how badly was this hand played? 8/22

didnt really get to post yesterday, was super busy anyways this is about the same guy that folded aa preflop.

 

this hand happened a couple years ago, but i still cant get it out of my head.  he had about 1600 in front of him (started with 200) and then suffered a couple bad beats and tilted off some money and was down to about 550.  we were playing 11 handed, which i hate, but anyways here is the hand.

 

5/5 nl.  seat 7 a loose agressive old guy makes it 30 preflop hes in seat 8 he sits there for a while and then calls.  seats 9 10 11 call.  im seat 1 the small blind, i have 44 and call.  seat 2 the big blind calls, so does seat 3 who had limped in.  so we have 8 ppl in so 240 in the pot.  flop was kj4 with 2 clubs out there.  seats 1237 check he then immediately goes all in for about 520.  seat 9 thinks forever then folds,10 and 11 fold, i put my 600 i have in the pot and the rest of the guys all fold.  he shows aa and i win a huge pot.

 

we leave shortly after this and i asked him in the car on the way home what in the hell he was doing.  he goes well somebody always reraises there.  i say well if you reraise to like 120 theres no way that guy that raised it to 30 would ever fold to a reraise preflop, plus one of them deep stacks behind you is dumb enough to call with something shitty for 120, so you are at least getting 1 person in there.  plus i hate the bet on the flop, hes probably not getting called unless 44 or kj is out there.

 

i just find it amazing this hand is still in my head after 2-3 years.

Hey, clown, have you been to Wheeling island, i saw in another post you said you went to mountaineer a lot.  I was thinking about heading up,  im in Morgantown, and havent been in a live game for quite a while.

jamie gold agree 100%, i dont think he could have played it any worse if he tried. these guys are capable of playing any 2 for 30 bucks, k4 could have even been out there

 

rick, mountaineer is better then wheeling, bigger room, i have been to wheeling once, wouldnt go back unless for a tournament, mountaineer got a 1000 dollar tourney tomrorow and sunday, they will have good cash games you would think.

 

May have to hike the extra 30 min to check it out.  Or I may be a hermit and just play online.

Hey clown, how did you end up this weekend, i ended up going to wheeling and playing in a satalite for their labor day tournament.  didnt do very well, but im thinking about entering in the tournament anyways.  350 i think,  might be worth it. 

the only other place i have played poker at was the borgata and they had nice chips there, wheelings are plastic and crappy, how are mountaineer's,  I know that it is a little thing, but it is nice to have nice chips.

mountaineers r crappy same as wheelings i think, i have only been to wheeling once.  they both have tourneys on labor day, i cant go though, have some business to take care of.  i will go back to wheeling for a tournament only though i think.
