Default Re: Trapping with too weak a hand? AJo on bubble.


btw didnt see there was an 1100 and 1500 stack. Only saw the 1500 stack and quickly assumed it was impossible that anyone was lower than that because then limping and calling an allin is so bad that I couldnt even imagine it possible from you. I'm not even joking, this was my exact thought process, thus didnt even bother noticing the other stack size.

Anyway yea, this way of playing is dreadfully bad on the bubble with 1800 chips and two shorter stacks.

The fact that he'll only call when you're beat is a good thing, not a bad one.

Push.

I believe you man. I honestly am this bad. I mean, this is the worst play I've made in a while, but there should be no reason for me to do this.

A winning player should not make this play ever, even as a mistake. Simple as that.

I need to spend some time on my game, something I haven't done in a while.

Its okay I make bad mistakes sometimes too (they usually occur earlier in the sit and go's I think). However I will never make one like this, which is of a purely technical nature.

Yeah. I never spent enough time studying ICM calculations. Especially calling situations.

At the lower levels, it was much more important to know when to push.


When they pushed, unless you had a fairly big hand or great odds, you folded.

I also kind of learned situations that apply to more common calling ranges in lower levels. In the 215s, players call much more frequently (suprised me) and I need to go back and relearn it altogether.

Well, all's been said on this thread, you should push.. I think the QQ hand was also a fold, before I saw the results..
