Biggest Pet Peeve

you gotta live with stuff like that. These are the people that are putting money in your pocket.

Except this last week they've been taking it, I'm down $200 and frigging broke. If I don't cash out some money soon I'll be eating ICHIBAN the rest of the month!

Your limit is too low. Those players at that limit are the maggots of the poker world....except for you of course. Once you build you money back up, move up a couple notches. A lot of those people will have went away. Not all though, believe me.

yeah dont be worried if you're down a lot in a game like that... whenever i play low limit theres so many idiots that its practically like playing against colluders... i'm automatically a dog to win the pot unless i flop a monster, everyone will chase every draw to the river, and one of them ALWAYS catches some kind of draw.... its sick

Save yourself some grief and go play at the NL tables or at O8B, where people playing like shit screws you less often than in low limit holdem

LOL - or these are people that can help build your bankroll so you can sit in that cheated $15/30 game, right?

Apart from Lou, everyone who thinks they "contributed" to this thread has done exactly the opposite.

You people have so much to learn about limit poker.

I am a pretty nice guy, and I am willing to teach you, but not with the attitude of the original poster (who was only complaining, not keen to learn) nor with the attitudes of stussy, humpty and johnbaker, who simply gave the original poster bad advice (under the pretence that they actually know what they are talking about). They simply don't have a clue. This is not meant to offend, this is simply a statement of fact.

If any of you are interested in learning about limit, ask nicely and I will be more than happy to enlighten you.

Maybe you didn't read the name of the post, but please enlighten us on how to play a set against a person drawing.

[jayadd]

you cant let people draw for cheap so raising any chance you get is a good thing.

[Talking Poker]

YOU played it right - keep ramming and jamming that pot while you have the nuts (in this case, top set). What Charlie is saying, and I hope he will clarify, is that the person raising with their draw isn't making as bad a play as you think. I didnt' see the hand, but it may not have been a bad play at all.

If I flop a nut flush draw, for example, I will ALWAYS raise the flop bet (even if the guy has top set, which I obviously wouldn't know) when I'm in late position. I do this for two reasons:

1. It build the pot and gives me better math to continue with my draw
2. It usually gives me the option of taking a free card on the turn.

i have a couple of questions for you...
1) how can u possibly think that you can give the poster good advice when he played the hand perfectly
2) how do i not know what i'm talking about when my math is completely right... in every 2/4 limit game ive ever played in i get a family pot about 2 out of 3 hands. even if i tighten up and play only premium hands, i would be at BEST a 33% favorite (with AA). Opponents at this level chase any kind of draw, reasonable or not, which cripples the statistical strength of my hand. obviously I could play at the top of my game and win in the long run, but i would have to play hundreds of hands per week for everything to average out. I just offered my personal preference to the poster, because you will almost never get a full table of donating idiots in an omaha game, especially at higher limits. Also, fish playing in NL holdem games always tend to float to the surface. Terrible draw-outs can be prevented, and when an idiot decides to chase a draw, you can get almost all of his chips, unlike in limit.


If you somehow think youre still right about what you said, please tell me, because i cant really imagine anything you could say that would prove you right.
