Me and my friend go and play poker pretty often together i bought in 100 n was sitting with about 500 and my friend was up to about 470 from a buy in of 70, we try to stay away from eachother but we agree that we can play against eachother and its fair game with the money, so i raise to 20 with AA n he has AK n he raises to 100 after a raise of 40 behind me. I call the flop comes out 2 hearts with a king. So i bet 180 into this pot and he raises me all in and hit runner runner hearts to crack me and takes down a pot of nearly 1k , FML to the max!!!!!

tough beat and sucks that you had to lose it to a friend. Sometimes I'd rather lose to a stranger than make my friends rich off my money.Comment -
Well maybe hell be a pal n give me 100 back im trying to convince him that +800 is still good lolComment -
i fukking hate losing to my friends but its bound to happen sometimes, i was playing not that long ago at a spot by my house w/ my boy who was staying at my house, hes a wild player and he was sitting with like 400 and i hadd like 3 after we both bought in w 200, he kept raising and raising and he raised into my kk's, i re-raised like 40 and he put me all in, i called hoping hed have ak or and under pair, sure enough he had 9's, rivered a 9. He kicked me like 50 bucks and bought me some drinks but thats cards 4 u..Comment -
no re-raise?bird bird da bird's da wordComment -
another raise of 100 pre flop after 3 raises before? are you kidding, guy already had 100 in the pot with about 350-400 in the pot if i raised to 200 no way he goes anywhere with those pot odds,Comment -
you got aces and you're afraid of giving pot odds pre-flop? If you have the best hand you want to be called all in. That's the simplest play in poker.bird bird da bird's da wordComment -
basically what im saying is your assumption is dumb because if i re-raised to 200 pre flop hes going to call because hes already committed into a pot with good pot odds. and the board would of ended up the same so nothing would have changed the ending. rComment -
I made no assumption that he would fold. You have to know that you're a big favorite in the hand. And getting as much $ in as possible pre-flop is a dream scenario. Yeah, your gonna lose sometime. So what?
Plus, there is a chance he would fold to an all-in re-raise pre-flop.bird bird da bird's da wordComment -
getting 300 in there pre flop on a 1/2 table is very good i think i covered that...but yea i no what you were saying now. I agree but i got what i wanted there, knowing that he had a premium hand by re raising 2 raises in front of him told me i could still milk him which i did on the flop he just got lucky.Comment -
that sounds good in theory ,but like they say'u see how much of a freind he really is if he gives it back...personally i say hell noOriginally posted by UntilTheNDofTimEComment -
he did.... he smoked me out and bought a bottle n then we went to denny'sComment -
Honestly, I don't think its an instacall with AK unsuited if you push there.
You bet 20 (now have 480)
Other guy raises to 40
Buddy raises to 100 (now has 370)
You push all the chips, other guy folds, now there is 640 in there. He's getting about 1.75 to 1 on his money, and he has to put you on AA or KK with that huge reraise. You wouldn't push with anything else in that spot.
Against AA he's a 9-to-1 dog
Against KK he's a 2.33-to-1 dog
Your right, he might call, but he'd be stupid to. If he's a good poker player, he folds, and you take down a nice pot.
You are right, if he called nothing would have changed in the grand scheme of things. I will say this though; he got the perfect flop and was right to push his chips after the fact. If he called you pre as a 9-to-1 dog and beat you, He probably would be more inclined to give you a few bucks back for how dirty he did you.Comment -
the problem i have is this "we try to stay away from each other" and "we agree that we can play against each other".
if it was "i try to stay away from him" that is one thing, any other agreement between poker players at the same table is collusion, plain and simple.
do you guys use hand signals to cheat also? most of the time when i have known buddies to play at the same table, they will do crap like check with their right hand when they have 2 pair, fiddle their chips with a set/trips, etc etcComment -
Clearly these two don't. Until raises to 20, other player raises to 40, with AK and AA between them they could have easily extracted some chips out of that guy.Originally posted by milwaukee mikeComment -
they did extract 100 if i read it correctly.
not accusing anyone of cheating, just saying that 2 friends at a table that built up 70 and 100 to 470 and 500 (and the fact that they go TOGETHER PRETTY OFTEN) sounds a bit fishy. also where can you buy into a no-limit game with what i'm assuming is 3-5 blinds for less than 100?Comment -
Weve talked over many scernerios where wed split all total revenues n other shit like that but after the last time we went im like we can just play against eachother, hes by far one of the better players i no and it dosent hurt to go up against him, we usually leave with about 300 each every time the comp is very weak but the action is good,Comment -
To mike,
im a agressive player i build pots , but u wont get into a pot for under 7 bucks period, we go every week on wed or thurs for 2 months or so str8,Comment -
1-2 no limit buy in min $40 max $200 mikeComment -
so it's 1-2 blinds?Comment -
yesComment -
lol you answered my question right before i asked it.
just don't mention to any of the other players at the table that you go together and have considered splitting revenues. you might find them next to your car with a baseball bat...
Comment -
was another guy there with nearly 900 chips. people come in and out its not unlikely for people to have big stacks. whats fishy? not getting it lolComment -
hahah its used to be more fishy when 3 people were in a hand and wed knock 1 out, and wed check out to the showdown....thats what we agreed to the first time we wentOriginally posted by milwaukee mikelol you answered my question right before i asked it.
