agression in the stars 500k? thoughts?

[raptor517]

ok, so naturally, my image is a bit loose. i like to play a LOT of hands, and see a lot of flops, when im the one raising of course... thus, i aquire a lot of chips with marginal hands and have a relatively loose image. however, i dont reraise hardly ever without a strong hand.

Ha££INGGOL is my opponent in this instance. he is quite a solid player in the stars mtt, and is capable of making a play. i know he can make a fold, and he knows i can make a steal.. however, if i push and win that hand, i can cut up the table to my liking. i dont want people playing back, and i made this play to assure that.. thoughts?

either that or im not scared of busting.. as i play for first..?

[billyjex]

would you post this hand if he called w/ AQ? no. i hate risking half your chips on 4 high, even if more than not he will fold.

you say you don't want the table playing back at you.. but you have 50xbb. it will be a lot harder to run a table w/ 20xbb.

meh, I do this sometimes. If I plan on not doing it w/o a real hand I may even show, but if only I was assured that the table is there for a while.

I think this play is weak because it's less about your image as a reraiser and more about the fact that HALLINGOL has already invested 27% of his stack and refuses to get away from a big hand. Because remember, he's also likely playing for first too, and is willing to make a gamble with a player such as yourself.
