    Posted

    Match up 1 - Hachem, think he probably has the edge and in recent years has played more events iirc?Match up 2 - Ferguson, sure he will play a lot more events than Barry G, a lot more of the 1500 type eventsMatch up 3 - Reitman, I flipped a coin and did not win.Match up 4 - Deeb, IDK why, just seems to have bigger online scores from what I remember.

    Your hand strength may be hidden by "calling to peel the flop" as you say but you're still oop and flops that you connect with xKx etc aren't too likely to get much more than a c-bet from a competent villain. Our hand here stands to be better than the vast majority of his opening range...
    Perhaps I look at it totally wrong, but the villain is rarely going to fold to this 3bet pre.So lets say he calls, the flop is 7 high. Now what? Or Qxx? I think increasing the size of the pot oop with a hand like KJ warrants more problems on later streets. What do others think? Its good to get other opinions on this, from what I have read / watched / learnt from playing HU myself is playing large pots oop is not how you win, although I admit my experience is not that intense.

    lolz, since when is 3-betting KJs HU preflop very spewy?
    I wouldn't take this line, you instantly escalate the size of the pot when you are out of position. I'd rather call and peel the flop off when this deep, your hand strength is totally hidden by doing this. Tehtoe - care to explain what is wrong in my strat here, rather than saying 'lol'?

    In this tournament style... how much value would be in check calling the river if he only bets say 600, and you save 300 though you lose the hand to, say, a flush... is their enough value in those 300 chips (since it's actually a 600 chip difference in terms of you're not only losing them but he's gaining them) to make a difference in your decision making for the tournament beyond that hand?
    By check calling 2/3 your stack you are going to be 99% confident you have the best hand in this spot. Which if this is the case a check / shove or open shove the river are the two best options.Note there is more than one draw out there, KQ is also a very likely hand in this spot especially at this buy in level. Depending on the villains style, I'd like to either check snap, or time for a little while and bet a smaller amount (say 300) inducing KQ to donk shove over the top. You will lose value by simply shoving or checking. I think the smaller river bet will get him to call with a 10, and sometimes over shove with KQ. Either way if he has hit his flush you can't avoid it, but you can increase your EV when he misses KQ or had A10 etc.Edit: the re-pop pre is very spewy

    I've been twice and have done a small percentage of the things I intended!Mystere is good at TI, thats the only show I have seen :ts Poker at Caesars is fun, dealers are a good laugh.Fix (Bellagio) is nice for a drink and some food, avoid Caesars for food (most of it sucks).Watch Fountains at least once every other day, they are simply amazing.And if you want to get off the strip head over to South Point for their bowling / cinema and 1$ on all drinks promotion :club:
