My read on this guy: kind of all over the place.... I'd say he's average player, nothing special, more on the loose side. I do know that he raised 5x evertyime he was button and I was BB, and stole blinds cuz i got cold cards.


My position was 30/38... top 27 place. So 10 more guys had to be out until the money. I had been getting no cards for a long time and I figured with 5.5xBB i might as well go for it...


comments?

(This was a speed tourny by the way)

Still 10 to go + speed tourney = easy call of the push.

A slower structure or being closer to the bubble could make this a closer decision.

[Lloyd]

Easy push. Not even a close decision.
