We should all raise $500 and get erik123/Abdul Jalib or someone of that level to analyse a few 100 hands of his so we can put an end to this 'higher level thinking'.

Maybe I don't understand high limit poker, but I see plays that look very questionable to me.

How is this a good river call? Unless he has a specific read on the button, this call looks real bad.

Bleh. The flop is pretty close to a fold. Given that he continues on, his line is best, but it's not like there's any reason to believe he's found a way to make CCing K8s on the button a profitable move.

Right, because his play in hand 1 especially shows he has absolutely no understanding of certain very basic concepts. This makes it impossible for him to a winner of the proportions that people make him out to be.

look, he is better than you and has a higher understanding of poker than you. by your tone i see you could never make this play and its clear taht you lack of understanding is hindering your earn substantially.

i would assum that derb raked in a gigantic pot here and made many extra bets bc he didnt give his hand away too early as us tight predictable 2ers always do.

btw, txredman, derb proves that your play with aa is correct. [censored] the haters.

Given his relative position with the 3-better (AND the initial PFR) I think his just calling is perfectly fine. He might get to pop the whole field on the flop, or even better, the 3-better bets and the initial raiser tries to isolate with a raise... Now the big pot builds...

Seems like he plays ok to me. He's extremely aggressive and his hand range is very wide. Sounds like you pretty much have to pay him off a good portion of the time. Add in even fair hand reading skills, no need to be excellent, and I think you have at least a 1 bb/100 winner at 30/60, and maybe even more.

Default Re: More Derb Hands

great selections.

derb seems to follow your account status [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

seriously though, he likes to check and slowplay to induce action it seems. and he balances that with turn raises and river plays that seem nonsensical in isolation but are beginning to make sense.
