Moved to this table about 10 minutes ago. Kerala seems tight but is limping a fair bit, haven't seen kruse82 play a hand since I got here. My image is pretty solid since I've only played a couple of hands so far.

all in ldo, the clue is in the name of the comp obv! ::)

I think you may as well stick in a raise to 4k and cover both Kerala and kruse.

A raise to 500 from ep after a min raise UTG when the guy only has 2.3k means there is a better hand than J-J out there imo.

yep 100% i just muck this.

lolol nits, get it in.

You are ahead of 10-10. The 2nd guy wont raise 500 here with 10-10. On top of that you have limping guy who is now min raising UTG. I don't like Jacks here. So Mantis the Nit it is. Fair enough i suppose. It feels ok though.

He would raise 500 with AK - which is one of his most likely holdings wouldn't you say?

Shove.

LOL

I just pop this to 1500. Which should work essentially the same as shoving.

if I'm in mp here I raise to 500 with a wide range as it scares the fuck out of nits and makes them pass JJ

Maybe. But if you look down and see 6-6 the wheels fall off this strat. If you shove 6-6 then playing J-J is ok I suppose. If you only play J-J because of the pictures then I don't like it.

gl with that, utg is 4b shoving a huge chunk and u cant call.

edit this is only interesting coz of position full ring obv.

With the stack sizes I'm probably shoving with 66 as well.  But I'm crap at tournaments.

i would isoraise 3bet to about 1400-1600. and call a shove from the utg min raiser

and what about the other guy? ur gonna cold 4b/fold?

gtfo. we are taking on the world yo

Yes, I can just picture you and Flushy standing right at the very front of the Titanic with your arms out-stretched shouting something like that. Wouldn't that be magical. But in reality I think getting involved here is a shipwreck. Ahem.

well when u 3b u will commited to call the other guy too. abit risky but thats what i would do

You would. But you also said TK's JTo play wasnt that bad. Please...

Well buddy I think I was wrong saying the play wasn't too bad. Upon reflection I think I love the way he played it. It's all very well saying it's push or fold like you've unearthed some magical secret, but considering this is how every average player would play the hand I don't think it's all that special.

Check it out.

Goodwin has slightly LESS chips than Tony.

Tony says.....Marc is far & away the best player of the three, and then goes on to say....If I Button-Raise, Marc flats it, then bets out - & I miss every flop. That is pretty interesting really. So Goodwin isn't using the push or fold mantra you suggest at all. But you think it's the only viable strat in this situation. Hmmm.

3 handed and deal done means that pre-flop pushes are carrying little FE. So Goodwin is doing a series of stop & go plays instead. Letting the raiser miss before betting at the pot. This approach carries much more FE, and of course you may hit yourself. If Tony is thinking of betting lots of different flops then the play is stylish imo. Much more sophisticated than spaz shoving really. Then when Tony does hit the flop he plays the hand perfectly imo. In fact seemingly in the very same way that Goodwin would. But p-lease and all that.

i fold here. Dont expect to see the 3better showing up with anything other than KK/AA here. If he has AK wow, youve missed a chance to flip for 30bb, no really tilt-inducing stuff. If he has TT or less then we have still made the right move long term so get over it yo.

srsly if clam says this is a fold, its a fold. weeeeeeeeeee was right in a tournament situation for once.

I folded. OR called the original raiser and CRAI-ed on a 9-6-3 rainbow board. RR, committed, called with A-K and OR had T-T. T-T held though I still think this was the bottom of their ranges and think I was right to fold, despite Rooks calling me an ubernit. :D

this is on crypto tho, they always min raise with AA.

pass imo

i'd fold in less than 2 seconds tbh

Just what i was about to say but i think this should only take 1 second, ur slacking moorman

Nah he is just muti table folding premiums, he is that good

He is just running lucky at the minute imo  ;whistle;
