How was this?
I will let the hand speak for itself but should anyone have folded to a huge $180 bet on that flop?

i'm a little drunk right now, but..
a) the hell are you hoping to hit calling with that hand in EP?
b) the hell do you think is going to call your flop bet?

We would have made over 80 bucks if we hit the flush. The point and concept behind the hand was for NOBODY to call. Not for four people to call which was a little much. The AA guy was WAYYYY behind when he called too. lol. Someone folded a King. It was a crazy hand. IMHO nobody should have called that bet. Let alone 3 peeps. Although I did disagree with Fluxer at the time of the play. Interested in opinions though.

Overbets look like bluffs to most of these low level players. Use the overbet when you have the NUTS not a draw. Several pieces in my blog on topic.
8:56 AM
Open push? What are you representing here? When was the last time you played 55 or 33 like this? I would guess never. Everyone with a better hand than you is going to call here. This is definately -EV.
9:45 AM
I'm not sure what you mean by, "We would have made over 80 bucks if we hit the flush."
You didn't even have the best flush draw. You were third of the three made hands and 2nd of the two drawing hands.
I'm sure you're point was to get everyone to fold, but that's the problem with these massive overbets with weak hands... you're only going to get called by hands that beat you (or in this case, a shortstacked player who suddenly has odds to call to the nut flush).
I would imagine these disasters with the "overbet for value" happen a lot more often than is posted by those who try it.

I think you made a big mistake on this play.
There are much better spots to try and make a move and with five players seeing the flop you are definitely going to get action from at least one, if not more.
You saw the flop and whiffed, if you get priced in to take a shot at the flush on the turn than maybe you stay, if not take the five dollar hit and muck.

Waffles, everyone here is wrong {sidenote, I'm wrong alot, so everyone may be correct via that double negitive thingy}, again you have proven that you will play any hand aggressively, You have us all set up now. Did this hand really happen, or are you setting/sinking the hook deeper.
P.S. you have also proven that you have some kind of distane for your money.

I don't know why everyone is criticizing this play.
He had to call pre-flop the first time because of the huge implied odds in playing 2d3d from early position and then he had to call the re-raise because he was getting almost 5-1 on his money, and you have to call any time you're getting 5-1, even if your equity is only ~6% or so. It's just a law, even if it doesn't make any sense mathematically.
The rest is just bad luck that all those stupid donkeys with better made hands and stronger draws called.
2:04 PM
Al.. Take out the A8d, which had no money and really should not have called. Anyway.. It was a weird hand and no way was it expected to go four ways.

Actually Wes, I would always play my set that way.. that is how I make money.. heh.

CJ. The nut flush draw had no money. If the flush hits we make eighty bucks on the hand. It was an interesting hand anyways.
2:09 PM
Ooh Sarcasm Scurvy! It becomes you. lol.
Anyway.. interesting feedback on a VERY interesting hand..

For the record, you were just 30% to win the side pots. And so you invested $183 to win $210 (the two side pots, right?). That's a less than 1 in 3 shot at a $27 profit but a 7 in 10 chance at losing $183.
If that's "mixing it up," I'll take my boring poker any day of the week.
Here's how I profit at the NL tables: win big pots but lose small ones.

"We would have made over 80 bucks if we hit the flush."
So, what hands are you putting any potential callers on before you shove?
This type of random "I don't care about the money" betting isn't optimal despite the excitement of the variance.
There's definitely validity in playing power poker but why not a check-raise and add some folding equity to the mix?
If you try to stack players with every bet you might as well go back to playing blackjack.

Thats not the idea Drizz.. I totally agree with you there..

I can appreciate what Fluxer was thinking behind the hand. His thought process is very logical. The only problem is that it doesn't work here. Theoretically, it is a good move because of his description on its face. You force out any weak hands, and only get called by a strong hand, which likely at the very least means your flush draw is live.
The problem is that it doesn't work. It might work some of the time, but you see the problem here. You get a shortstack who is going to call with anything playable. You got an AA in there that is going to call too. And here is the other issue. If you are worried about another flush draw, that means that 2 out of your 9 outs are gone.
So, theoretically, an interesting play. Practically speaking, though, it won't work, because the other players are not necessarily going to play into your theory.
In that regards, a lot of the comments are right about overbets appearing as bluffs, which further handicap this type of play.
Basically, there are just too many unknown variables for this play to be a winner overall. But I give you an A for effort.
