It just swells the pot and it's almost a certainty that the only way you're winning the pot is by bluffing, which will now be VERY expensive and also very risky because your reraising opponent would have to not get a piece of the flop. In other words, that's a lot of chips to risk later on in the hand on the off chance your opponent has nothing AND misses the flop when you could just fold your 57. LAGs can't profitably be run over. And they also can't profitably call every time they're reraised. I would say 57o is on the "fold" end of that spectrum. |

[/ QUOTE ] Agreed that normally it's a fold, but maybe this guy had played back at him once or twice and he let the hands go? The statement "if Antonius made anything close to a standard sized reraise, calling with 75off to see a flop was a poor play" is false without knowing the entire situation. |

Re: GIGABET.
they're playing with really deep stacks. Calling a reraise with it isn't bad at all. Even if all it could do is please shania

Re: GIGABET.
Gigabet is a genius, because many people do not understand when to play (7 5) and make it EV+ for a particular situation

WOW
Joe Cassidy just called a 200K raise from Antonius after leading 120K with A7 high on a 965QJ board and his hand was good. I am speechless.

Re: WOW
With the board showing 9s-6d-5d-Qh-Jh on the river, Joe Cassidy bets $120,000 into a $500,000 pot, and Patrik Antonius raises to $320,000. Cassidy makes an incredible call with Ad-7c (ace high). Sure enough, Antonius shows Ah-3d, and Cassidy's kicker plays to win the entire pot.
Joe Cassidy is our new chip leader with approximately $1.45 million, while Antonius is down to $500,000. >>>>>>>> unreal |
