Re: WSOP 1500 PL Report
you are getting 2.2 to 1 on your money, so it is very close.
I may fold since i wouldn't want to get down to the 30x level as I think there is more maneuverability at 40x. But MLG is probably a very good big stack player, and with this big field I'd say the risk is likely worth it. |

Re: WSOP 1500 PL Report
1. Making this raise here is pretty standard for me when I have the other players in the hand covered. I don't care if one of them calls preflop because I'll likely take it down with a flop bet.
2. The call is very close, and I thought about it for a while. With a 1400 stack and an aggresive raiser in front of him I just couldn't put him on a range to make me fold getting that price. I ended up calling and saying, "you couldn't have had like 200 more?" |

Re: WSOP 1500 PL Report
I don't think its a leak as opposed to a skill that I am slowly learning. As for this hand in particular I think it was more important that the guy not think I was c-raising with air, and would therefore make him more inclined to fold a medium strength hand the next time the situation came up. Obviously its completely opponent specific.

Re: WSOP 1500 PL Report
I hear what you are saying, and still not convinced it's correct.
I am learning as well. But if I played your style, and if I had the urge to show, the only show I would make is a look like steal raise that was uncalled w/ AA, KK QQ AK etc., to keep the fear in them from calling and coming over the top. I doubt that even this is correct and don't advocate it either. |

Do you want all these opponents thinking you can make big lay downs, and coming over the top of your steal attempts. A good player will keep putting pressure on you that you don't need with this newfound knowledge. I just don't see anything positive in this show. We here at the forum know you can play, no need to educate others. Make them pay to learn. |
