Happy Hour hand number 2 ... the resteal

[Jurollo]

Villian is a solid player, capable of this steal, anything less than pushing short changes this move so it is fold or push. Thoughts on the steal? We are 6 till the bubble and I was a hair over average.

Not that I need to tell you, but that's the danger of restealing with hands like that, the times you're called you're beat pretty bad.

that said, I'd probably do the same thing, and then look back and decide that I could have waited.

well a couple things about this hand
first looking at the amount he raised 700, 3.5x bb
...hmmmm looks like he really doesn't want any action
...hmmmm woulda good player know to make it look like this, because he knows a capable restealer is in the blinds?

with this size of the raise, i am def restealing with KQ right here.


oh and i forgot unless he has AA or KK, you still have 3 outs /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Yea just seeing what people said, I am all about trying to tighten up my game at the moment and discussing plays like this help that. Ended up going out in 22nd after stealing a few times and doubling up once. I will have this and a few other tourney summaries posted on my web site in a couple days for anyone interested.

See, i think this is a much better example of a resteal..

Oh, and converter didn't want to put in the preflop action.. maybe i screwed something up? or maybe this converter isn't quite fixed?

[LethalRose]

its worked fine for me for poker stars, did you select 2+2 as the format?

[Exitonly]

Yes.

[LethalRose]
