2/4: AK, A Free Showdown for QTip...

For those that are going to ask, no I don't normal open K9o this early I just lost track of how close I was to the button. FWIW I think this turn raise is a lot closer than the QJ high one.

Could you explain why you think this Hobbs?

Edit: Nevermind, I agree with you now. I'd still like to hear what you think are the most important things to think about when applying the FSD in situations like this though if you could.

Preface: I'm drunk.



The simple thinking on this hand is that is HU situations reasonable players will check/raise top pair + monsters and donk bet draws and shity pairs. Thus (in this hand I was up against a semi-TAG) when decent players gaybet on drawy boards high card hands are so often going to be to good and thus I look to get quickly to showdown.
