I'm just wandering what do you think is the must stubborn plays you see people making on the poker tables over and over...?

For me - I think it's when they simply refuse to fold no matter how bad their hand is - and that really gets to me - especially if they do end getting lucky on the river and winning the pot...

Tell me what do you think of your experiences...?
 
For me it's the people who call flop and turn with bottom pair and become heroes on the river 😂 And then you question your whole life when they hit two pair out of thin air. The funny thing is, you want them to call like that forever, but it's so annoying at the same time! 🃏🤣
 
For me, it's calling too much with one-pair hands and refusing to believe the opponent has a stronger hand. 😂♠️

Some players call the flop, call the turn, and even pay off a big river bet with just top pair and a weak kicker.
The mindset seems to be, “He could be bluffing!” But they forget to ask how many bluffs their opponent actually has.

I believe knowing when to fold is just as important as knowing when to call. Sometimes making a disciplined fold saves more chips than winning a big pot.

For me, it’s calling too much with a hand they’ve already convinced themselves is strong. You see players call preflop, call the flop, call the turn, and then pay off another big bet on the river because they don’t want to believe they’re beaten. Sometimes it’s top pair with a weak kicker, sometimes just an overpair on a dangerous board. The problem is that they stop thinking about the opponent’s range and focus only on their own cards. I’ve made this mistake myself, especially when I wanted to win a big pot back quickly. It’s stubbornness disguised as curiosity, and over time those calls can cost far more than one bad bluff ever would.

Reading the posts above, I guess we're all bluffing too much 😆 , as the most 'stubborn play' I see is also players not believing my story and calling bets on flop/turn, while on the river they either hero call (with hands that don't make sense) or get lucky to improve their hand by a lot (2 pairs/trips/sets...); don't get me wrong as I'm OK with hero calls and/or calling 3 streets with 'weak hands' depending on your opponent style/blockers/etc, but I also believe this is mostly stubbornness from bad players that on the long run will cost them a lot* this kind of stuff can make the difference between you being a winning/losing poker player...

Só queria saber quais são, na sua opinião, as jogadas mais teimosas que você vê as pessoas fazendo repetidamente nas mesas de pôquer...?

Para mim, o pior acontece quando eles simplesmente se recusam a desistir, não importa o quão ruim seja a mão deles. Isso me irrita profundamente, principalmente se, no fim, eles tiverem sorte no river e ganharem o pote.

Conte-me o que você achou das suas experiências...?

Games in which the villain keeps paying any bet with any card in hand and they still win, that's depressing
 
Hello Poker fans,

Where do I start? There are so many exploitable situations! If only villains were not so unbelievably lucky against me 🤣 most times on the river too.

The popular ones I come across quite often are;
  • Flush draw on the flop - many villains shove and many call the protection bet on the river without flinching.
  • Inside straight draw - many do not give up on those
  • Top pair and low kicker - they cling to this for dear life
  • Big pocket pair - I cannot count how many times the villain calls big bets on every street, then turns over KK, QQ or JJ when there is an Ace on the board - unbelievable.
Of course, there are times when you are short-stacked and these hands are fine to risk your tournament life but very often the villain has a decent stack and dwindles away on those draws.

See you at the tables
 
Calling with weak hands just because they’ve already invested chips in the pot. People hate folding, even when the board clearly says they’re beat. Sometimes they get lucky, but in the long run, that stubbornness costs them a lot!
