Looks pretty silly to me.

Analyzing a hand like this as a singular, independant event may lead to the 'this is silly' conclusion. But I think if something like this is used as an element of part of a bigger game plan it can be good and dangerous.

The thing with these overbets is setting a good range. Once prahlad calls and sees you are capable of something like this, then he'll open up the range of hands that he calls a bet like this with. You should also expand the range from only air and only v strong hands to hands in between.

I think calling this 'silly' is incorrect. In context (KKF and Prah. have been playing a lot of heads up) this seems reasonable.

He already calls him in these wierd spots... Not sure if you saw the AA hand on the 10qx q board.
Best I can guess at is KKF senses that he's a bit smarter from the call and needs to reopen that play...

That hand was way different.

why? you really think as a player your going to notice the different when you got 20 seconds to decide in the next tought overbet spot.

I have yet to read a single thing from your posts that makes me think my response is anything but spot-on.

BTW, what on earth makes you think KKF has played Prahlad a lot HU?

[/ QUOTE ]some hands were posted with kkf and arb hu, but I'd hardly consider it a TON of hu play.

I wasn't asking about him playing arb.
