Yes, I really do mean "any two cards"

$60 SnG. Yes I knew he would fold. And of course, I showed.

that is amazing

Did you finish 1st?

[Sightless]

why risk so much?

[pokergrader]

This is standard.

[Burno]

Obviously standard, though I don't understand the show, might make him think, no?

PS. do you really raise to 1720 or push all in? No difference of course, but I'm surprised you'd go to the trouble of setting him in for exactly his stack while multitabling.

I thought the guy was the type of guy who would outthink himself if I raised a different amount and maybe even fold a weak ace (I had been pushing liberally).

I showed because they both have 1xBB left and so it really doesn't matter and I'm evil.

Not really, I personally am calling with at least top 40% if I am BB... it's +$EV to call with Q5o as BB if SB is pushing any two. But if I thought he would call with Q5o I probably would have folded.

yes

So BB has less than 1000 chips after posting his blind? Isn't it +EV to call any two cards in his position, because you're pushing any two?
