Please tell me why bother ???????

[outlaw1966]

Like i'v already said there is no reason to bet......people have different views of how to play the hand but i totally agree with stjimmy when he said there is no reason other than they can...the chips are free so nobody really loses but its all down to luck on the day because its not real so people bet on any hand.
I was short stacked and i would have played the hand same way on money side but would a player still bet if there was real money on the table ?.
There is no donk play here its just because its free chips so people think why not.....the free side is fun but i don't believe its a true poker experience unless you have alot of money and can afford to bet or raise when you have maybe cards.

I still disagree Jazz The 5x raise really gave away loads of strength (pair) and the shove on a dry board even more. And even if M put him on nothing, Outy's nothing would have M's nothing crushed. Just doesnt make sense...

m8s,if you playing on the free chips table,expect to have a free chips call..cant even compare it and put it against a money table..i would never play the same way as a money table game as in a free chip table..Moreover regardless of anything,i think we all play the player,we know each others games.Outy is a solid player hes not raising or going all in for shits and giggles,i can say that with authority..nevertheless depending on the situation in hand,i.e..my chip stack,or opponents chip stack..i could even think hes not got a very strong hand as he didnt go all in..i mean the variants and the permutation and combinations are so many at that time,vis a vis to players,chip count,bb,sb,etc..everybody plays it diffeently..M is a solid player as well,if i take the flop out of the equation it was JK v/s JQ..i may have made the call M made in all probabilities..then again its also how M assess Outys game plan...really cant compare it to real money situtations..tell me really do you play your hands here the same way real money would be played...certainly not..nevertheless,this is just my opion...

Interesting analysis and discussion.

I see several possibilities:

1. I had to pee and just called and ran for the bathroom.
2. I hit the wrong button
3. Just because people make a big bet doesn't mean they have a hand
4. Lots of people overbet AK. Which is probaly what I had u on.
5. As far as playing differently on real money - I guess by most definitions here only those who have a lot of money would win. Not valid
6. I am on the free tables because I play for the company. I don't know how many chips I have, I don't know how many points I have, and I don't know how many medals I have.
7. I may have made a bad call but it was no worse than your bad bet.
8. When you consider that 22, 44, 66, 24, 26, and 46 had you beat on the flop you made a very bad follow up bet.
9. If I folded every time someone raised or make a large bet I would lose every tournament.
10. IT'S ONLY A GAME !!!!!!!!!!!

You all may take this more seriously than I do. I usually play most every hand and I try to change the way I play. I have a lot of respect for OP66 players on the free tables as well as the money tables. I think you (Outlaw) are a very good player but in the end it is entertainment to me. I do not analyze every hand or maybe any hand. I don't fold to people who think they can buy the game by making a big bet. The rule that you fold when someone makes a large follow on bet give the game to anyone who makes a large follow on bet. Doesn't work for me.

Disclaimer: Making light of this serious analysis is in no way meant as disrespect for those posting on this thread.

Great post M

[outlaw1966]

As I said M mate you called because you could no other reason..as it went your called worked well done.

I think people try to annilise the cards way to much , there wasn't any other reason than it's free chips and you could call and hope you hit.

Bit too much in-depth thinking on this one I reckon..
Strip it down...
It's a tale of 2 nothings
Outy raised with nothing... M called with nothing..
Outy went all in with a pair of jacks...M called with a pair of jacks...M won.
Happens all the time...

Happy new year all. P.

M well described your call m8,and exactly how i had put it that he put Outy on a AK hand..he definitely did not think you hit the flop with a preflop raise and low cards on the board....think all clear now...now you guys know how to play each other even better going forward...lmao!!!!!!!!!!!see you guys at the tables...
