HOH II Problem 9-3 (p 177)

Whether this is correct or not I'm not real sure.

But I'll tell you one thing, if you have ever watched Dan
play, he ain't pushing with this in a real life situation.

Bruce

you have to be kidding. did you see his squeeze play in the '04 championship with 2 rags like 38o in which he pushed over a million chips in (i'm going by memory here).

[bruce]

A squeeze play is a completely different scenario. You're
comparing apples to oranges.

Bruce

not really, not when you say the man who wrote the book (or co-wrote) doesn't follow his own advice. He even states that he will take advantage of his tight table image to throw out a bluff. This is not even a bluff type decision, this is a getting ready to be run over by a mack truck, on life support type decision. RED ZONE.

Everytime you've watched Dan Harrington on TV he's always had millions of chips in front of him and has never been in this kinda situation. I'm pretty sure he'd push with the hands he mentioned in his book.

bruce,

I've never played with Dan but I have to say my gut feeling was along these lines. You get in a tournament situation like this and if its important to you money wise you just sometimes take your chances waiting for the next hand hoping to get lucky.

Not sure if that makes sense.
