Re: $33: TT facing strange all-in bet

You're looking at a coinflip at best most of the time here, sometimes you're dominated, and on one of those freakish occasions that you remember he's holding a lower PP.

Re: $11: Two 33 bubble hands - Is this why I never finish 1st?

[ QUOTE ]
1) Easy, easy fold.

2) You're not going to get the bigstack to fold anywhere near 9 times out of 10. He's got you covered by 2000 chips, as does the BB. With the shortstack hanging...

22$ 200/400 88 on button, shorty present, push?

Play for first right? I think this is a push, but does the presence of the shorty in the small blind change things?

Re: $11: Two 33 bubble hands - Is this why I never finish 1st?

The big stack at an 11 is almost never trying to trap you in this situation, he has a mediocre hand and just wants to see a flop. You can count on him folding 9 times out of 10 here. So basically...

Re: ($22 Party) Family Pot on the Flop, Top Pair

Well, I suspect that this is a 11 or 22 dollar tourney, from the level of play. This is a pretty good example of why you should fold this hand preflop. You really can't raise with it, and limping...

Re: Where do you sit?

Always the corners, specifically because I suspected (correctly) that more 2+2ers do this than any other seating configuration.

I still suggest that all 2+2ers attempt to sit in the corners, as...

Re: Seat Selection

Right on, that's a great idea.

If 2+2er's always chose only corner seats, it would be beneficial for all of us. We would be guaranteed to have at least 6 non-2+2ers at every table, and most of...

Re: Seat Selection

Well, I suppose the only way to find out if this is ridiculous is to take a poll, and find out how many 2+2ers are particular about where they sit.

Re: 11s: bubble stop and go?

I think you have to push here, or else the BB is just going to do it a lot of the time, and then lose the chips that you might've stolen.

Re: sng low set play on river.

I agree, slowplaying is bad news in this position. While this is almost a bad beat post, this still could have been prevented with a raise on the flop or at the very least on the turn.

Re: How\'d I get myself in this mess??? Or am I g00t?

The big problem here is the min-raise preflop. It was still ridiculous for 63 to call you, but you have to make it less attractive for medoicre to shitty hands to suck out on you.
