looks good. no point in calling and hoping for a coinflip. keep opening pots and stay away from ones that have been 3-bet to you.

Re: Hand 1 from Stars 11+R
 

I don't have this fold in me as I think the button can/should be moving with many dominated hands vs this particular opener.

Re: Hand 1 from Stars 11+R
 

i honestly cant fold this, but ur much better than me

your folding this because t soprano still has to act again and has you covered, right? or is it because you think the 3bettor has a legit hand?

I am folding because I don't have a time bank to think (used it else where, I guess)

But essentially, yes.

Pretty sure t_soprano is folding everything through jacks here if JJ pushes...

Re: Hand 1 from Stars 11+R
 

t soprano is making this raise with a range of about two cards and the button is pushing with a fair range - but, he's pushing knowing that soprano will call almost anything getting over 2:1. I'm giving him credit for a real hand and I think that most often, you are a coinflip of some kind. Given that soprano is probably gonna overcall with tens or better (I never gave him much credit for tightness, am I wrong?) I think this may be a fold, but it's very very close. If you even had him covered by 100K I'd overpush. Oh well.

Re: Hand 1 from Stars 11+R
 

When I first read this, I thought you put in the 18K. Given that it's someone else, who has you covered and is yet to act, I fold here too. Hope the tourney worked out well.

even getting a lil over 2:1 on his money?
yea, i can buy that.

i also think its a fold because steals have met little resistance thus far, as JJ said, so id wait for a better spot. still have plenty of chips
