My criticism of your play is directed solely at small pairs. HOW DOES THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING ONE OF THOSE HANDS IN THOSE SITUATIONS DETER ME FROM CRITICIZING YOUR PLAY IN THOSE SITUATIONS? There that was a lot of caps but you seem to have problems deciphering what I'm saying.

How many keyboards do you go through in a given year? All the drool must short circuit them or something.

There's nothing more I can say to someone like you. I will risk my chips with a small pair if I think my opponnent has high cards. You wouldn't.

Oh well, get the [censored] over it.

You do not have the magic ability to know when your opponent has two unpaired cards. You're not the only one who labors under this illusion, mind you. But the sooner you realize that all you can do in 99.9% of preflop situations is put someone on a range of hands, and that the range tends to include both paired and unpaired hands, the closer you will be to improving your game.

Ignoring the result though, who do you think played that hand well? Both of us, one, or neither? I don't think murphy's play with AK is necessarily good (or bad) and I don't think dean's call with JJ is necessarily bad (or good).

Truthfully, and a bit wishy-washily, its all relative to who is playing the hands. With veteren players at the table, the required quality of hands raises, and JJ or AK all-in calls are riskier. But with internet cowboys who think any pocket pair or AJ unsuited is a monster lock, you need to adjust your play. So maybe the WSOP call was loose or even reckless, but that may be a necessary strain of play in this environment.

I think a lot harder about the value of AK these days than I once did ....

How so? Do you consider it a drawing hand now?

I'm just waiting for the tourney where DimensionPresident goes all in with 44 thinking his opponent has overcards and he gets shown 77-55.

As soon as that happens, maybe he'll be convinced there are different considerations when you have 99 or 44.

Yeah, that's going to be even better than when I have 44 and my opponnent has AK and misses every street.
