Played Likve Poker last night. LASTED ONE HAND!

I sold about $145 of my carbon the other day for some Real life cash lol, and decided last night to buy in to my local poker house cash game. I arrived and there were 7 players only playing, i recongnized everyone there from previous experiences. I arrived at midnight, 2 hours prior to closing, they tend play reallly really loose and its almost free chips.
So i bought in for $70 the blinds are $1/$2:

My first hand was dealt in UTG+1, the first person limps, I looked down on A(s) K(c), i open for $12 dollars, Next person folds, then the next calls, whcih causes two other people to call, and the initial limper to just call.
5 players going to the flop

K(d) 5(c) 4(d)

BB checks and the UTG checks, i tank for a moment and bet $33 , first folds, second person goes ALL IN for $78 , the others fold, i look down at my AK and just smile, and say wow,,, first hand huh? With almost my whole stack in there anyways i call and he odesnt like to show his hand until its over.

Turn:
K(h) The guy is mumbling plz diamond.. plz diamond....

River:
6(d)

He goes YES! i have a straight and a flush 7(d) 3(d)

and bam it was over that quick. After Rake itts still a $170+ pot.
I was sad that i lost the hand, but on the walk home i just thought to myself, what could i have doen but raise more preflop, and that is why i play poker, for people just like him that will put it all in on a flush draw and a gut shot straight draw. I got my money in good, and there is nothing else you can really do. Yes i wasnt HUGe favorite or anything but i still was ahead, prolly around 60% vs 40%

Anyways TTYL

lol yea thats the only way to think about it otherwise its gonna eat u alive...frustrating as hell but what can u do...keep ur head up

That is sure is rough for a first hand but your thinking is right about getting it in good. A lot of people can't handle it.

i hope u cussed him out good

If you were heads up preflop with him it would of been 60/40, but after the flop it was actually a coin flip, so the preflop call by him was questionable, imo, once he was in with that flop, can't blame him for the play. Think you were still a very slight favorite, but not more than couple percent. I've noticed playing live you get a lot of callers with raises for some reason, maybe its the level i play at. I once raised aabout 6X bb (your raise i believe) preflop and got 5 callers, i had QQ. Flop comes up all rags, guy pushes and has something like 6 3 s, and hit 2 pair.

owwwww that s stinks, and first hand too, sorry BPM. i have only WATCHED live NL holdem cash table before , at my local casino, 1- 3 blinds i think. and it was even scaryy to watch, casue i wold see people take beats, lose 200 and then pull out more moeny rt a way too,,,i countt play at that table tho, hope u get it next time tho:))

That's a tough beat. I would played it the same way.

Find lot of the same play at the 2/3 table at the casino. Have been very fortunate to have won hands like that. Normally like to allow myself more than a few hours to play to gage the table. Never bought in for anything less than the max even if I see the table average is less.

Would been nice to pull that pot towards you. Hope it is better next time out for you.

well that was a bummer eh? Better luck next time :)

IMO i NEVER play the first hand(death hand as i call it) unless its AA or KK so i could have easily folded AK there. With 3 d's out there on the flop i wouldnt have bet 33 and no u wasnt a 60 40(maybe the other way) on the flop u was actually behind the flush draw. A limp and a small flop bet would have got u the same info as u wasnt gonna make a draw fold there. If the IDIOT is gonna call 6xbb with 7 3 u aint EVER gonna make him fold. Tough break but u could have avoided the allin regardless of how many chips u already had in, which means nada. Cant get married to AK especially the first hand in..

Abwill, there were only 2 diamonds on the flop., and yea i know i shouldnt get married to Ak offsuit especially first hand, but i bought in low i always do, anx i arrived there around midnight, they ar so loose that noob prolly would have called my $18 pre flop raise with 73 suited, thats just how bad they play

you played it fine ... you got your money in good

The only issue I see is playing with one buyin ...

Awww that sucks bpm maybe you will win b2b today:D

thats getting MERGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

WTF you raised pre-flop $17 and the guy calls with 7(d) 3(d), what a donk. I would not go back to that cash game

that was sick, you played it right, sucks it was your first hand, almost like a bad lap dance from a stripper and now you want your money back, you will get him next time..he is a big time fish

He probably had enough money to gamble plus u were under the gun maybe a limp would have saved u some money...probably would have got small bets or checks to the river and u might have been able to divorce your hand

Better luck next time
it sometimes passes these these situations

the old saying goes you win some you lose some

yes ppl tend to put alot on having ak,i,ve done it too.but now with lots of experience with those cards i know that 3 out of 5 times i have them they r a no show,so i try to see a flop for as cheap as possible and hope and pray they come if not let them go

My bad i looked at it wrong. You want that moron to call you with that trash just hope for better luck next time

somtime you ned to have poker gods on your side bad luck

that is pretty tuff man I used to grind a $1-$2 nlh game almost not worth it unless you have a few thousand to play with.At that low I suggest a limit game something like $2-$6 dealers choice is good.

He was trying to give you his money, but sometimes the poker gods won't let them. You played it well, but got a little unlucky, it happens.

i will hope for best luck next time....

That's a rough beat. I have played live and most of the people I played with are strong tight players. The few donks would kill our hands. I hope u good luck next time.

Might want to look for the thread about putting to much faith in the old AK. The bet was good but like you said there are players out there that will go the house on a straight or flush draw.

hahaha how long were you there? 2 minutes :P

thats why i hate live poker.......u have to go to places.....=PP

Ouch, that's a kind of beat I'd prefer to take online, so nobody would see me. Just saying. Also, you're thinking was correct, he probably would've folded to a bigger raise preflop, but he had pot odds to call when it got to him. If he had shown on the flop, maybe you could've talked him into running it twice.

This is why I only play the nuts. Try playing 79s its the nizzzzzz

this is BPM,s thread and wh ere is he anyways now??...well he prolly come back sometime
