Poker Addiction



Recently I found I grew more addicted towards Poker, as some of you whom are aware how the game Texas poker is being played for the beneficial of the doubt each players are being dealt with 2 hold cards and a round of betting is to begin.
A player are given 3 options 1) Raise 2) Call 3) Fold, after the 1st round of betting 3 cards are being dealt by the dealer which are call "Community Cards" or also known as the "Flop" the commencing of second round of betting then begins from the small blind which is towards the right of the dealer same options are being given to each player once it ends the dealer would then burn a card and deal the 4th card which is known as the "Turn" same thing goes for the 3rd round of betting and then comes the "River" which is the 5th card which adds all up to 5 cards on the board the winner would be based on the best 5 card combination one can have. Here's a list of ranked hands can be found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_rankings

Live cash game at (tampiness) it was rather a last min thingy from my mate "Darryl" he was like "eh bro you wanna play some poker anot tampiness" and I was like oh okay why not man I was still recovering from the bad calls I made for the past few weeks was down for my first buy in and it just went downhill the term commonly used "on tilt".

Anyway it was my first time since I started playing poker with a group of strangers that I barely know, it was a micro stakes so you know I got nothing to lose so I went there and had my fun, but apparently I always felt even at small stakes level the players determine how aggressive the game will flow. You'll get to see alot of preflop raisers, playing their position, raisers raise 10x the big blind or even more. The table was aggressive and this guys are not you average joe players these dudes are here for some catch up time but no limit poker is considered high risk with high returns.

Couple of hands I manage to recalled I had pockets 9s I was 2nd last to act the dude raise on the button the rest fold to the guy on my right he calls I decided to reraise to the min. the button then call and the caller calls again. flop was T T Jack caller checks, i check button raise as usual with a value raise of 1/3 of the pot so caller calls i say hmm why not i call the turn was a T caller checks I check button check.

I was quite amazed with his check probably trying to trap or slow play his jacks so river came a King caller checks as usual because of his position I check button came in with a strong raise like over betting caller thinks and stop for like 2 mins before mucking the hand and it came back to me I did the same thing and was just curious if i should call that over bet I put him on T fulls with jacks and I was like hmm.. very tricky raise on the river than I decided to muck the hand and said well played he shows the bluff 6 2 off suit and i was like wow..

I wanted to find out what does he has and whispered to him, he told me he had pocket 8s wanted to call but because of I was still in the game he feared I had the nuts furthermore he had no position and I was like wow you will call him? he said yeah why not just that I'm afraid of you thats all.
It was quite a day manage to broke even after 4 buy in because of extreme aggressive play from the table and got like 3 bad beat enough to send me home haha oh well I've manage to grow in my poker knowledge
Cheers
