All about the clock.

That's why AK is fine to fold in this situation.  Same amount of BBs in an XXL probably never gonna be fine to fold unless you have a super solid read on the villain.

Totally, AK is slightly different. But was just an interesting question regarding those situations in general.

For example, UTG ships 8bbs, UTG+1 rehoves about double that, folds to me with AJ on the button, i sigh, say how much of a nit i am and fold. There im happy witht he decision, as nearly always im behind/ dominated by at least one. One of the guys questioned me and saud how can you fold ace jack, its a £25 comp, got to stick it in and gamble, this was level 3 i think, and i still had 80bbs. Still think its a fold regardless, at that stage, whether its an XXL ot the WSOP ME. Correct thinking or are other flicking it in there in similar scenarios, with similar holdings?

Almost always a Mistake to get 80 bigs in there with aj, regardless of buy in, surely?

I might be wrong, maybe more like 50bbs, the AJ was just an example, the discussion was that can you really fold that hand, when the av stack might be 20bbs in an hour. JUst an example

What very few people know about Verndog is that his strategy is to rofl it in all over the place, get lucky, win, and then slowly edit the story from things like "Got in a three way all in for 80bbs with AJ against utg and utg+1" to something like "Raise called with AA off 18bbs btn vs BB."

£7k says it works Wink

Also with regards to your guys discussion about buyin differentials i agree with gilly, it shouldn't affect people, but likely does.
Me personally id love to sit here and preach about how i'd play the same regardless, and while i would some of the time that some is not all, as it rightly should be

I think Verndog is awesome.  As it stands 2014 is Verndog 7000 - 0 Rexas.  Iceshade is gonna win the lot this year too.

Getting AJ in with 50 BBs and no history is probably more wrong in a £25 comp than at a $10/20 table with loads of history.   Even then they are still raising from UTG and UTG+1.  Blocker though.

First hand seems ok.

2nd hand i'm never folding, we're basically never crushed, decent % of the time we're 70%, also sometimes flipping obv. Probably isnt terrible folding here, but calling has to be standard. Its a live DTD comp, people just lose their minds.

Final hand is a clear fold pre. Flop cant be that bad i guess... but you shouldn't ever be seeing one.

Any argument for the fact that the "live DTD comp" happened to be a GPS? or would you say it's standardized?
