Straight-up defense of the BB? No real danger of busting to anyone in the hand. Tolumax was a surprise caller and the flop was kind to Giga.

Just a noob (but listen to Freemoney's advice in the Beef thead Raptor....) Slacker

see when i read some hands like adanthars 77 and the comments people made and jcm when he posts 77 hand i feel like i see the game on a whole different level and then an obviously better player makes a play like this and i cant understand it for the life of me, i would love to hear the reasoning. mine is hes getting almost 2-1 open limper is weak tight and BB will only call with a hand like the one he picked up.

Re: WHAT THE F*** explain this one..????????
 

Gig is test-playing a new luckbox. I think he can go ahead and buy it.

Re: WHAT THE F*** explain this one..????????
 

isolation raise, getting ALMOST 3 to 1.. i mean i understand the reasoning behind it, but is it really worth it? to be at best a 60/40, ruin yer table image, and possibly run into a monster limper? apparently it is, but the whole risk/reward thing just seems to be a bit too high risk for a bit too little reward. i dont claim to be world class, but im not sure if i could fall in love with this play. actually, this is the kind of play i COULD fall in love with, but its gonna take a lot of foreplay to get me there. holla

Re: WHAT THE F*** explain this one..????????
 

risking 310 to win 710, i can see doing that with Q high.

everyone who sat at this table likely knows who he is, and how he plays.

Re: WHAT THE F*** explain this one..????????
 

i misread the hand, i though there was only one limper and the KK was in the BB, ehh it makes me like it less, i dont know how many of the others are regulars but i dont think giga really has the tightest table image

ok, geez, think about it. its not like hes calling from the bb to a sb push. he is sliding his whole stack out there with limpers. gig says this is a level one, automatic play. well, its not going to be all that hard to pick up on his push Q high with 2 limper tendencies and maybe, i duno, limp with KK. im not knocking gig at all for this, as he knows what hes doing damn better than i, however, its not NEAR as clear cut as you try to make it sound eihli. holla
