Rivered!!!!! Can I really call with a set?

That's it!!! I'm putting on the tin foil hat tonight. This is really, really ridiculous. To begin the session within just the first 15 minutes, I lost 4 pots to runner, runner flushes which definitely put me on tilt which led me to one of my biggest tilt calls ever.



This was your typical Maniac and was hitting... First let me give you of the kind of things that was happening to him..

CO: $287.40
BTN: $387.20
SB: $200.00
Hero (BB): $392.00
UTG: $267.00
UTG+1: $332.45
MP1: $55.30
MP2: $392.40

Pre Flop: ($3.00) Hero is BB with 7c 2c
4 folds, CO raises to $4, 1 fold, SB raises to $14, 1 fold, CO raises to $24, SB raises to $59, CO calls $35

Flop: ($120.00) 4h 4s 3d (2 players)
SB checks, CO bets $120, SB raises to $141 all in, CO calls $21

Turn: ($402.00) Ad (2 players - 1 is all in)

River: ($402.00) Qd (2 players - 1 is all in)

Final Pot: $402.00
CO shows Ac 4d (a full house, Fours full of Aces)
SB shows Kd Ks (two pair, Kings and Fours)
CO wins $399.00
(Rake: $3.00)


So here is my tilt call hand..

Hero (SB): $200.00
BB: $200.00
UTG: $401.50
UTG+1: $35.40
UTG+2: $406.00

Pre Flop: ($3.00) Hero is SB with 6d 8d
UTG calls $2, 2 folds, MP1 calls $2, 3 folds, Hero calls $1, BB checks

Flop: ($8.00) 6s 8c 3c (4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 bets $4, Hero raises to $12, BB folds, UTG folds, MP1 calls $8

MP1 shows 3s 5c (a pair of Threes)
Hero shows 6d 8d (two pair, Eights and Sixes)
Hero wins $401.00
(Rake: $3.00)

So that one actually worked out... from there the bottom fell out and I found myself down over $500. I was able to make up half of it; but that was it.

Here is the hand question of the day...

Villain is 13/11/14 over 313 hands.

River aggression is inf over just 15 hands.

CO checks, Hero bets $20, CO requests TIME, CO raises to $58, Hero calls $38

River: ($151.00) 4s (2 players)
CO requests TIME, CO bets $126 all in, Hero ???

Can I call getting about 2.2 to 1?

Here is another short list of feel my pain hands... Again, alot were misplayed; but it is what it is... I'll try to keep the list to 5 or fewer; but I have sooo many to choose from.

First 2 hands are against the same maniac from above whose stats by thew way were:

97/41/4.1 over 29 hands...
3bet 16.7

Of course he left after those hands with a huge stack.

Will-
Some of those hands, you're acting like a calling station. I understand you're trying to set up a big hand, but you need to raise that up. Not saying that the outcome would have changed, but you certainly would have gotten your money in good at least.

Hand in question:
I think you're missing a key piece of data in here: Attempt to steal %. In light of that, I'm going to assume he was not stealing & give him a "normal" 13/11 range. Is a 13/11 villain raising J8? Probably not. Is a 13/11 raising QQ? Yes. KJ? Maybe (depends on steal %). Is a 13/11 raising AA, KK, AK, JJ, 99-55? Yes. You can also add in QT for the raising range if he's stealing.

Moreover, you have severely underrepresented the strength of your hand. I don't think he's pushing on the river unless he puts you on a hand that is marginally calling down (KQ, QJ) which he thinks he beats and will get you to call.

It seems there are FAR more hands that he PF raises with which you beat, than are beaten by. If he has a set of Queens or KJ, then gg - you got coolered. However, I think I call here.

I don't see how you can possibly fold in your hand question. You've got the huge set and only a very unlikely inside straight beats you. Have to call, it's not like we're talking about 5000 big blinds here.

I folded. It's funny how everything is going bad, you can't always make the right decisions in fear of losing even more.

Flop: ($15.00) 7h Qc Ts (2 players)

---Right here, why just flat call? Any 2 cards that are suited or close enough to form a straight, a pair, or suited, present future problem. You are ahead here and should BET. Imo.

Turn: ($35.00) 9h (2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $20, CO requests TIME, CO raises to $58, Hero calls $38"
Here is that danger card, 9h. Now 2 hearts on board, and 7 x 9 10 x Q making 6 8, J 8, or J K already a straight.
You bet 20, and he thinks and reraises you. You're beat. Maybe closer to pot size bet?

I learned this the hard way, from people chasing flushes and straights, etc and losing. Sticks in your memory.
Now that I am charting, I'll compare what I *do* win from what I "could" have won but lost trying to build a pot. ;)
