Re: Orbflux\'s final reply.
 

Yea that's why I was a little confused...oh well, carry on...

Re: A 2+2 table hand. Short handed and 1/2 limit but it belongs here.
 

Yeah often times "slowplaying" big hands preflop and on the flop is the correct strategy at 2p2 tables where people will raise for free cards with little to nothing or just raise postflop because it is fun. This hand is played fine imo.

jt, i looooove it!! orb is just ornery cuz he played that hand like poo. i wasnt around this weekend to unban you and relinquish his banning powers, but i imagine that was the only way he could get back at you for totally pwning him in that hand. keep in mind i dont think he is a day over 18 or 19.

I figured as much. I just wanted to teach something, granted I was drunk and you when I get challanged, there is no end in sight.

However, we had a Kum By Yah moment tonight and made up. The kid's got fire and it's a good thing as I was the same when I was his age 15 years ago. It's a good sign. He's got promise in the game, I hope we all learn something for this. I have.

Peace,

When you limp in at a 6 max table full of aggressive players, there is no way I am going to raise you with T9s. That is just a dumb play.

I don't get the call/3-bet flop line. That isn't to say it is bad, just kinda weird IMO.

Other than that, I don't get why you were ripped for you play. But then again, I'm average. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It's because:

1 - MP reads JT for a weak hand, maybe some kind of draw.
2 - MP knows BB is terrible and can have a lot of different weak hands here.
3 - MP will be overly aggressive here, trying to knock players out and buy free cards.
4 - If JT raises here (especially after his limp-cap preflop), MP will slow way down and possibly fold a hand that is far behind.
5 - JT knows all of this, and knows he's almost guaranteed to get a raise by MP if he just calls, thus allowing him to 3-bet.

It's similar to how many players play a flopped set, except in this case JT planned it out before his initial check; most players just call, get a "surprise" raise in behind them, then decide to 3-bet.

Should not JT's limp/cap PF set off an alarm here for villain?
