    Re: Am I Getting Too Committed With This Over Pair?

    Blatch many on here have learnt to walk away rather than discuss strategy with WCISAFDogs. He has blinkered views and he is the forum antagonist, I'm not even sure if he plays poker :unsure
    Ok i admit it, i tried to work out WCISAFDogs stood for but failed miserable :cry Any help please?

    Calling all ins with small pairs

    Re: Calling all ins with small pairs

    OK, I cant remember the thread but a while back Wasp told me "I had a lot to learn" when I said I wouldnt call an all in for my tourney life with pocket 6's. Two hands by PL chappies over the last week suggests I am the only one who doesnt know this fundamental play. If some one raises all in with 10 bb and its folded round to you in the cut of with pkt 6's you are supposed to call with you 11bb stack. Right? If some one raises all in in the bb into a raised pot with multiple callers during level one you are supposed to call with pkt 7's with 3 players still to act. Right? In both cases neither of the callers are in a critical position in relation to the tourney average stack. I dont understand these plays but if some one has an explanation please let me know. Brian promised to tell me the answer in Vegas but either I was too drunk to remember or he was too drunk to make sense.
    Personally i dont think you can definatly answer either question here. 1st one = Whether you have 11bb or 9bb is rather irrelevant as its your virtual tourney life. Personally I fold here. I think its invalueable to be first in there. However other factors to look at before decdiding on calling with 66 are: - Any idiots at table? Much agreesion i.e. will you see many flops very cheap? Any huge stacks using their stacks? How far off the money are you? Has the raiser been in a lot of pots? All of above + more effects my decision. 2nd one = NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me your joking?? Ok it may be a squeeze but this squeeze play is still quite new to the game. The original raiser may have a monster, a lot depends if he has acted or not. I very much doubt if 77 if ever good here. Insta fold for me. (unless im playing george, then I call)

    DOES NOT COMPUTE, DOES NOT COMPUTE. 9/10 players are not idiots these days, even at the micros.
    I didnt say 9/10 players are idiots, either at this level or not. I know there are some very good players at these limits, and I actually mentioned this in a recent magazine artcile where I tried to plug PL but they edited that bit. I said he was an idiot for playing q7 this way. In the villain's defence some times q7 will be good here, just not againt a good player which is the case here.

    Re: Am I Getting Too Committed With This Over Pair?

    So we call because; 1) Because we know he is shoving his busted draws 2) Because we know he cannot vbet correctly Which? :tongue2 My issue is that from the op we dont know hes shoving his busted draws, we dont know that he cant valuebet properly, but we do know that hes taken a donky-set/boat/monster line. If a player we respected as an ABC tag took this line then we think 'ah boo sucks he has a boat but im getting 4/1 bla so i kinda have to pay him off). Tbh i think that in this case, the odds we're getting and the strength of our hand is a better reason to call than because we imagine (with no proof) that he is shoving busted draws or cant value bet. Also (and this clearly isnt the case with this player) - Bad players imo are generally loose passive rather than loose aggressive the further down the stakes you go. You can save/gain a lot of money by not paying off someone who only raises the nuts...
    No, no, no lol You have this all wrong. We are snap calling because we are well ahead of his "range" of hands he could have played this way. His range for me includes all of the following: - A10 k10 Q10 J10 10 10 - but doubtful 99 88 89 Any 2 hearts Complete Air - but very doubtful Out of all of these hands we are now beating over 90% and therefore its a snap call.

    If we talk about micro stakes in isolation: 1) Would a lot of players at the level realise what betting for value means? 2) Would a micro stakes player value bet top pair or two pair here not realising the second 4 was a bad card??? IMO this is a snap high five the monitor CALL!

    Re: Am I Getting Too Committed With This Over Pair? I cant believe that this many people were genuinely thinking of folding here. The 2nd 4 had to be a good card for you for this exact purpose. The oppo is an idiot for playing q7 the way he has and this just goes to show why 9/10 he will be good here. I was giving the villain credit for being half decent and looking at the range of hands he could have for the way he played it there are more that we are beating than those we are losing too. Still an insta call for me, especially know ive seen the results :-)

    Re: Am I Getting Too Committed With This Over Pair? Insta call here and 9 times out of 10 your good. I very much doubt at this standard he will play 77 this way. I think the real key to ruling out 77 is his flat call on the flpp after your bet and a flat call before him. The flush draw is out and he would more than likely raise here. I would be more worried about a hand such a A4 sooooooted at this level, but your right saying the 2nd 4 should be a good card. Call and collect.

    Scoop 6 Punters Lounge Syndicate

    in At The Races - Racing Forum

    Posted

    Would anyone be interested in creating a syndicate for this weekend only? I would be willing to organise it if it works along the following lines. We have 30 members, each of which are willing to pay £50 to me before Friday night (Funds must have cleared by then). The £1500 raised will then be used to pick 3 horses in each race, or maybe one less or more if enough wanted to in a certain race. All winnings would be split equally between the 30 members. Selecting horses : - Each member can give a 1,2,3 by mid day Saturday and the 3 most popular selections will be chosen. If people dont want a say in which horses get selected then that is fine. If your keen then enter your name to the list. Money can be passed to me by Full Tilt Poker site in $ or via bank transfer. 1. Blatch 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. If enough Interest by tomorrow night then we will see if this runs or not :)
