Looks good, baby. Zee is old and senile and back when he was lucid, they only played deep stacks. No need to make it $400, though for a guy with a clowny image like you, that might be ideal. I might make it $250 for kicks, but whatever, $200 is fine.

"i had 6d6c in ep in a very good live 5-5 $500 max buy in game. i limped, two players limped behind me, the sb made it $30 to go which was not super meaningful since that's a standard raise in the game and many players do it with all sorts of hands."

that doesn't matter, that's what you should be thinking about if you have AQ or something, or TT or JJ something like that where you don't know about the quality of your hand. here you have 66 and whether or not they have a good hand or great hand or okay hand you still need good implied odds, he raised 6 times the BB, that is big. with your big stacks you have odds to call, but i think you are thinking about it wrong.

old and senile but not stupid. that kind of raise gets you broke everytime he hits the hand you gave him odds to draw to.

"200 in the pot and you raised 160. youput your head in a noose. hope it didnt close too fast. next time make it 400 or more"

wow okay noted. thanks. i normally overbet, and the thing i love about these baby no limits, the best thing about them, is that the players dont bet enough to protect their hands, and they put their whole stacks at jeopardy.

anyway because our stacks are so shallow i figured $200 was enough. but i will know better next time.

no i mean i know 66 is playable there even if he has AA. i just wanted to note that he could have all sorts of likeable but not huge hands.

but with the pot as it is, and stacks as they are, wouldn't it still be correct for them to call with almost all "drawing hands" (" "s are b/c clearly all made hands are slim to draw and win)

I see what you're saying though b/c of the last part of the above sentance. there aren't any draws there other than the straight so almost all money put in is probably generating an equity of close to 95% maybe a touch less on average. But mike still have quite a bit behind. maybe your "for kicks" bet would be better than the 200 in general.
