What do you do, & why?

[gatso]

So chip leader with 1.1m has passed? He's first to act according to the order of stacks you give

In the context of the question, it's not relevant Rich.

I can't actually recall if the Chip Daddy had Passed UTG, or was BB. For the purposes of your thoughts, ignore him.

we can't just ignore the chip leader. either the only person who covers us has passed or they're still to act from the BB, these are 2 very different scenarios

In the context of the question, gatso, trust me, IGNORE the Chip Leader, it's got nothing to do with what happened, or, more importantly, why. Assume he's still in, if you want - it matters not to what happened next........

The hand was played a specific way, for a specific reason - one that I'd never heard before. It seemed to me to be very educational, hence the Thread. Hero is, by the way, a very successful Pro, so I thought it worth chewing the cud on the hand. Everyone who saw the play was "surprised", & nobody at the venue guessed correctly as to why he played it as he did.

Almost everyone, by the way, is wrong as to what he done. One Poster is very much on the right track, though he does not have the right (or more correctly, actual), reasons.

Think outside the traditional box.

So he didn't fold, call or shove???

Does this mean he min raised? isn't that tantamount to shoving tho?

I never said that James. I said "almost" everyone got it wrong, as to what he done. "Why" is more important though.

[MC]

Lol ok hehe

Barry must be right when he said folding then? I'd be interested to know why he mucked here if that's the case...

[gatso]

shortstack accidentally showed QQ to hero?

I'm well confused

[kukushkin88]

So we've established he folded, I'm looking forward to the reveal. Tony do you think hero misplayed the hand?

[mondatoo]

Did he pass due to the fact he's pos 50/50 with 100k and the calling range of both other smaller stacks are bigger pp only thus he determind it was a fold

+1 At being well confused lol

[Laxie]

Flat call in hopes that either

A) the other shorties would attempt a push after, which I'm deffo calling

or

B) if there are any other flat callers, it'll be checked down (if there isn't a monster made hand with the board) in hopes of knocking out the all in player and jumping up the pay ladder.

Sigh.....

1) Read the thread properly James!

2) Think outside the box. Our man did.

Everyone seems fixated by "Raise to isolate". Why?

I'm not saying his play was good, or bad. But I thought the logic behind it was interesting, because it's sometimes useful to challenge traditional thinking.

No we have NOT!

Where did I say that?

And you, of all people - the only one who, so far, has even remotely got the right idea.

If we were judging now, you'd be outright winner. You, & you alone, are on the right lines.

[tikay]

So we've established he folded, I'm looking forward to the reveal. Tony do you think hero misplayed the hand?

Absolutely, guaranteed, NOT.

But I'd never have played it that way, nor, I suspect, most (all?) others. Which is why I Posted it.

I was watching it with a good friend of his, who completely misread the coup. We all did - except our man.

And watch what you say, because I am going to ask him to comment on the Thread, later.

[kukushkin88]

My apologies Tony, I thought because of the only one person has it comment, we must be passing. I'm much happier if we're calling. I can't really think of an additional reason beyond the fact that this is the only way we get chips out of the players still to act if they have worse hands, if they are ahead of us the chips are going in anyway.

[Maxriddles]

Does he flat in the hope of encouraging a push from one of the other stacks that he has covered?

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Level?
