I would assume not.

You may use your brain before asking things.

I do use my brain. I spoke w/ villain as we went through his hands after that session and could not for the life of me understand his call. In my opinion it takes a RIDICULOUS read + a little gamble in the blood to make this call. Also my argument was that even if he was right in his read, there are going to be better spots to stack this donk.

Yes, he could wait for a better spot.

But if he knows this guys a maniac then he knows he is a favorite and has pos ev. If he can afford the variance then it's a good call.

I'd call there. I have gamble and its appears to be a clear bluff. Maybe i have too much gamble but hey you only live once. Also, its not typical i normally play the 400 and 600 and have seen this but very rarly.

why post this

I was button on that hand. I was really proud of that call (bash away).

Put him on a complete move with no pair.

I called because I WAS going to fold since I didn't want to lose $400 with AJo even though I stongly felt I had the best hand.

I'm taking all the EV I can get right?

And no this is not typical at the 400's. Maybe on the weekends, but rarely.

edit - I think you really meant by typical was 'what the hell were these people doing'

this call can never be correct

etizzle · #10 06-22-2005, 09:09 PM

why not, it was correct in this case.
