Dinner break. The hand vs Alexander was..

He has just lost a big band to put him down to 37,500. I raise J7643 UTG1 to 8,500. He shoves. Its very close between

1) fold
2) call and draw
3) call and pat.

I think it's just about a call, at better than 2 to 1. He has played quite splashy, and seems the type of player to go all in light after losing a big pot. If a one card draw is 9864 or better and a pat hand is T8742 or better, then he has the one card draw approximately four times as much. He may not go all with all one card draws, however. If I call and draw, I have the disadvantage of a gutshot to make a useless straight.

I think it's a call and pat. It's horrible if he pats behind - I am almost definitely dead, but it feels like he will draw about 2/3rds of the time, which will make me a 7/12ths favourite.

He does sadly pat, and has 97632.

This is feeling exciting, feeling very lucky to be here and in amongst it all. Its felt quite possible to hit the relaxed but excited mode when playing. We play down to 7 tonight.

Out in 13th.

I had 50k and moved in at 5kbb vs HJ open to 12k with 9832x. He tanked and called with J963. I think it's close but I think its a ropey call tbh.

I Drew first and it wasn't good. An ace.

Still hope. He will pair or catch an ace about 35% of the time. He catches a king

Alot of fun. Gutted. Its been alot of poker. Tomorrow:poker.

Out of interest..how do you like this game versus all the others ? And we'll done,  great read.like others have said..good learning experience..thanks

[easypickings]

Cheers guys.

Nirvana in the terms of the games - the easy answer is that this may well be the best value event. Well, it's at least up there with the $ 1500 dealers choice. It's definitely a contender for the most fun too. Seven handed, such a pure mix of luck and skill- the luck element obvious when it comes so often down to the drawing of one card, and the skill element strong with alot of maths involved, and a variety of opportunities to bluff. Mostly though, it's a game that almost no one knows how to play properly. I've definitely seen the standard improve over the years, but there is a real feeling of people trying to work it out as they go along.

Sighs UL Ronald.

Out ot interest, going Pleno on you for a second how much is your timing a factor in tbe Jason Alexander hand?

If you tank-pat are you more likely to get a T to pat behind and likewise more likely to get a draw if you snap? Or is this so obvious that its better just taking same time every time?

I wonder with a player like him if a snap pat might have been more likely to induce? Obviously doesnt matter when he has his hand as hes never breaking it right patVpat?

Love following these random games!!

Cheers.. thanks. It's the high level of luck element that makes these single draw games such a mystery to me..especially as I haven't yet developed the skill element related to betting in these games. I play micro stakes in mixed games and love it but have avoided the single draw games for a while so this probably stimulates me to try again

solid run. was so confused by the random omaha hi lo chip count in between the deep run and thought we'd busted and we hadn't reported it   

so early in the series. let's make it a long thread.
