The Experiment (tm) - First Hand

[Eric P]

Player 1 (SB): 4 3
Player 2 (BB): A J
Player 3: T 2
Player 4: K 6
Player 5: 7 5
Player 6: 9 8
Player 7: Q J
Player 8: 8 7
Player 9: 9 5
Player 10: 8 8
Flop: K K 3
Turn: 4
River: Q

my guess would be 98s open raises, 88 3bets on the button, AJd calls and 98 calls. AJd leads the flop 98calls 88 raises aj and 98 call. diamond comes AJ leads 98 raises 88 folds aj 3-bets call, river aj bets 98 calls aj wins

QJo is actually 3 off the Button. For me, this is an easy raise... I don't see how the fact that it's a tough table would make you want to fold this. At a table full of 2+2'ers, this raise has a better than 50% chance of stealing the blinds....

[/ QUOTE ]A table that tight would make nearly any hand playable from this position in an unopened pot. By my calculations, if you'll take the blinds over 57% of the time with an open-raise from a given non-blind position, you should do so even if you are dealt two rank-of-hands cards (.5714*1.5 SB/hand - .4286*2 SB/hand = 0 SB/hand). When the 2+2 table had severely tightened up last night and I hadn't played a hand in several orbits, I decided an open-raise with 84o had 60%+ probability of taking the blinds uncontested and went for it. Crazy? Not entirely.

You're a dick eugene.

[eugeneel]

You mock guy that lost 25K by having his account with his money frozen and demands reasonable treatment... yet you call me a dick?

My comment was funny and not that offensive.

When are we going to have the next hand dealt? Is it going to be once a week or month or what? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

[Nottom]

I was wondering the same thing. Are you planning on posting a few hands at once this time? I know you have some circulating about.

[ZeeJustin]

I have a few hands going around. One is almost done and will be up soon, in the General Texas Hold'em forum.

It's true, it wasn't offenseive, especially since i just re-read what i put, and had just got done playing super loose bad 10/20 and was used to that srot of play, i didn't realize that everybody playing was good. Also i said 98s would open it because i already read what he wrote about that happening, and i thought it did happen, that is probalby how it would happen if 98s did open it thoug don't you agree?

[eugeneel]

actually uyour thinking is not bad. If 89 opened that is exactly what should happen.
