A couple of ace/rag hands.
These were played by the same (good) player appx. 10 hands apart. I'm a bit perplexed by them and wonder if we could discuss them a bit. I think these are good examples of how roughly similar hands can be very different based on game conditions, but I can't entirely explain the play in these terms. The only other thing I can add is that big stack is fairly LAG.
FWIW, these are from a party $50+5. Would the play be different at lower buy-ins?
