Title: What goes through some people's minds? Post by: johnbhoy76 on July 24, 2007, 11:07:31 PM Just finished playing an MTT
and a hand from earlier in the tournament had me baffled blinds 15/30 and playing 9 handed UTG raies to 200 (which I thought was a bizarre raise to make) he has about 1800 chips A short stack moves all in for about 850 (Turned out he had 99) Then the small blind dwells up for a good while before pushing all in for about 1700 (turned out he had JJ) THEN the big blind instantly moves all in for about 1800 also (Turned out he had KK) back to the intial rasier who calls and turns over pocket 4's !! ;D Of cousre he hits a 4 and knocks out two guys and leaves another with about 100 chips of so. It is mind boggling sometimes the plays people make Title: Re: What goes through some people's minds? Post by: Newmanseye on July 25, 2007, 04:14:24 AM Standard value call...........
Title: Re: What goes through some people's minds? Post by: brado on July 25, 2007, 10:52:21 AM Value call. I saw one of these recently. utg raised to 3 times bb. mid pos tight player reraised about 3 times pot, pretty much committing himself to pot (had qq). I had kk and went all in. sb was short stacked and went all in (had jj).
The initial raiser, who has seen 2 big reraises from 2 tight players and has committed 10% of his stack, proceeds to call with 77. It's not a bad beat story... He lost and gets koed, but then starts moaning in the chat box about shitty pokerstars software and how it's a joke... I suppose he could have been up against ak, ak , ak....

It is mind boggling sometimes the plays people make This is something you often see. When someone raises like that from UTG it is a scared raise, they don't want to get called... In this case don't know why he called the allins though, he was definately behind..... Was it a $1 turbo?? Title: Re: What goes through some people's minds? Post by: BigTomatoes on July 25, 2007, 12:47:12 PM fair enough the SB and BB have a case for thinking they have the best hand but after that action the 44 should know he is well behind . was it a low stakes tourney ? cos sometimes you cant stop these muppet plays from players at a low level no matter how much you bet . |
