I could have had any pair—maybe even a higher pocket pair. I flopped a set of 4s, but I waited until the river to see if a fourth card that could complete a straight would show up. I found the call with AQ highly suspicious. You’re acting all smug just because I lost the hand, but I’d like to see who else would make a call like that—with such a small pot and both of us sitting on such deep stacks. In a $50 tournament, I highly doubt you’d ever make that call with AQ.Poker Orifice said:

And sorry but u got completely owned in that AQ hand. "I could i could i could" ... but u didnt! U would be surprised how good certain players play on midstakes+. He just figured u have tons of bluffs there on that board and as last player to act. Super risky yes, especially with 4 players in the hand but he was right. That hand is no reason to cry foul play.

I'm betting he made the call because he weighed the situation out and figured he had you beat... VS. that he could somehow see your holecards.
(flopped trips and waited... to let a straight draw catch up and hit? Yah. that makes sense.).
I know you think it was just a read on a bluff (which is what happened), but given the size of the pot, the size of my bet, and the way the entire tournament was being played—not to mention that this was a real-money game, not a freeroll—risking a call based on a read that it was a bluff is actually quite atypical, and it made me suspicious!Sunz of Beaches said:
Presumably the flop and turn got checked, because otherwise A9 would probably not have made it to the river along with 3 other hands. So assuming the river card was the J, was is a massive overbet even representing? If you had a boat or trips, you would probably have bet the flop or the turn to get some value and build the pot. And if you rivered top pair, you would probably bet an amount, that worse hands can call, instead of moving all-in. So your line is really only representing a bluff, and since everyone else had folded, he decided to call with his bluff catcher.rei signo said:
No because you would not check those hands on both the flop and turn and then move all-in on the river.rei signo said:
No you did not flop a set of 4s. You flopped nothing, which is why, you ended up losing the hand.rei signo said:
It was just a bad bluff and a good call.rei signo said:
Hard to say what other people would do. But this opponent was a good hand reader, and he was not money scared, so he owned you completely.rei signo said:
I just have a bad experience with GG poker; I win on other sites, but nothing ever goes right here. Sure, a lot more players start in a tournament — you have to win more flips and hold more hands to get into the FT, but I just can't. On other sites, I even won the CC freeroll several times, but here I don't even get to the FT. I may have won it once, but maybe the players here are so much stronger.
I also play on AOF; there the jackpot has not yet been paid in 55 thousand hands. According to the reggae, it is paid out 10-12k hand, although I play with a lot of sc linked cards.
I've played 1700 MTTs before; there's just more bad beats here, as if it deliberately favors the fish and the cards fall in their direction😀 But sooner or later things will turn for the better — I'm sure of that🙂
