My biggest pot

So I’ve recently been taking some shots at $200 NL. This is the biggest pot I’ve been involved in. I had been playing for my lunch hour and was about to go back to work.

BB had picked up some large pots with big hands that got paid off and was playing his stack. No real read on MP1.

Note: This is on a site where the “bet pot” button is used as a default often by weak players/lazy players/players who don’t know how much to bet.

Any comments on flop/turn play?

  • probably should raise more preflop with the limper... to $10 seems right... i prolly raise on the flop because of the club draw... other than that nice turn and NH.

    What's up with the hand history? It would make sense if it was the BB showing 22.

    Nice pot.

    What limper? Hero is your favourite poker phrase... UTG

  • I would have raised more preflop - but other than that - you were right to just call the $24(although you may not have known that at the time) since you were well behind a set of 2s.

    That turn saved your ass - may have been tough to lay that down without an Ace on deck.
  • vn pot indeed wtg! The pocket 2s musta been devastated in the end
  • I'm more of a small-timer... I've only been legal to gamble for a month and a half anyway and I'm the stereotypical broke college student. The biggest pot I've ever been involved in was just about $70. Went all-in with 2 others when I was a big favorite and lost.
  • ill agree with the other guys. the only thing i would of done different was raise more preflop because id rather win the blinds then get my huge hands cracked or busted.

    other then that nh and sweet pot:)
  • I've been in a pot for 200$ where i had a boat and the guy had ace high

    he hit runner runner for 4 of a kind with a high kicker
