Title: Top Bottom
Post by: MC on November 11, 2009, 10:58:08 PM
Is this a fist-pump shove or a tricky spot?

The guy who shoved had over aggressive stats, over 52 hands he was 38/23, I felt this contributed to the decision.

$6.50 buy-in perhaps is a factor as well (45 man tourney).

Damn, thought this thread was going to be about Shakira.

I lead out on the flop too, but you're definitely not laying this down here.  Shove it in and think of Shakira...

Problem is James he does this with hands ur crushing like AK, KQ, K10 J9, 108, possibly even spazzing a little with J10, JQ that we can't ever pass here. Sure sometimes we'll get shown KJ or 10Q  but I think we have to call quickly

Totally agree, but I'm not so much worried about the aggressive guy's single hand, but a combination of the three hands out there...

I am not sure I like completing here tbh, I know we are getting a million to one pre but it is not going to be easy to play post flop unless we make 2pr+ and I am not sure we are getting big enough implied odds for that.

I really don't think we need to flop the world to get paid in a $6.50 game. It's 100 chips into a 1200 chip pot in a game where our skills are light years ahead of our vacant headed oppos. Yeah MC gets paid, course he does. He gets paid like 100x what he invested. Now he can use those chips and his superior mad skillz to piss all over this game. Saving the hundo is correct at this level? Is it bollox. Oh and my valid contribution to this thread is don't call pre if you don't slam dunk a K-9 flop. That would be proper pointless.

So your getting your stack in with less than 2 pair against 3 oppos?

Personally I think saving the hundo isnt ovely important at this level, i just dont want to throw in 4000 hundos waiting for this to happen again.

We don't know we're gonna get 3-way jamming action post flop pre flop do we now. The hundo is just to see if any opportunities develop. Like I say we should be good enough not to spew our stacks away without a hand post flop, unlike our inferior oppos. We want to see flops against these guys to take advantage of that difference in ability. And the profits from this hand mean we can now afford to see flops in this spot until 2013.


Title: Re: Top Bottom
Post by: thetank on November 13, 2009, 03:36:24 PM
So we just totally ignore reverse implied oddaments.

The players may be shit, but we're hardly 100 big blinds deep and you're talking like they just have one card each. Over estimating one's post flop edge and playing too loose pre in these $6.50s can never be good. Most of the edge comes pre imo

It's hard to imagine what range it would be correct to complete with then. Every hand apart from pp's offer us only a small % of flopped success. And a super tight completion range doesn't seem right, or fun actually. Folding here is like looking out of the window when you were young and watching all the other kids playing in the snow. You have to stay indoors cos your mum said it was cold and you could catch some sniffles.
