Couple of years ago live on TV in the BPO the button moves allin and I have AK in the BB- blinds were 2-4k. The button had maybe 50k in chips and I had about 90. I was quite happy with the table and I had gone in playing to a strategy of folding till the blinds get big giving an image of playing too tight then moving through the gears when the blinds got bigger nicking loads of pots without confrontation. I dwelled and decided to call anyway and was shown 8Th which flopped a str8. I was crippled down to 40k and had to change gears way earlier than I had planned. AK is not always an instacall.

After the heat I had a few people telling me they thought I was slowrolling by dwelling before calling and all that did for me was to prove how little people understood about the game. If it hadnt have been on live TV I would have probably folded the AK there and happily moved on with my plan for the heat. I allowed the fact that it was on TV to force me to make a call (what will people think if I fold AK here etc). There was only one player at the table I was worried about and he had lost most of his chips and was on the felt. I thought I could beat the table without risk so why risk getting unlucky when it is possible to just get the chips without risking real damage to your stack?

AK is just ace high at the end of the day and imo it is a raising hand and not a calling hand. When I won mad martys game a cople of months back I folded AK twice on the final table to allins before me- there was just no need for me to make the call either time. I would rather jam allin with junk than call allin with AK in a lot of circumstances. If I am calling someone allin I reserve the right to think about it first. If I take a little to long and upset the likes of flushy who will accuse me of slowrolling then so be it. Not of us can instacall throwing our cards over screaming "ship it hollla" etc

if your definition of grafting his brains out is giving somebody a few pointers when they first start out then I'm sure you have plenty success with the ladies

Thewy thanked me for some chats we had when he did his in the well thing a few months back- how come nobody accused me of trying to pull him? Doesn't mean I was mentoring the yoyo just because we talked a little game theory.

yeah..good thing he wasn't be sarcastic or I would have LOL'ed as well

Seriously, the discussion here surely was never offensive to Michelle or based on jealousy? This just happens to be a forum where people can say what they mean when discussing a hand, rather than being all nice and cooey wooey like the experts have to be when live on Skypoker.

...don't know why but it did.

[ariston]

we cant discuss a hand when it is just 2 lines of text from a live update. Nobody knows the full facts of the hand, stack sizes blinds etc. Nobody knows the table dynamics.

what they did know was that Michelle apparently dwelled for a while before calling someones allin with AK. This means she must be either slowrolling or dumb according to some posters on here but yeh you're right boldie people can say what they like on here. I agree with ed in the fact several on here seem to be jealous of anyone who picks up a sponsorship deal who they consider to be not as good as they are- maybe if they werent such **nts all the time they would have gotten a deal by now.

oooh go on - is it true that the yo-yo nickname actually has nothing to do with poker?

[George2Loose]

LOL This is comedy.

If you disagree with the dwell up then your jealous???

For me AK is a insta call. However, I am not criticising or indeed jealous of Michelle Orpe.

lolz she is sponsored as well!?!??!?!??

Russ i didn't realise you had such a super duper edge in a TV crapshoot that you can fold a like 60/70 edge for 1/2 your chips, there was me thinking you had to win loads of races in those things.

again you are showing a lack of knowledge for the full facts james. Everything isn't just black and white and there are grey areas. If I was to tell you there was a live in running market on the event and I had backed myself in from 7.6 into favourite for every ammount available it may make you think outside the box (when three handed I was trading at 1.8 ).
