NO CHAT!!!!!!!!!! It was unbelievable, I was excited for it. btw I'm done beating up on FJ and his ranting at the table or anyone elses for that matter.

Anyway this is a case where a player almost surely has more FE in the lower limits than against observant and willing to gamble in a +EV spot albeit with ugly cards at the higher limits.

No, Im not denying you the chat, there simply was none. He took this one like a champion [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's easy to play poker when you know your opponent is pushing any 2. Just becomes a simple math problem. If I recall this call wasn't even close...it was something like +1.5% against any 2.

Wow! (not to the numbers, but to the taking it like a champ.)

i think that a lot of the problems that FJ was having sort of have to do with the fact that he relied heavily on pushing any two, and frequently, and once your opponents start to pick up on that, even the dumber ones will start to pick you off. sometimes they'll do it in -ev -ev ways, but that hurts you too. meh.

i kinda liked your anti fj posts, but oh well, all good things come to an end.

such as my birthday. i go sleep now.

Yeah against some opponents its very dangerous if they know the exact range you are pushing with, assuming its exploitable, as is pushing any 2 in that spot from the SB.

just so you know, I dont push "any 2" very often anymore simply because people call me with total [censored] like Q3. I did push with 73 last night. Too bad the bb had AA. Everyone laughed at me and called me a total fish.
