AQ RIVER TP. LELAISE OR CALL?

[sweetjazz]

My inclination at first to lelaise, because lelaising just sounds cool and because you have a strong hand.

But what hands that you beat play this way? If villain had a Q, I think he can only be calling down if he has AQ. Would he try to slowplay to the river with 99 or A2s? Could he have a small PP that he was planning on calling down anyway and now he's trying to push you off JJ/TT on the river?

Are you going to fold to a lelelaise (aka a 4-bet)?

I initially thought 3-betting was best, but unless someone can give a reasonably sized range of hands that villain has that we beat, I think calling is best.

I (probably very stupidly) thought "lelaise" was just a typo. If it was meant as a slur, that's really lame, and I'm sorry I continued to use the word in my reply.

if you dont find the title humorous, fine.
if you think im a racist, lol. whatever.
if you didnt get the joke, you must not play live often... dont worry, it wasnt all that hysterical.

BTW/ im willing to lay some huge odds that every person who voiced outrage is white.

Well, let's see... two people were in agreement that the title could be construed as racist, and suggested it was unecessary. One guy asked what you were talking about, and one guy said it was lame.

Where's the "outrage"? I see what you are doing. You are exaggerating our responses to make it seem that WE are in the wrong, like we're all crazy hyper-sensitive fools who don't understand that it's ok to stereotype if it's in the context of a lame joke. Why don't you just do the right thing, and admit that your choice of titles was not the best.

Since you brought it up by the way, everyone has the right and the obligation to shoot down ethnic slurs wherever they are seen, not just those in the target audience. Doing so is way more important than any poker content discussed in this thread.

my 2 cents.

If we assume there are only three possible responses to the title of this post, disgust, indifference, or amusement, i believe the triple that best expresses the average white male's response to the title is:

{1, 19, 80}

and furthermore, for an asian like myself

{0, 0, 100}

therefore he played it correctly. Feel free to dispute my math, but I ran it through pokerstove and doublechecked.
