Default Re: Stillman\'s play on the pocket deuces!

the guy limped in EP then called a raise. the flop came AQx. he's got a pocket pair tehre such a huge portion of the time. he has to think that most Ax hands are coming in with a raise, or if not, are coming over the top once it gets back to him. pocket pairs probably make up 70 or 80% of the guy's range, and at that stage picking up pots is huge. it's a gamble just like any other situation. he pushed against kessler's range and got unlucky.

him ripping on Kessler for calling with ATo was IDENTICAL to Arieh's rants last year. he clearly just wanted to look cool on tv for his friends. too bad he just looked like a fat disrespectful [censored].
