Gigabet's inspiration is not making me any friends (low content)

I love this play at a higher buyin (even just 20+2), but at the 10s you're often going to get someone calling because they think their pair of eights is the immortal nuts.

Is that really such a bad thing? He would be in a coin flip situation getting 2.5-to-1 for his money. If he wins, he has a huge stack. If he loses, I think he said he would have 1300 left with the big blind at 30.

The worst case would be that a stack who has him covered pushes. I think that is a tiny risk though since they all declined to re-raise when given the opportunity.

That's not to say that you can't make plays at that level, I'm just not sure that with five or so limpers/min-raise-callers is the time.

It is 10+1 in pounds so it's about $20.

ANd yes, i realize this is different from the "Gigabet Dillema" somewhat and that much of what he does will not work at all at the limits I play, that's why I said "inspiration"

[/ QUOTE ]

maybe you should look at other sources for "inspiration"

Someone looking for 'inspiration'?

Hmmm....I may know of a muse who can help out with that:

This should read "1.5-to-1." Sorry, it was too late to edit my dumb mistake.

This play is fine. I think its pretty likely he's not going to be called, a big pair is almost always going to reraise to thin the field after shortstack pushes. Being openminded and making unconventional plays can be okay even at a 10 pound = 20 dollar table

What's Gigabet got to do with this?!

I think it was just a clever plot to make you open this thread and post a droolable babe pic.

Seemed to work.

see this is what happens when you have Gigabet coining a "dilemma" named after him which justifies him pushing with Q 3o preflop in a multi-way pot because he sees chips and stacks in "blocks" and he plays in $1065 buy-in SNGs--- to say the least.

i've always said, if it's a good player justifying making a ludacris play and being able to explain it away--- people will eat it up. however; if the same play is made at a lower buy-in SNG like an $11, people will call it exactly what it is [ludicrous] and say, "well, you're not Gigabet" . if the play is dumb at $11, it's dumb at $1065. the only difference is the $1065 player is able to explain his reasoning behind his dumbness more intelligently.

Errr, all wrong. Are you telling me that an average $11 player and an average $1065 player will have the same thought process? I think not, which is why you are able to take advantage of different situations at different levels.
