Default Re: *RESULTS*

Seems pretty standard to me, i can't really imagine playing it any other way, especially given the dynamic at the time.

I thought about pushing on the river, but i thought that he has air or a fullhouse at least as often as he has Ax here, given the way the hand went down.

Pushing wouldn't even cross my mind here. I think AT+/air is a reasonable range for strassa- potting the river with Ax seems pretty pointless. Check to snap off a bluff, 1/3 or 1/2 pot it for value/to freeze a bigger ace, but don't pot it. Potting it with AT is a little thin, but it is easy to put fsu on Ax here, and strassa has been LAGing it up, so it seems ok.

Also, strassa should be folding AJ/AT to a river raise. Hardly anyone bluffs here- we all look in retrospect and say wow, what a perfect spot to bluff... but in the moment it doesn't happen. If strassa has to consider calling for the rest here, he shouldn't be leading for 1/2 of his stack in the first place.
