pbdrunks on pstars is a clown
 

well. i think he's a good player, and his status on the yearly TLB probably suggests that he is. but he is a tool. after being busted in the rebuy he was furiously telling me how stupid my play was, how it was "the gayest play ever",ect...

anyways. i thought it was a pretty easy play, b/c i thought BB would not push without something really good, then i could fold and be fine. and dude, if you're a 2+2er, i do'nt care how good you play, GROW up, b/c you are VERY CLASSLESS

You called off 13% of your stack with q5o.... getting nowhere near the odds to call?

How can you say he's getting nowhere near the odds to call without first putting villan on a range of hands?

i'm not too crazy about this..you're risking 33% of your stack to get yourself a coinflip.

I think it depends on how often BB plays back at you.

hero played this well. Pbdrunks is a very childish player. Generally, he lacks good manners. Specifically, he is prone to childish outbursts like this.

As for the hand. Hero is getting about 2.3:1 on his play (provided he can fold out BB). Villian's range is wide as he has only 2.5BBs.

well. i felt BB might come over top with weaker hands if i call. but i didn't think he's likely push me in with garbage after i raised... and i think he might have made somewhat loosish calls if i pushed since it looked so suspicious, which is why i raised. i'm not really sure if the raise was good amount, but i'm almost certain that reraising is the correct play here.

Yea i've gotta think that's +cEV.. just looks so wrong.

so are you raising any 2 cards here to isolate?

No. Q5 is very likely to have villian "over/undered" or "btwnn the sheets" That is, a lot of villians hands will be A6/K7/K2/67/J9/etc etc. Villian's range is very wide and Qx has high card value. I wouldn't do this with a bottom 50% hand, but my range for this play is pretty wide.
