Very possible he could of put you on exactly what you had or ak. Idk though cause he is defending 23 for a 3x raise from the bb.
Results 11 to 20 of 22

Awful play by both of you if were being honest.. bluffing in such low stakes is suicide when you get donkeys like this who will call off with ace high or better!!

He may of defended wide......However, making a good call doesn't make him a donkey...I have made quite a few calls for most or all of my chips before when I thought I was good and had a marginal hand. Dude called so he obviously must of thought he had the best hand.........He did........so exactly other then his wide defense of his bb why would you call him a donkey?

You both played like donks. That's why you lost the hand. You have no one to be mad at but yourself.

Ego is such a killer. I know it's impossible to imagine that someone puts you on a hand and then your betting solidifies their read. Everything about every bet you make screams, "Just go away." But he doesn't. So you shove, lol. Can you not see the desperation in your play? I was actually surprised to see you not holding AK here, because that's the read I made when I read thru it. You're big-stacked, so possibly he's seen you play a few hands. It's likely his hand is live and you have the stack to double him on a whim. He hits a piece and your c-bet is scared. Could be a trap, but it's likely just another standard near-pot bet trying to bully with a stack. But the turn doesn't slow you down, nor speed you up. Did you ever bother to put him on a hand? If you had a big or small pair that missed the board, it's likely that turn slows you down. If you have a Queen, that turn likely slows you down. If you have something like AK or AJ, you're likely to fire another barrel hoping to win. And yet he lingers. So at that point it doesn't seem like you've put him on a hand at all, and clearly you haven't considered what hand he is putting you on. When you shove the river, it just feels desperate.
Of course, playing poker can be like how George Carlin describes driving: anyone going faster than you is a maniac, anyone going slower is an idiot. It never dawns on some poker players that they are telegraphing their hands, that a player may be able to make sick reads (and this one isn't even all that sick, tbh), or that they simply got outplayed. Man up. Learn from it rather than berate the "idiot," unless you enjoy explaining how an idiot owned you.
