bump. I thought this would get some discussion, if for no other reason than the first hand was, IMO, pretty stupid.

the initial raise is pretty reckless, but not necessarily stupid... after that it all seems ok.

The first one looks suicidal to me at the 22s, but it worked, so there you have it.

The 84s looks very shaky after a limper.

Other than that, I think you were first in the pot with decent hands each time, so those were fine.

Here, the BB was all-in because he couldn't cover the BB. So, I wanted to isolate against the BB to either knock him out, or keep the bubble live and not let the other guy win the pot. Here, I figured I was sacrificing the 395 which I could pick up the next hand with a steal.

Of course, and it's a great strategy until UTG spite-calls you [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

i cant believe you didnt get called!!! hey it worked so i guess it is good right? you had pretty good hands so i thinhk four handed it is not bad on its own but i still cant believe they let you get away with this. if i were the small stack i would have called with almost any two reasonable cards.

Are you talking about a specific hand? As for the short stack calling me, in many of those hands there is no clear short stack.

I don't push the 1st and 3rd. The rest is how I'd play them.

I wouldn't push the first and third. Given that you pushed the first three, I wouldn't push the fourth. Given that you pushed the first six, I wouldn't push the seventh.

I'm not aggressive enough with the big stack on the bubble.
