Default Skalansky ... you owe me $5!

First hand, dealt 55, two call.

I push.

They both held pocket Aces.

So much for your all-in system, I want my $5 back!

---------------------------------------------------------

Actually, I have a question regarding your hand selection chart:

If the Key number is between 80 and 100 you recommend pushing with: Any pair, AK, AQ, KQ and ace suited and and no gap suited connector down to 54.

Shouldn`t AJ be included?

Thanks, also the charts I look at rank low (<10) suited (no and one gap) connectors quite poorly.

Why were they included.

Has any more work been done with your system since you modified it?

Thanks
Invader Zim

Default Re: Skalansky ... you owe me $5!

my guess as to why the low suited connectors are included is that they are the best hands you can have if your opponent holds an overpair. Say you knoew somone would call you only with AA, then it is clearly better to push with 76s than with aj, or even ak. If people start call in you with something like any 2 broadway cards then the suited connectors should probably be removed from your list of pushing hands. Also the system doesn't work as well when people call you with crap.

That system only has a chance in a big tournament where people care about trying to survive, not in $5 sit and go's where you can get into another one in 3 seconds if you get knocked out.

Default Invader Zim is never wrong.

FOOL!

Your earth thoughts mean little to ME! But I will amuse myself for MY benefit!

Zim has $5, and is sitting somewhere in the middle of the table with 55. Blinds are .25/.50 so ...

$5.00/.75 = 6.67

3 yet to call, two have.

6.67 x 3 = 20.01 x (2 + 1)= 60.03

I quote:

If the key number is between 60 and 80, move in with any pair, any ace, K-Q, any king suited, and any suited connector with no gap or one gap.

Zim will exact revenge.

Best
I.Z.

(all in good fun)
