Is this a joke?

I hope so....this is at the $20s, make a standard AA raise for Level 1 to 75 if there is only 1 caller.

Al P · #4 04-21-2005, 11:18 PM

Do you think I would never get called in this situation?

TruFloridaGator · #5 04-21-2005, 11:19 PM

At the 20s, no, little to none.

there have been a pile of posts on this subject already. the point being that you'll often get paid off by the rampant terrible players, fairly risklessly.

personally, it's not a route i'd take unless i had some helpful notes around the table.

I declare this move the "ALP".

BTW the limper called with KQo and I sent him home with his tail between his legs.

The problem is that even with notes, the worst players on Party aren't going to call w/out KT+ or 66+. And most of the players aren't nearly that bad. If you do this to a raiser, though, it may be worth it. You'll get a lot of AQ+ or JJ+ calls. These calls would include, if I haven't any notes on you, mine.

It's already been named "The Move of Honour".
Plus you only play the 20s so you're not allowed to have a move named after you, remember? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think even the terrible players like to go all in not call and all in.
