Default Re: (109) Bubble Fun with Raptor

it appears as though i go against the grain in most of these, but i suppose it can go either way as is often the case. i wont fault anyone for calling. icm clearly states that its -ev to call here, however i dont hate a call. i folded because i felt that big blind was going to call with any 2, and im willing to let him do that then start shovebotting to get back into the game if needed.

the reason its -ev to call should be obvious. bb isnt coming along for the ride unless he has something like JJ+ or AK. it would be very foolish to do otherwise. buttons range is probably smaller than most would presume because he isnt awful and knows hes very likely getting called by the bb. i made this adjustment and thought it leaned more towards a fold. holla

Geez... I fold here without a whole lot of thought.

Funny that my answers for both AQ hands are the opposite of the prevailing opinion.

Perhaps it's time for me to consider that instead of being a really good player running a bit cool... I'm actually a crap player on a sick 5-year heater.

C'mon guys. You assume a) pusher doesn't push crap, and b) BB will call with almost any 2 if you fold, which means you either call and flip for your stack or fold and have a good chance that the BB will bust. Even if he doesn't bust you can still take the flip later. Easy fold.

I wasn't being smug, I was being serious.

I just busted out of the WSOP Circuit tourney at Bally's nearing the money and this was my version of self abuse.

Ironic that it comes off as me being an smug, arrogant, prick... thereby making my attempt to publicly punnish myself far more effective than I ever intended.

I was just messing about, you come off as the humblest of men...what you SHOULd worry about though is that I also agree with you about these two hands. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

P.S. Sorry to hear about your bubbling.

i think this has to be one of the most insanely marginal decisions, its kind of akin to making a post on whether or not to choose heads or tails, maybe the reasoning behind the decision is helpful for improvement in this case but the actual decision pretty much makes no difference.
