The 10+1's Just Keep Getting Tougher (No Content, Vaguely Amusing)

[Cry Me A River]

Really expecting a split pot here, hence the slowplay until the turn re-raise, hoping to keep the third player interested.... Did someone put something in the water? Oh, wait, it's Saturday, nevermind....

yee-haw.

I've been saving some HHs from the 11s to show people how nuts they are, to prove that A10 really does call all ins on level one. Stuff like that has happened so many times I've stopped doing it. I have one where this guy folds to my all in for 220 more preflop when he has 400 in. I'm BB of 200, with 620, I have TT, he minraises from the button, I put my last 220 in... he thinks and folds. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

Heh, heh, I play an even mix of 11's and 22's depending on bankroll (I withdraw fairly frequently) and game availability (Crypto) and I've not noticed any appreciable difference over the last 6 months or so.

The tourney I posted wound up head's up on level 3 (!) and lasted a total of 41 hands, key hand was hand 39. He bets too weakly to steal, doesn't make a continuation bet on the flop and gives me a free card, re-raises too weakly on the turn to push me off my counterfeitable OESD and then pushes with TPGK into a smallish pot. He'd done this repeatedly, pushing with what looked like top pair/middle pair type hands into smallish pots so I knew if I was a little patient I'd eventually smack him.

This is Crypto, starting stacks are T1500. Was expecting a long, drawn out head's up until he started the super-LAG act. Crazy man, crazy...

hey sponger,
i see the ebaums rerence, been to big-boys.com ?

[tminus]

nice one...i had a similiar situation today, i had been watching foe 'ADF37' and realized that he called plenty of raises with mediocre high cards and that his flop check was real. So I knew that his flop check this time around indicated that he wasnt holding a K or pair and slowed up a bit. Typically I would go all-in on 4th here but I thought he might reraise if I made it look a steal...sure enough
