JMoney2681 0 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 yeah because we're all in nowgeeeeeze.When did being all in have anything to do with this? If someone had AA or KK and you held 22, you would be a 4 to 1 underdog, preflop. Without having anything to do with someone being all in? Where did you get that one from? I'm just saying that in most cases, calling raises in early stages of tournaments with small pairs is not such a great idea. Link to post Share on other sites

Without having anything to do with someone being all in? Where did you get that one from? I'm just saying that in most cases, calling raises in early stages of tournaments with small pairs is not such a great idea.because if we are not all in we can choose to fold post flop or get more chips when we hit a 2. Without knowing how deep the stacks are and no reads on players in pot, you have no idea if calling 130 in a 240+ pot is bad. If you do, then you are too tight or don't undestand implied odds. We need at least stack sizes before calling anyone a fishEdit:ok..I re-read.we are given stacks,.My god this is an easy call preflop, even after the raise.seriously. Link to post Share on other sites

This is where we only speak Ultra-Tight play and bankroll management. We don't like your kind here, brining reason to a thread where we post to try to feel better about ourselves at the expense of others. Link to post Share on other sites

Merby 3 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 This one made me laugh.$3 rebuy tournament, 2000 starting chips, very first hand blinds 10/20.Can't remember the exact details but i limped with 22. Theres a couple more limpers and the someone raises to about 150. I call and catch my 2 on a K high flop. We get it all in and the raiser loses the whole stack with AK and doesn't rebuy. A few moments pass before i see "n.ob, how can u call that raise. Learn to play poker". I don't know why but for some reason this made me burst out laughing.The bolded portion of the quote is yet one more reason to justify calliong the raise with 22... In a rebuy tournement --if you have the capital-- your goal during the rebuy period is to amass a large quantity of chips. What could be better than a small pair and the "set it or forget it" strategy especially against a strong hand (improving your implied odds of getting paid off when you hit). On another note, my favourite fish quote comes from anyone who posts genuine strategy comments in a *toungue and cheek* "you know you're playing a fish when he says..." thread. For example, the fishiest comment I read in this thread was the following:The bolded portion of the quote is yet one more reason to justify calliong the raise with 22... In a rebuy tournement --if you have the capital-- your goal during the rebuy period is to amass a large quantity of chips. What could be better than a small pair and the "set it or forget it" strategy especially against a strong hand (improving your implied odds of getting paid off when you hit).Notice how he misspells the word "calling" (in bold). And who uses the word "amass"! Seriously... this guy has some serious issues... Man, if you're going to give strategic poker advice, one would hope you have a basic grasp of grammar and are capable of posting in the strategy forum!General forum vultures make me sick: Go visist Strategy for *****'s sake!Cheers,Self-depricating Merby Link to post Share on other sites

Ive seen lots of players say sorry. Some guy rivered a set of Ks against my As earlier and said 'sorry' does that mean he sucks too?sound like your just pissed about the beat Link to post Share on other sites

sockrolid 3 6 0hhhh 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Last night in a 3-6 limit game at the local cardroom I was sitting next to a young lady who would not stop talking and could never understand why she was not winning, on one hand however it was a four or five way pot capped with three or four people all the way down and she ends up making a straight on the river against two sets and she didnt even have the st8 draw until the turn. After the hand when asked why she kept calling with nothing she said that she wouldnt of sucked out if she had hit her str8 earlier and it would have save here alot of time Link to post Share on other sites
