[mithong]

and what do you think is worse, calling half chips with AJ going all in with KK.

i think he was talking more about the "calling half chips with AJ going all in with KK" part...

[Scooterdoo]

No, he thought both plays were bad. I agree that all-in KK if no one is in the pot is not great. Even if you are just at 10x BB it's not great because you do want some action. That said, if you are short-stacked you are more likely to get called with a push than you would if you had a deep stack. I suppose this is why Hoyt called him with his AJ. He felt that the UTG player was making a move. He was wrong, but it worked for him.

Yeah, that was obvious from your first post.

[mithong]

iw as talking about the very end of the cast, when he was talking about the two "famous" players

[La Brujita]

These talks are pretty good, I like his discussion of the qq hand.

Calling with AJ isn't automatically a terrible play-it just depends on the range of hands you think opponent goes in with and your ev against that range.

[billyd]

Mike Sica won the $3,000 NL last year, and I think he said the other was Hoyt (sp) Corkins.

[ohkanada]

He didn't like that the KK raised all-in instead of making a 3xBB bet. I believe the guy had 10xbb and moved in.

As far as the AJ call, calling 1/2 your stack to an UTG raise all-in is not optimal.
