Question for Daliman

Jman28 · #1 03-30-2005, 10:37 AM

Hey Daliman,

I was watching one of your HHs on teamfu.freeshell.org, and I came across a hand that I strongly disagree with.

I guess I'm just wondering if you think you made a mistake, or you think there's a flaw in my reasoning. (or both)

4 Handed. BB = 100

Dali (UTG)- 4215
Button - 3540
SB - 350
BB - 1895

You are dealt 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and push all-in.

I understand that the other players should need a monster to call because of the short stack, but:

1) They may not know that and call you with TT+, AQ+, or something like that
2) The blinds are only 50 and 100, so you are risking potentially 3500 chips to win 150.

I guess that's it. What do you think? If you wouldn't push, would you play it at all?
Thanks.

(edit) You also go on to quote South Park. Is that recommended at the $200+15s?

Far be for me to answer for him, but ask yourself this .. You are the button, and you have KK. Do you call?

Uh... yes... are you serious? If Dali pushes 4000 chips and I have KK as a 3500 stack, I am standing on the edge of the table, shoveling my chips into the pot. Please tell me you're kidding.

Then I guess Dali's opponents find finishing ITM more enjoyable than you.

If you're suggesting that the majority of players at the $215 level will fold KK here, you're just flat wrong.

You don't get it.

Hint in white:

<font color="white"> Do you make more money finishing in 3rd twice or 1st once?

And you're getting 1st way more than that if you go all in with KK. </font>

tag team?

You have a point. You were probably just exaggerating with KK.

55 I fold in a second and Daliman would be happy with that.

You haven't been following this guy's literature.
