see this is what happens when you have Gigabet coining a "dilemma" named after him which justifies him pushing with Q 3o preflop in a multi-way pot because he sees chips and stacks in "blocks" and he plays in $1065 buy-in SNGs--- to say the least.

I didn't coin the phrase.

if the play is dumb at $11, it's dumb at $1065.

Errr, all wrong. Are you telling me that an average $11 player and an average $1065 player will have the same thought process? I think not, which is why you are able to take advantage of different situations at different levels.

[/ QUOTE ]

but we're not talking about having the same thought process; we're talking about making dumb plays. go and pull the archives on Gigabet's hand and take a look at it. it's no amount of reasoning that's gonna make me see that hand he played as a stroke of genuis. the later effects of the hand may have had some merits to it but it's the [here-and-now] of that hand [the result of him winning it] that made his explaination to play it seem worthwhile. the proof is in the pudding. he's gonna get more credit for the play because of the level he plays. i play $5.50s and $11s. i guarantee if i explained it the same way he did, i would've got flamed for it.

having a more advanced thought process and being able to explain your reasoning more effectively and eloquently does'nt make up for the matter that it's a horrible play that worked out in your favor. take that play, change the result, and have him not cash in the SNG. i doubt very seriously that he would have tried to even post a thread justifying playing the hand at all. the fact that he won the hand it's what caused it to even see the light of day on these forums.

the first time i ever saw the "Gigabet Dilemma" was when you started the thread about your Q 3o hand with it in the title.
even if you did'nt coin it, there's no such thing. people play hands like this the way you did all the time and get lucky. there's nothing "Gigabetish" or "Dilemma" about it. trash is trash. if you win with it, lucky for you, but to put your name in it as if, [Eureka!] , it's the next thing since E=MC [squared] is crazy.

I think your allin is getting called way too often for this to be +EV. Sometimes I go allin every hand of a $5+$1. About 1/3 of the time I get called on the first hand.

maybe you guys are the ones that's been killing me on the river with 3 outers on the flop all-in when a clearly sane individual knows they're beat. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
