I'm interesteed in what ranges you guys put him on... cause i make that raise pretty often at these levels.


And i get called by low PP's and A-low alllllllllll the time.

I don't think it matters much whether you move allin or fold. I wouldn't feel confident enough to argue with anyone who made one play over the other.

You mean these buyins (not blinds)? I guess that's an AA-QQ (maybe AK) raise at a table that has shown to be donktastic and will find at least one caller/re-raiser. I guess you never know though, as I saw someone open push from EP about 3k with BB=50 and AJo.

IMHO, he's very likely to have a PP here, and he's unlikely to have AA or KK. This makes play with AK really easy, and play with 88 rather difficult. I definitely fold the AK, and probably call with TT+. If he does it frequently, my calling standards go way down to AJ+, 88+ or so. Not sure if that's right, but I'm pretty certain that villain holds 22-QQ about 80% of the time here, although it's hard to say if it's more likely to be 22 or QQ.

yea i meant at that buyyin.

And i do it with AJs+, TT+.

Not everytime, but often enough.

Much, much worse hands call.

As for your hand Fnurt at these buyins i'm all in immediately.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think he meant to raise to 225 on the side number board and accidently hit a zero, or am I the only one that ever does that? It seems to happen every so often.

I thought about that after the fact, but who knows. Maybe it's some Internet version of the shaky hand tell.

I've done that atleast twice... and someone has done it infront of me once. That was sweet.
