Damn, I thought I was better than this, but I still let tilt get the best of me today. Finally had an encounter with the kind of penny stakes fish that used to drive me insane online. One guy raised 74s utg, called my 3bet preflop, then 3bet the flop after I tried to steal it from him and showed a pair of 7's on an Ace high flop after I folded. I didnt feel outplayed, but more like he's just insane since I hadnt had any run in's with him to date. I start 3betting him every time he raises with limited success. A few folds here and there but mostly calls that I kept having to lay down on the most random of fucking boards that he just wouldnt go away on. I chip him up at least $300 before the inevitable happens.
Reg: $2700
Hero: $1100 (As8s)
Reg: BTN raises to $20
Hero: BB raises to $75
Reg: snap calls
Flop: 624ss
Hero: bets $110
Reg: snap calls
Turn: 624Tsss
Hero: bets $315
Reg: snap calls
River: 624TTsss
Hero: tank jams for effect
Reg: snap calls
Reg shows T6hh for a runner runner boat. This is what used to drive me to punching monitors back in the day. You just attack and attack and attack some insane fish and when you finally hit that pivotal moment where you're both deepstacked, they fucking hit a miracle one last time. I even commented on it earlier after he kept beating me with his dog shit hands that "we're gonna get into it eventually I know it buddy!" He eventually left and I got moved to a table full of black guys. That didnt go well. Got shoved on twice preflop by rags and lost, and got a guy to call $50 pre with 52o and $150cbet on a gutshot and get there.
Day1: -$40
Day2: $970
Day3: $190
Day4: -$1700
_____
Total: -$580

I dunno why you think its a good strat to start 3betting him a ton with hands that you have to give up later. Like that A8s oop I would say is a pretty big mistake to 3b instead of just calling. |

No idea why you're bloating the pot oop with A8. Doesn't seem like anything other than tilt/personal vengeance against this fish. |

Thats all it was. I mean part of me wants to say that I know he's raising light so I should exploit that by coming over the top. I guess I could just call a lot, but seems like any time I turn up the heat it's going to be obvious I hit. If I keep 3betting him then my 3bets are as worthless as his preflop raises, which means we are just playing bigger pots on the flop which stand a greater chance of an allin when one of us does hit. I assumed I would hit better than him on a regular basis. But I was definitely doing it out of pride/anger than direct exploitation. That and I was on my 5th drink, something I havent done at poker in a long time. Think I'll lay off the alcohol for a few days and see if that helps. |

you can raise him light IP (although u shouldn't forget about the other players at the table), OOP you should prob raise HUGE with good value hands to punish his light calls, and be calling a lot with good middling hands like A8s
also what stakes is this? can't tell if he minraised pre or not |
