Ok, I was playing a game earlier, and was dealt 7,7 as small blind.
All other players folded round to me, and I raised 3x big blind.
BB called me (i knew he would never fold a blind, he was quite loose/agresive like that)
Flop came: 2,7,9
I bet 3 times blind again, and he called.
Turn came for: 2,7,9,9
He bet all in (60x blind)
I folded my full house 7,7,7,9,9.
He showed 9,9,9,2,2.

Would you have done this? I still dont know why i did, but i just knew id lost somehow...

little problem with this one what is the blind on the flop because I thought blinds were only preflop and not postflop. And if you somehow beat the laws of poker and continued to pay blinds postflop how much were they?

I folded my full house 7,7,7,9,9.

no I would not fold, well actully I dont know what the pot was or the stack sizes or anything. Have no freaking idea what 60x blind is because again there are no blinds postflop.

Don't have to be so hard on him, you know what he meant :p

If the blinds were $1, then he bet $3 and the other guy bet $60.

Of course, we don't know what blinds were or the pot sizes.

That's a hell of a fold, a good candidate for laydown of the century.


All I can say is great fold sir, I know I wouldn't have been able to.

My analogy is the rowboat in a naval harbor. Both are boats........ I've been beaten by battleships often enough that I too might have layed that one down.

About the only time I get real aggressive with that potential underboat is if the board has flushed, or the str8 has filled.

Instinct is an interesting concept in poker, especially online.

Watching betting patterns is possibly the best way to develop this I guess? Ultimatley though it comes down to the player you are playing.

Is this a normal pattern for this player?
Does this person bluff ? and or pull off moves.
Does this person only ever go all-in with the nuts/2nd nuts?

I have notes on a few people, cash games, that say "if this person is all-in they are not bluffing"

Anyway regardless of whether you got your read from patterns then thats one hell of an instinct
