Re: AK fold...but the flop was so pretty
Didn't citanul address this earlier in the thread?
[ QUOTE ] the idea that "i don't want to put my stack in there early with a small pot" is so entirely flawed it's not funny. if you can get some idiot to put all their chips in there with you early as a significant dog, you should be doing it, often. at the lower buyin tournaments, you should be able to do this often. players who complain of having a short stack too often near the bubble are victims of this "don't bust out" mentality. [/ QUOTE ] By the way, thanks everyone so far for a v. interesting discussion. |

Re: AK fold...but the flop was so pretty
Yeah.... If the table sucks that much, sure. A 60/40 flip would be really nice. But raising normally is going to often be better, especially if you can play postflop.
And of course, you have position here. If you play postflop at all, you will realize how much that matters. You can get a lot more free cards, you're going to be bluffed a lot less. |

I just posted this hand to get a rise out of you guys [/ QUOTE ] No you didnt... Seriously man. The blind aggression that you use in this hand as well as the QQ hand that JayKon posted tonight is a real leak. |

You are wrong about the QQ hand, so sorry. |

Re: AK fold...but the flop was so pretty
Does pushing this pre-flop have no effect on your table image? Will people not call you with weaker hands further down the road in this tourney? I personally like earning more respect for when I go to steal the L4 and L5 blinds.
Or does table image not matter that much at the 20's... JChaP |
