In all cases I am correct. You cannot expect to steal enough blinds to make up for this AND factor in the times that he may pick up a big hand and fight you and find this is +EV.

I do not agree with this play. Personally, I think it's terrible. But maybe you have your (somewhat twisted) reasons. Everyone plays a different game. I just dont see a good ENOUGH reason to fold these.

My thinking is, if you had 10Js, would you have pushed and told us how great a push you made?

You are not going to boss most players around ITM, ever.

I know what you're saying, and in most cases you're correct, you cant boss as much ITM. But in this case i was sensing the middle stack was playing for 2nd and the small stack was't getting involved at all.

My instincts proved to be correct. When i carried on hammering at the middle stack he kept folding and ironically ended up busting 3rd, leaving an easy heads up with me and shorty.

So yes, i am a genius [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ahhh...results oriented thinking, the mark of a truly great poker mind.

Not at all. It's all about knowing your opponents, getting inside their heads and realising how desperate someone is to not bust out 3rd. The few chips i gave up on this hand pales in comparison to the amount of blinds i was able to steal off the middle stack.

No, while there is a short stack involved i hold MUCH more folding equity then i do if it goes heads up there and then.

That is clearly -EV.
Or you made an horrible play or you wasted time that could have been spent playing poker faking a stupid hand history.
Actually now that I think about it, judging by the way you play I think youre better off faking hand histories than playing poker.
