Negreanu\'s preflop call of 75s
Negreanu's Cardplayer article discusses his play of 75s in the Championship Poker at the Plaza. He has 22k in this hand and is opening from the button.
At the $150-$300 level, my standard raise is usually $800, so that's what I made it. Annie Duke was in the small blind with close to $40,000 in chips, which was a very good-sized stack at that point in the tournament. After an awkward hesitation, she reraised to $2,800. The big blind folded, and it would cost me $2,000 more if I wanted to see the flop. Anytime I can get 2-1 pot odds, implied odds, and position with a suited connector, you can count me in! |

Re: Negreanu\'s preflop call of 75s
Based on his read, he should have reraised pre-flop with an amount that would convince Annie that he is willing to pot commit himself.

Re: Negreanu\'s preflop call of 75s
the idea is to take a relatively cheap flop and break someone, not show them that your pot commited and get a lot of chips commited with a very veak hand if played hot and cold. After the flop his plan obviously changed but that was because he had hit the kind of flop he was hoping for and a situation called for a strong semibluff. In this scenario a preflop reraise would have been a very bad play

Yeah but calling 2k more isnt getting to see cheap flop.

Yes, but barely over 10% of his stack and in position. Not for the faint-hearted, to be sure.

Re: Negreanu\'s preflop call of 75s
I don't even know what smoothcall is arguing here. Is he arguing the call was wrong or is he arguing that Dan N is not a good player?
Or is he arguing that non of the pro players on tv is a good player and its all marketing and smoothcall is the best? I mean, it seems like you enjoy being forum antagonist. |

All of those are possible.
