ry,

his bet was closer to 1/2 the pot than 2/3 of it.

i think that as has been said in other posts here that people are waaaaay overestimating the effect that will be had on z's profits by people who are initially unfamiliar with his game trying to "play at him due to his postings." i think anyone who's already a regular with z knows what type of player he is (good), and that anyone who isn't and thinks that they are going to take an edge off him using his posts is probably not good.

z's going to be changing up his style as he moves through any tournament, probably not so much as to make this standardish move become not the play he makes at any point, because well, them's free chips if he's in the hand because he knows how to play against the opponent.

but well, a thinking opponent is going to mix up how he plays the hand against z as well, so yes, he's going to get checkraised sometimes here and have to throw away his hand. hell, he might even get bluff checkraised here sometimes and have to throw away his hand! amazing! other people get to make plays besides the hero sometimes. and yes, they mix it up too!

sigh.
