beat. In theory, that T should have been a blank barring him having ThXh. So I can beat a missed flush draw, worse 7, random 4 maybe 45,46, plus pure air.
I actually thought this out. if he doesnt have a 3 but had a T, would he really have shoved into me, the way I have played this hand, acting last to call the additional $10, plus the almost snap call I made on the turn, I have all the 3s, A3, 23,34, and any suited 3.
So a naked T should not shove here. because he would have to be worried about me having a 3 or even 44/77. I also didnt think a 3 would shove because he would to get everything he beats to fold, with my hand being one of the very few that could pay him off.
If hes put me on a 3, the straight would be the ONLY hand that can shove here for value.
I finally just decide that hes aggressive as fuck, and call.
he announces, I am good, and mucks his hand, I dont show... and he pitches a fucking fit.
demanding to see what I had... and Im like dude, I called you, you mucked, so I dont have to. He questioned the dealer who agreed with me.... which set him on a level of tilt I havent seen in a while. only played for 2 more hands, it was past 7:45 and I wanted to watch the Rangers in peace.
in for $200, out for $855
