Re: Amusing reaction to 79s push ( low content )

Lol.

What I find interesting is - the same players who were shocked - shocked!! - that I would push with 79s, were calling all ins with A2 and KT. If they think only AT+ should be pushing there,...

Amusing reaction to 79s push ( low content )

Live $100 +$100 single rebuy Hawaian Gardens tourney Friday night.

16 left, we're in the money, it folds to me in the cutoff

Re: Flopped low end of straight - now what?

I agree with the posts here, just wanted to check though.

I did push, UTG folded, and later told me he had Kings - and would have called if I had just called!

That $300 table can be quite a...

Do you push AT here?

Sorry if this sounds basic, but I have run into this situation a few times and am beginning to question my approach.

The situation:

Just in the money. I'm short- have 4500, blinds 300/600.

Re: Interview w/ The Mouth

The gossip is nice, but the real interesting thing is how Matusow falls in the 'accumulator / chip up' camp, apparently eschewing even 4/1 all-in confrontations ( ala Hellmuth). This is rather...

Re: RESULTS (from the mouth of the villian)

Great thread.

John's preflop play is something I'd like to explore. Anyone else play it this way? I just can't see passing up two opportunities to raise pre-flop here.

Re: I want to stick my head in the sand with this KK hand.

When the action gets to you PF there is ~800 in the pot already. Raise to more than 600; I would make it 900 or 1000. Look at it from the limpers' perspectives, you are giving them good odds to call....

Re: Calling an all-in with Q-10suited (let the beatings begin)

Good call, you re as desperate as desperate gets, have a reasonable hand, and need to triple/quadruple up.

As stated you have no FE left anyway.

Re: AK Early Tourney - Getting away from it.

Good post, I have usually gone up in flames on hands like these also. I think I've made progress in being able to sometimes get away from them. Here's show I see it. I think my chip counts are right:...

Inconsistency in Harrington\'s book?

8 handed table, M of 5, folded to you in 3rd position, you hold AJo. Players behind you have been tight. One...

Re: Longest run of non-cashes for you??

Glad you posted this. I was wondering the same thing.

My longest streak just ended at 30 - that seems to be in the range of others. I then made 3 top 3 finishes in my next 5 tourneys.

You guys are killing me with the 'middle aged' stuff. She looked about 30 to me.

Re: Huge difference in competition - cash vs MTT\'s

"it's a function of stack size "

Meaning, deeper stacks = higher skill needed. Right?
