Re: Eh... I think I changed my mind...
major,
This is an opponent I know very well, and he is a player who gives a lot of respect to my aggression...I was certain that this player would check his TPTK to me. Otherwise, I would not have made this play on the flop. [ QUOTE ] ...especially because he doesn't deserve it this time. [/ QUOTE ] Is this really you major??

Re: 56s hand...how bad did I play this?
"56s hand...how bad did I play this?"
After reading this thread, does anyone else think Ropey really meant to call this thread "56s hand...I think I played it brilliantly and let me tell you why"? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] The play itself is fine if kept in extreme moderation against opponents who are incapable of adjusting. There are 2 problems with it though. 1. The ridiclous idea in this thread that you can eliminate a pair based on nothing whatsoever other than a gut feeling. He raised preflop, this tells you absolutely nothing other than you *can't* eliminate a big pair. 2. Doing this in MP is suicide, even against such an opponent. You will simply run into a big hand behind you or someone in the BB willing to chuck in 2 more sbs too often for it to be a long-term +EV play. Once that 3rd player comes in, you're screwed, and even when they don't, you have to pray they miss. Other than those 2 things, it's fine in extreme moderation against opponents who don't adapt. In other words, there just ain't a whole lot of practical use for it. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
