Re: The Hand -- An Ace-Queen Problem Part I
There were two larger stacks than mine involved in the hand.
Villian had around T4000 (plus his rebuy ticket) and another player on the far end of the table had around T3300 (with no rebuy ticket)...

Re: Too Much All In Again?
It's an easy push to me too, but then I am not doing too well in multi-table format (I am a terror at the sit n go format).
In the longer tournament formats I fear I may be taking too many "easy...

Re: All in before the flop. Didn\'t need to be.
OK -- I apologize for intruding on your little enclave.
Your attitude will not stop me from asking questions and seeking information.
And it might give you high blood pressure or heart disease.

Re: All in before the flop. Didn\'t need to be.
Do you see the distinction between calling All-In with a heavy favorite, and intiating a confrontation against a larger stack with a heavy favorite?
Has that been discussed, and do you feel it is...

Re: All in before the flop. Didn\'t need to be.

Re: All in before the flop. Didn\'t need to be.
For some reason, I am happier calling the all in with AA or KK and busting, than pushing with these hands and busting.
That is not to make any theoretical point, but merely to confess an intuitive...

Re: All in before the flop. Didn\'t need to be.
I realize that I got all in with a huge edge. And maybe I didn't give enough information. I mean even going all in with AA you figure to lose 1 in 5 or 1 in 6 hands, at least. And since the all-in...
