Sending your Ego from your Big Blind
Oh, don't say you don't do it... we all do. We are playing online poker and someone comes after our big blind...twice. You let your time clock run, knowing full well that you can't call his/her big pre flop raise. You think you're sending a message..."next time I'm calling your a**". Well, s/he pushes you again and again. Finally when you get fed up enough to call...s/he finally wakes up to a real hand.
The best time to send the message, if u think u are being "picked on", is as soon as possible. You just might get lucky enough to show everyone how you beat him with a mediocre hand from the big blind. The rest of the table might get the message and decide "I'm not getting tangled up with this nut".
Don't let em walk over you but make sure if you're going to take a stand, you're also prepared to take a walk.
AA versus DONK and Co.
There should never come a time in any poker game when a player looks down at Pocket Aces and gets a gut feeling of "defeated already", should there?
A pre-flop raise from the donkey under the gun and seventeen...well, five callers, each who want to bust that donkey out, will call.
You're in the big blind and you know as sure as there's dung in a burrow that you're re-raise will go unnoticed. What do you do? You know they all want to bust the donkey...
What do I do?
I close my eyes, take a deep breath and dive in...there's always another hand, another game...another donkey.
Somewhere along the way there's also bound to be another pair of Aces.
