Your move....2

[clayftknight]

I agree that stop and go would not work here.

I lumped it, he waited then called with KJo !!!!

And that is exactly why you have to move in, worse hands may feel they have to call for 2 reasons. they may feel commited and they may feel if they fold after raising 4xBB they will be run over every hand..............all hat and no cattle .

[AdamM]

same here as in number 1. you've posed a question then after a few opinions told us the 'right' answer.

[clayftknight]

Adam, if you feel that the all in here was wrong....convince me why, I'm open to new ideas.

If you feel my explanation as to why I did what I did is in some way encroaching on your right to have an opinion then I am sorry, but I feel it says more about you than it does about me...what do you think?

Easy folks, lets all hug one another.

Bollox to that actually, too hippy.

Lets start a big ruck instead.
I'll just watch, I've got a dicky chest at the mo, else I'd be right in there.

I dont want to get off on the wrong foot. all Im saying is it seemed like you have what you consider to be 'the right play' in mind when you post the situation. I talked about this in a recent stream about TV commentary. a players style determines what the right and wrong thing to do is in most situations as much as the maths do. some are bigger risk takers than others. because I'm a reletively tight player it means I have to avoid marginal situations and look for spots where Im a clear favourite. I get better at reading people for big hands (live this is) but probably means I get pushed off alot of hands where Im marginally ahead. There are players who splash about more early doors and buy themselves chips they can use in marginal situations or to use to push players like me off pots where they're a slight dog.

What I'm trying to say is horses for courses. phrases like "And that is exactly why you have to move in" dont take acount of the subjectivity of the game. (again this is live) but a stop and go from me is more likely to be successful than from the more aggressive player who's likely to get looked up more.

This is why I rarely get involved in hand analysis threads. I hate the idea of definitive right or wrong answers. there rarely is.

as I said, I dont want an argument about it.

I agree with Adam and clay and Tank and ...errrr....ME........and anyone else.

Now buy him a pint Clay and move on. Besides he has A guitar that is likely to wrapped around your head!!!!

as I said, I dont want an argument about it.

With you on this one Adam, there is no right or wrong in hand analysis, you could quite easily fold here if you wished..........
At the end of the day we (mostly) all have our own style and state of mind in particular situations, any decision here may be right and every choice you have could well be a huge mistake.
Everyones opinion is valid.
I'm allin BTW.................

[M3boy]

well said IFM - "there is no right or wrong in poker"

Certain circumstances very true - or depends on the table, the feel you have, and how much you wanna gamble

[clayftknight]

good post Adam

[Royal Flush]

There are some clear examples of when there is only 1 correct move.....

Anyway, i would re-raise but no all in, another 1200 to make it 2k total, it looks a lot stronger and he might then pass his mid pair. Also if he does decide to flat call you get the extra chance he might pass on the flop for the last 1k
