Both this and the 72o hand (which I don't think is anywhere near what you really had) are completely retarded, so congratulations. Why is it you never post hands where the action is, you know, the right one? Instead it's obscure and intensely questionable plays designed to make it look like your game is so far beyond the rest of ours that we can't possibly fathom it. Have you ever done something normal, like open with AA, or fold 83o?

What in the world kinda stupid post was that.

So you're saying you would rather see posts that have obvious answers ?

Re: Festa al Lago....Gigabet is weak tight at heart.
 

I can only fold this hand against a very bad, very predictable, super-easy to read player. Against a decent player, I can't see this fold being good.

Re: Festa al Lago....Gigabet is weak tight at heart.
 

For the record, I don't understand this play at all.

good post pax. I totally agree.

Re: Festa al Lago....Gigabet is weak tight at heart.
 

I don't have a problem believing it at all. This same tourney he busted a guy after calling a raise PF with 75o, last spring (I think) he busted out of a big tournement when he reraised all in against Gavin with nothing. Giga doesn't have a problem betting crap if he thinks it will work, and has been caught at it often enough that it can be accepted as fact. Givin that, there is no reason to no to believe him this time.

Yeh, he probably did have 72o. I have been at his table a few times, and he seems to show down a lot of unsuited hands 8 high or lower. Part of it is he plays the situation and can read/bluff to get maximum value from a weak hand. However, I think he partly plays hands like that for psychological effect.

How do you play the rest of the hand here? Do you just push when it gets back to you on the turn? If not, what do you do on the river?

Re: Festa al Lago....Gigabet is weak tight at heart.
 

All of you are missing a very important aspect of this hand that seperates it from any hand that most of you have ever played. I don't necessarily agree with the hand, but I am open minded enough to see the reasons behind it.

Re: Festa al Lago....Gigabet is weak tight at heart.
 

lol.... PLEASE SHARE YOUR HIDDEN REASONS

they better not include:
not going broke in an unraised pot
still enough chips to play big stack poker
creating an image for later play
or anything else people have brought up.

Lets hear it.

I'm always amazed by the sense of entitlement people on this (and others) board have.

The answers don't have to be in the back of the book to make the problem worth attempting to solve.
