$109s - A3 Bluff

sorry we disagree. i would rather raise with any 2 than call with air. what are you ahead of here? easy fold, and it's not even close.

If you fold here with A3s at a 55 let alone a 109, the SB will see you are weak and be able to walk over your blinds all the time. It's a must call. A fold is fine against the donks of the 11-33's, but not here.

i play this way on the 100's all the time. when blinds are larger and my stack less manageable, I will pop them right back and make them lay it down as they know I have a hand. I then turn into a pushbot and take down the table. I can see you point in a MTT, but this sng stuff is more about not making mistakes and pushboting your way in. Thats just my opinion. i only have over 2000 as a profitable sample size at the 100's so i might not know what i am talking about

Then stop saying 'not even close' in every one of your posts. You're giving very controversial advice in several posts this month over thoroughly debated issues and then announcing 'not even close'. It's annoying.

I really like how this hand was played, but I disagree with your cards being irrelevant. Improving to trips or two pair is relevant and deciding to check a heart river with a pair as opposed to bubkus has some value. Nice post.

Your lack of understanding comes from not realizing that a profitable way of playing is not necessarily the most profitable way to play. A trained pushbotting monkey could turn a profit at the $100's, an actual poker player who also knows how to pushbot as well can turn a larger one.
