r/poker

On the turn I announce all in and move a stack of chips into the pot

The dealer announces all in and villain throws in $300 he has about $1100 back and I cover

He asks how many times I put one finger up indicating once

The river comes out and dealer announces show down I show my hand and now the player starts protesting that he didn’t know it was all in

-

The floor who was on shift change came over and said it is all in and the bet stands

- then the floor whose shift was just starting came over and announced he could forfeit the $300 he put in on the turn ( which called the all in)

Despite the first floor and dealer ruling some reason the second floor insists he is forfeiting the $300 and that decision stands

Despite everyone on the table saying it was all in, the dealer, and second floor

Can I contact gaming commission over this ? What are my options ? If I have any

like one minute ur feelin cute stackin chips n running the table then suddenly ur staring into space after 3 bad hands in a row
poker rlly knows how to humble ppl lol

Josh Arieh said this on Twitter:

"There is nothing wrong with going broke. It’s happened to nearly all the best players in the world.

The problem is STAYING broke.

Make good decisions, keep your word, pay your debts, help your people out when you’re running good.

Those people will be there for you when you need them.

Don’t be ashamed of GOING broke. Figure out the why and fix whatever needs to be fixed. You’ll be pumped up in no time."

Chris Brewer disagreed

"You and I could not be more opposite on this. I think the number one thing people should never do is go broke, and chance of running hot enough to spin it up again is way too low. Is so much better to have too little of a big win than too much of a big loss."

I'm definitely with Chris on this. But it does feel like, especially with variance, that's how a lot of the "big names" got to where they are.

Especially if you're young, should you exercise good bankroll management and slowly build or should you just take big shots and not worry about going to $0?

So the details: I'm playing live poker, two new people joined. I was LJ preflop, and he was BB if I remember correctly, I bet 5 bb, he called. The flop was J77. He bet 20bb, and I was all-in with 100bb, he called, A7s. Since I saw him bet 20bb preflop too often and call big bets, I thought he was just bluffing. Was that cooler, or was I wrong? I wouldn't have shoved against a tighter player, i would have fold if i see he play like others.

Dealer initially heard all in. Thinks he heard "all in" somewhere else as well.

I strongly suspected quads so I was gonna take the hit and add 150 more.

I would have $220 left over.

I will be clear next time but it fucking hurts that I was ganged up on and I lost in the incident. Head floor made the decision.

I asked floor to look at the cameras. Floor acted like I was stupid. Though they would be able to see my tongue

After I said "CALL", villain quickly assumed I said all in and said call and flipped his hand.

Just venting. Say something. Anything.

Next time I will move slow and be fucking clear.

I wrote about the dealer in my post yesterday. The short story is that two new people joined the table. I had AA, I went preflop all-in, and after one of the new players said he was trying his luck, the dealer started saying out loud that I had folded everything up until now and only played with really good hands, and to be careful with me. But the story also includes that the dealer dealt cards before we both showed our cards, and after told me to show my cards. And the other player just folded without showing them. I accidentally learned about this rule today while talking to the AI.

What was insane was that later when I won a pot of almost 400bb with my QQQAA, the others said that the dealer brought me luck, that I should give her a tip.

There was another case where I was shoving on the flop with my short stack and one of the players asked me what you have? QQ? I smiled and said maybe. He got upset and said "well, you have to show it anyway". I feel like I'm going to have conflicts if I start playing more actively and especially if I'll be successful. How do I handle this? Floorman? And if he doesn't do anything?

Hi there! 23(M) and I work at a casino as a cage cashier. I’m allowed to play poker since it’s not against the house and I’ve taken a very big interest into the game. I am still extremely new, only playing on the WSOP mobile and PC version, and wondering what are considered the “fundamentals” of poker, and how I should go about learning all of these different topics. I’ve only been at this for a little over a week but I eventually want to get enough knowledge to go play live 1/3 as a hobby that I could hopefully profit from but just help as to finding out what’s right to start learning at such an early stage of my journey! Any and everything helps!! Thanks so much in advance!!

Each player gets 3 hole cards, and the board has a total of 6 cards dealt with a normal 3 card flop, but an extra card on the turn, so 3-2-1. Players can make hands using either 1 or 2 hole cards, but not none or all 3.

I don't know if anyone's come up with this before, or if I just made it up. And if so, does it have a name, and what is it? If not, do you have name suggestions?

I'll be playing with 100BB. The stacks are on average 300-400BB. I will play based on the preflop chart. I thought I wouldn't play a range wider than the preflop chart and would narrow it down based on stack size. For example, if someone only has 100BB or less and they bet 10bb or more, of course I would be very careful with that. What size pot should I consider shoving? For example, if I'm BTN or SB with AJs, UTG has betting 10bb, and 3 people have called, is that 40% of my pot, is it a shove, and if i am BB, just call? And what if UTG only bets 5bb and 3 people call, then I raise 20bb, and if I missed the flop, then check/fold? And if, for example, the flop is a rainbow (unpaired, no flush or straight chance), then if everyone checks, what should I do? Bet 30BB? If there is a chance of a straight or a flush, then shove (they will call if they have flush or straightdraw, they love these cards and usually playing with these)? If the flop is paired and there are 4-5 people playing, should I fold to aggression? Yesterday I lost my 100BB, I had QQ, I bet 5bb from LJ position preflop, the flop was J77, the BB donkbet 20bb, and I shoved, he had A7s. I rebuyed 100bb and made it almost 400bb, I played very cautiously with this stack and finished the game with 367bb (167bb profit). I played for almost 6.5 hours, this was my third time playing live poker.

I ran into a dude that was wearing his circuit ring… just wondering what you would think if you came across this?

I am looking for opinions

Hi all,

I buyin for the max to these games.

I just lost $100 to a OMC playing AJ (I raise $15, two callers) on the button, OMC just calls with AK. I bet $25 on A-x-x board (two clubs) and OMC jams. Now I’m priced in to call and lost to his AK.

These OMC with min buyin $100 stacks, and only play super tight ranges.

How do you profit off them in the long run? Or just avoid these games?

So I went to play poker again today. Two new people joined, I bet5bb, he reraised 20bb, and I shoved. After he called, the dealer said and pointed at me that I only play with the strongest hands, be careful with me. Later, she commented on my actions, when I was bettubg ir raising, she told the others that I must have very strong hands. I should have reported this to the floorman, right?

As for the players, many don't attack eachother with bet if they have the nuts and know they will win. And a 5x bet isn't enough, because 3-4 people usually call anyway. I've noticed that they call with flush and straight draws, and they bet after the flop. They don't even consider their position, they donk bet if they have chance for flush or straight, and sometimes they bluff with trash hands (many still show their cards).

About the players, many don't call each other after they have the nuts and know they win. And a 5x bet isn't enough, because 3-4 people usually call anyway. I've noticed that they call with flush and straight draws, and they bet after the flop. They don't even consider their position, they donk bet if they have something, and sometimes they bluff (many still show their cards). What would be a good plan? If I have a strong hand, should I bet 10x preflop? Should I play with 500bb tomorrow instead of 100? Today my profit was 167bb, I played for 6 hours and 20 minutes. Tomorrow there will be a badbeat event, so they will play completely differently, last time I played at such an event and a lot of people limped and only 3x betted.

There is another poker room where there are usually fewer people, but they play much more aggressively. However, the dealer is nice, the players don't talk to them badly, they don't comment on the game, there is no jerk toxic talk, maybe should i go there?
