XxTabiasxX is a dick in the chatbox. He called me a fish after he called my push with JJ and my KJ sucked out a straight on him. On another table we were both playing at the time, I told him to take his bad beats like a man and stop being suck a whiney little turd. Two minutes later I pick up JJ from MP with him on the BB. I type some trash talk into the chatbox and push. He calls with 99 and rivers the third 9. I haven't heard anything from him since.

Anyway Tabias, stop sucking at life.

Oh, and without reading his argument, I'm going to guess it's some crackpot justification for why the call with AT was a bad idea getting 2:1 on your money against someone pushing a lot of hands.

Hah. Okay. Thanks. =)

As big stack, I'd be kind of indifferent here between a fold and a 70-30 advantage. Either way is good for me (although losing the 70-30 isn't so great).

I don't understand how you could even be indifferent. With the blinds this high, how much better of an opportunity are you waiting to have?

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh? We're talking about the big stack here. Opponent folds, I get some chips, and the bubble continues. Opponent calls, I have a good shot at getting more chips, but then the bubble would end, and meanwhile I could lose chips also.

I understand that we're talking about the big stack. I don't understand being 'indifferent'. I am begging for him to call, and I am DEFINITELY begging him to call if I know he has A10.

[/ QUOTE ]

Jeez, guys. Fine, here's the math.

Folds, you win $750.

Calls, you are 70% to win 1510, and 30% to lose 1260, equals $679.

Still like the call?

I see your point. But if he calls an loses you are ITM. Granted you will not bust out forth here more or less no matter what.

But your right, I don't like the call as much anymore.

Edit: I guess I won't be too inflamatory. Let's just say I'm not fond of Tabias' chat.

I am really a nice person...Also, you'd be suprised how whining can make the people who just lucksacked my chips from me donate them right back. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Also, you'd rather not be in the money quite yet, to continue exploiting the bubble. (Although it'll burst soon anyway.)

I really didn't get upset at all honestly man. I think I was more frustrated because you seemed so sure of your strategy and I didn't get it. Combine that w/ your good play through the SNG, it made me re-think what I was saying for sure. Although, I still think I'm right. =)

If I had it my way, I would never get called on the bubble again. If I have the big stack on the bubble and people are willing to fold to death, PLEASE dont let thhem call me at all unless it is my AA against A2 or some [censored]. Like I said, i'd much rather pushbot the table to wherre I have 8k chips than take the 6k chips now.
