The biggest pot I've gotten involved with.
in Online Poker
This happened a couple weeks ago, I don't usually go up this high but I caught some really loose folks giving their money away and jumped in. By this time, I'm just about ready to pack it in...
Villain seems to be doing well as I watch him multi table in 6-8 spots and always be above max buyin. After 1569 hands, 15.1/12.2/3.9

HERO calls with a sick feeling
Is the call right, is there any way someone should fold this in this situation? Or do you accept larger boats, quads as an inevitability and must absolutely call. What if villain had another $2000 behind and pushed it all, I'm not sure I could make that call, even with this call I was still up two buyins if I lose. That's probably some poor thinking, but stepping up can be too heh.

Fold somewhere around here.
Curious to this comment, does it have to do with the cards or more about my ability to play this hand due to my feelings presented in my post and the $$ involved, which I think I can understand.
Anyway, he mucked :as :ac -- Maybe he put me on :ad :8d and thought he could get me afraid of the four flush.
I was more just curious if everyone here will put in all their money to the low boat and always accept that there are times it will be beaten.
Forget this quote, this guy is a complete A******. He craps on everyones game, can't shake hands when he loses in a heads up match only to come back 5 minutes later because he realized he was being a dick.
As far as the hand goes you have to call and you have to call, if you wrong you will have to start rebuilding your bankroll.
Prophet :2h :2s
Edit, just though of one more that beat you and could fit with his play, 10/10, I still call though.
Yeah I was thinking that's the point he was trying to make, or even moreso, the mere fact I am questioning such a call means I shouldn't have even been at the table in itself. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with calling a preflop raise with 22 5-handed.
Obviously I had some fortune and a few donators that night though and was able to cash out a pretty nice cheque and go back to 3/6
I think in retrospect I probably looked pretty weak here due to my not wanting to lose everything I made and not being comfortable. That threw off villain who had no idea I had a boat with my little bets and in the end that paid off for me.
Prophet, when people tell you 'never change', they don't mean mentally.
