Not only a gutshot but a double gutshot. Plus overcard.

Oh crap. You're absolutely right - terrible fold by me on the turn, though I still think I should have folded the flop.

FWIW I have seen the checkback flop/raise turn as a bluff sooo often lately. I used to just level myself into figuring that they'd never bluff that way... but bad players just think about the game differently.

Of course they also do show up with top set and stuff too.

Kind of agree with this, though I don't know how these limits play. Sometimes it's a free showdown raise because they don't know what they are doing. Or a picked up draw. I do agree it's generally not a random 8 high hand taking this line.

Also, related to a different hand, I think overly tight players tend to 3barrel unimproved overcards more than you think, either because they don't really know what they are doing (as evidenced by how tight they are to begin with) or because they get positive reinforcement from the times that they do get folds (either thinking they are bluffing or just happy to win the pot and not realizing check/call is better if they have the best hand).

What did you mean by "extended blind steal"? What is your reasoning for opening here?

Seriously guys, how can no one have said anything about the KTs hand at the end yet?

You guys kinda got into every angle of it hehehe.

I gotta say Im kinda with pygmy on that hand though, theres so many turn cards we hate and very few we like. Albiet the metagame aspect is important too - just perhaps not at that level.

To me, and Im probably wrong, I think that flop hit villian hard, either he set up, had the FD or SD (I believe there was an SD on the flop).

The raise, call 3!, donk flop line is usually "I hits a set with my middle pockets or FD" in low stakes.

i can't fold here. I would change my mind if you were to come up with a realistic range for this guy and stove it with numbers that lean toward a fold.

I think your time stamp is wrong.

I think I was talking about the table and the right, where I had several very tight players to my left. So by extended I basically mean I'm stealing from earlier and earlier positions since I think they'll fold so much.
