Has anyone else noticed the striking trend of no one folding these days? I don’t know if I’m just playing terrible players, or they are just this LAGTarded.
Here’s the one that sticks out in my mind:
I’m UTG and get pocket aces. The blinds are 15/30. I limp in with my aces. It folds all the way around to the button, who raises it to 90. The SB calls the 90 and the BB folds. I reraise it up to 270 (I limped UTG and then 3bet into 2 people, hint hint). The button folds and the SB calls the 270.
So I’m putting the SB on 10+ and AQ+. This is early in the tournament so we both have average stacks. The flop comes 57K all hearts. The SB bets out 660 into me. I’m thinking this guy hit his King (possibly holding AK). If he had something stronger (like trip Ks), surely he would check to the person who 3bet preflop. I push over the top of him with all of my 1300-some chips. He calls.
Now that he calls, I’m thinking, “Okay, he has trip Kings.” What did he turn over? 78 of hearts for a flush. I was drawing dead after the turn. This guy called an UTG limp/3bet with a 78 of hearts. It’s no wonder why it’s so hard to win an MTT these days because how can you dodge these donk bullets for an entire tournament?
