Y...Hi Alan,<BR/><BR/>I don't agree with your reasoning there. You can't just play your draws for huge raises to gain the folding equity and the big made hands (a set for example) for normal raises to try and entice people into calling/raising into you. I think you have to play them both in the same way.<BR/><BR/>If not you'll be very easy to read. Everyone will know that when you raise huge you don't want a call and when you raise smaller you do.<BR/><BR/>I think I would made a very similar raise (either 6K or 7K), and I would have instacalled for sure, getting better than 2:1.<BR/><BR/>At the end you are playing a huge pot on a draw, but coinflipping to be chip leader late in a tournament is not that bad at all. The big prize is always at the top (even more so here where you need to win to get a seat into the ToC).<BR/><BR/>Just my opinion.AnguilAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02730432663394921591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207694267965942223.post-61800837516783073882008-03-04T02:01:00.000-05:002008-03-04T02:01:00.000-05:00I watched the hand from the rail and just winced a...I watched the hand from the rail and just winced at the c/r to 6000, because I had this gut feeling the SF would jam given how he was playing<BR/><BR/>I think a CRAI to 8500 or 9000 would *probably* have worked. But all bets are off if SF read you for a draw and was willing to fade 14 outs (which he ultimately did).Shrikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404058806313927899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207694267965942223.post-9129140192578811052008-03-04T00:43:00.000-05:002008-03-04T00:43:00.000-05:00Hmm.

How high do you need to go? 8,000? 9,000?Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181215527323378978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207694267965942223.post-54911251097751169872008-03-03T13:23:00.000-05:002008-03-03T13:23:00.000-05:00FWIW.. he told me he figured you as much for the ...FWIW.. he told me he figured you as much for the draw, and your explanation of your reraise gave him the FE to jam on you.<BR/><BR/>He was surpirsed you called when you left yourself so much behind to stay with.<BR/><BR/>He was ripping through the pack though, no doubt.Riggstadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724818580402350984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207694267965942223.post-82549132843456350872008-03-03T12:19:00.000-05:002008-03-03T12:19:00.000-05:00NH - Have you made the move up to 5/10 6 max perma...NH - Have you made the move up to 5/10 6 max permanently?cmitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042498440232473004noreply@blogger.com
