This should be stickied.

This is a situation where Dan's image can be utilized to the absolute max. In this blind confrontation, there's no show of strength at all. Given that you're a self-admitted LAG, of which Dan should be aware after the hands you've shown down, he's got no reason to believe you're not betting air. In a situation like this, whoever shows the most strength is going to be the most likely to take it down, and nobody would believe you've got a strong hand and nobody would doubt that he has something. This is as a result of the images you guys have created for yourselves, and he's taking advantage of it - in my mind, you aren't.

Also there's one consideration that nobody has brought up yet, and that's the incredible benefit of eliminating/crippling an opponent as tough as Dan. That benefit should be obvious if he has the ability to put you to decisions as tough as this (which I don't think is all that tough, but if he tests you like this, it's to your advantage to get rid of him).

Basically I think that in this situation image is going to play a huge role, and Dan capitalized on this 100%.

For all the incredible, ballsy, tough plays you're willing to make...why don't you give yourself a break every once in a while and win some (comparably) easy hands?

Of course he does. They just don't make good fanboy material and thus you don't hear about them.

So...was thinking about this hand and: if Giga was planning on betting the turn like he did, why not use those t12,000 chips reraise Harrington on the flop?

I haven't read past the 1st page of this thread because i don't need to, and the only reason i'm replying to this is because for some reason this thread has attracted much attention. Basically, in a battle of the blinds, which this is, the only hand that has you beat is 33 or 44 by the turn. If Harry has JJ or TT he would have most likely raised when you completed (i'm sure others will argue against this assumption). If it was me i'm going to the wire with this hand re-raising, and i dont give a fck about reputations as this is too strong a hand for a battle of the blinds.

Yours,
