AQ call not at bad as it seems, he's getting 4:1 against the tightest player at the table [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Um, more checking down? Better put a stop to that real quick.

I dunno if Mahatma would want all his hands shown to the world.

Max had a pretty tough decision there. He's basically coinflipping vs 2 pair and is obliterated vs a straight and maybe 2.5:1 dog vs a set. I also think set might make that raise.

uh oh - I see trouble brewing in the thread.

Isn't that a bit aggressive to move in like that with two overs on the board. What am I missing here? I know he had position.

FWIW, it seemed aggressive to me.

To save the question from being asked, it's not 2+2's own El Diablo.

In other L@TB news, what are the plans for next Thursday and Friday?

Edit: Since that was answered before you saw my Q, will there be any "best of" programming those two nights?

That's the second time I heard something to the effect of "he's only invested $20, he should be able to get away from this". The 2nd time in reference of Mike's call of a limp-reraise with 88 against Tommy's AA.

"He's only invested ___ dollars"... should never be a reason for a decision to call, raise or fold. What you put in the pot is no longer yours. It's now in the pot and you use pot odds to determine if you should call, raise or fold (as well as remaining stacks for implied odds).

Sorry, but I've heard "I've only put $xx in the pot, I'm getting away from this" a lot, and it's this faulty logic which leads to poor decisions.

Didn't Alan star in the Beastie Boys video "Sabotage?"
