Barch made a great read that he wasn't a coin flip and called with his jacks.

Why is this a great read? You're saying that it's an ok play for the chip leader to CC in that situation with AK/AQ/ and KQ?

I think most would agree that's a bad play with AK/AQ and and iffy play with KQ. Hence, I'm sure Barch thought he
was better than a coin flip to everything except KQ.

You're a donkey if you re-raise 2 people with KQo/s. Calling behind ON THE BUTTON is the only play I can think of that's +EV.

Also, you need to remember that you're going to lose 1 out of 3 times if Black has only one overcard to your jacks and 1 out of 4 times if he holds a smaller pair (like 88).

I think what you people are not getting is that the difference between 10th and 9th is 400,000$. That's a lot of money considering the difference between 6th and 9th is $500,000.
