gigabet is my hero
I had been playing awful until this point. I needed to do something to get going again.
Is this fancy play syndrome or should I be doing more of this at the 109s?

Re: gigabet is my hero
I don't like it. There's no way you're going to have enough FE to make up for the fact that you have almost no draw when called. If you have a super read (I believe Gigabet's principles rely heavily on knowing and exploiting your opponent's tendencies) that you didn't include in the post, that might change things. If you had even stacks and you weren't going all-in, this play would be super. Also, if your opponent started the hand with ~t1000 it might be fine as is. The hand posted is pretty clearcut FPS though.

Re: gigabet is my hero
You raised to 175 after 4 limpers lvl 1? I think that should say t75

Re: gigabet is my hero
While we're on the topic . . .
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (3 handed) converter Button (t2160) Hero (t6070) BB (t5270) Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t500</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t1200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t3000</font>, BB calls t1800. Flop: (t6025) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t3045 (All-In)</font>, BB folds. Final Pot: t9070 I had just restolen from this guy for the first time a couple of hands ago, and I had the distinct feeling he wanted revenge. I think I also deserve bonus points for identifying a player at the 10s who would make this laydown. EDIT: To answer the original question, I don't think it's fancy play syndrome. It can be difficult to identify when this kind of move is going to work, but for a shortstack in particular to take this kind of line looks really intimidating, because people are more used to an open desperation push from the shorties. Thus, it looks like you want to get paid, which should help ensure that you do, in a way. |

You shouldn't even be open raising to t75 in these games, much less raising 4 limpers. t175 is a great raise. Being that it's the first hand and he got a ton of callers, the flop push is pure insanity. -Phoenix |
