I so wanted to see Vic bust Bobby

No that is a fake Francisco. The real legendary Francisco has not, to my knowledge, played on the show again after his monumental first appearance.

Pocket Qs,

In a cashgame, I'll almost call this every time, if your read is that the player is loose, i.e. seat 1, it's +EV everytime to call with QQ if you can eliminate AA and KK from his range.

Cashgames are all about maximizing small edges to make money in the long run, in a tournament you don't have that luxury so QQ calls short stack everytime unless player is uber-tight.

Surf, how do you know if it's ok to call a rather large raise with a low pair to get the 7-1 odds. Do you just have a feel if the person will continue bet or push and you'll stack him for the implied odds?

The real Francisco is the rarest part of the Holy Trinity, the other two, Ed and Jesus(but hasn't been in for a while) reside at the bike.

you mean a low pocketpair or just like bottom or middle pair on the flop???

On a cordinated board, I do not like smooth calling my set. A re-raise +EV

I very rarely see people move allin preflop with JJ or AQ.

So no preflop allin with QQ for me.

okay so apparently I'm an idiot.

Is the Live Feed no longer free? I know they charge for the Archives, but all I can get on the Live Feed is that stupid 16 minute commercial over and over again (preview stuff).

Help?
