Message: [QUOTE="light65536, post: 829960, member: 23958"] Running about $31 still. I was up to about $35 and didn't know the rules completely because there was 4 of a kind on the board and I thought I'd be "cute" or do something funny and go all in. Well the other player had a king high kicker and won the entire pot. I didn't know that rule. So I lost about $3 or $4 on that mistake. Then I had pocket 9's and was raised like 4x bb and got re-raised like 2x that by player to my left -- the player who just called my first bet just called that bet. One of the players had called both times and I felt he was weak. The flop came Q47. Nothing too scary except maybe KQ or AQ. The player who just called went all in on the flop. The player who raised the most folded. This influenced my thinking and I've seen a lot of smaller stacks bluffing. So, I called he hit a set of 4's to bust me. He was like "thanks for the chips". I told him I'd bust him. Well 2 hands later I had my chance. AK and I raised 12 cents. He called again. The flop came something like A78 and I raised and he re-raised. So I pushed him all in. The villain had flopped 2 sets on me in a row busting me again! That sucked. So that pushed me down to about $28 and now I've just built back to about $31. About 90% of the time the short stacks are bluffing with nothing and I just didn't believe he hit 2 sets in a row. I put him on something like A-10 or a bluff. I'm thinking in the second instance if I had not flopped the ace or had something less like AQ I could have got away but flopping the ace with the KING. I felt he was for sure trying to push me off my hand and maybe had AQ or something at best. In a full ring game I think I might have thought "set" but in a 6 player game I haven't seen that as much and AK is super strong 6 player. I guess this was an instance where controlling the pot would have been better.. if I convinced him I couldn't be pushed all in then I might could have got away cheaper but still if he pushed all in on the river then I'd be forced to either fold or call and I doubt I'm folding AK on that board.
