yea but this was in the middle of the hand... i think it was allowed because they were heads up
i'd say it was a breach of basic etiquette - if you're not in the hand, don't discuss it at the table at all.Sim0n said:Another etiquette question:
Live game. I'm out of the hand. I make a comment about what another player is holding. I'm guessing (obviously). Afterwards, he tells me off for giving away his hand and costing him some winnings.
Was I in the wrong? I think it would have been OK if I'd been involved in the hand - trying to work out what he's holding from his reaction to my comments, a la Dan Negreanu. But given that I was out of the hand, was it a breach of etiquette?
Sim0n said:A3, because I've got the nut flush draw. The only hand I have to fear is someone holding 36 hitting a 5 (not the 5D) to make a straight and counterfeit mine.
Any D hits: I win with the nut flush.
5 hits, I win with the straight unless someone has 36. In which case I punch them in the nuts for playing a hand like that.
Ace hits, I may have the best hand but I play cautiously.
Nothing hits, there's still a chance that my A high is good. I don't bet out unless I have a sure read that people will fold, but I might take the hand if everyone checks.
Whereas with 35, I have a better chance of hitting the straight, but I might hit the flush and still lose to someone playing Ax suited.
Love to hear what others think.
Sim0n said:My own question:
What do you guys think about limping with monster hands? I always thought it was a dumb idea, but the last game I played I had separate players limp with KK and AA. The AA was especially strange as it was a short handed table (down to last 4, 3 get paid) and the blinds were quite high (it was basically me and this guy battling to make the money).
Does it make sense to you to limp in that situation? I'd have been pushing the money in and hoping to get a caller....(I had about 6x the BB and he had about 8 x BB. I limped in the blind with T(, hit the T on the flop and bet out, and of course AA held up).
it's really hard to answer questions like this without knowing how many players, what's gone, etc.zzITCHY420zz said:flop comes 9c, 2d, and 4d.
which hand would u prefer? ace of diamonds and a 3 of diamonds, or a 3 5 of diamonds?
