Strange Hand - Live Full Ring $1/$2

[mtdesmoines 3]

I have been lurking here for a long time and have never got involved in the discussions, But I have been following this and have a question.On the flop, when the Hero min-raises, at the 1-2 level, does this not scream to the players holding the sets of a draw? Then causing the QQ and 22 to shove to try and get what they believe to most likely be AdXx off their hand. If the Hero took a stronger stance here, and made it $60 or $75 to go, the QQ may call or still shove, but I really doubt the 22 or the actual AdXx gets involoved at that point, putting at least one if not both on nut flush/top set. And at that point with a 1 on 1 matchup, the calling off of the rest of the stack is a decent one due to the odds headsup.So I think the better question is, before the min raise "Is this a hand I can push/call off with?" If the answer is no, then the fold becomes an easy decision once all the action starts. If the answer is yes, then you play the raise differently, as to try and isolate/win the hand outright then and there.Just trying to take a different view of it all and get some opinions.

You're giving way too much credit to the villains in the hand. At 1/2 live, they're looking at their cards, seeing strength and trying to put money in. 1/2 NL live is the least complicated game you'll ever play. You can play for five years and never be ahead here again with your T high flush.

You have contributed nothing to this thread other than "nitty old men play suited aces" If the right play is so obvious to you, and you don't feel like posting strategic content bc its such an easy fold, don't bother posting. Accept that you are right, I am wrong, and leave your close sided opinions to yourself.

This part is would be at the heart of a really solid post.

This is the only real question. Can we push this hand? CERTAINLY. Can we call it off with 7 all ins in front of us? Never.

.dickheads that disagree with an alternative view, yet show NOTHING to back it up.

dude, you even got a pokerstove showing that when you are live you have 45% equity. Didn't realize you needed a pokerstove to show you the 0 or 0.05% equity you have when you were overflushed, which is about the only piece of evidence missing for the fold argument.I don't understand the rage you have about this. Let's put this another way and give cliffs:Arguments for fold:Careful analysis of action, aggression levels, assessing entire likely ranges, calculated equity vs pot odds, thinking that was anything but results oriented.Arguments for call:

I'm hitting that right button...we have a floooshhhh(oh, i haven't read anything of this thread besides that we have a flush)

Exacary. This is called The Gap Concept

For the love of god, this forum blows. According to NA, it is full of geniuses and gold, therefore all strategic content about any situation has been covered. So in order for me to fit in, I have to suck co ck around here and massage everyone's nuts that agrees with the 'norm'. King James do u have the power to ban me from this so called 'forum' so I don't feel tempted to post anymore of my opinions that are obviously wrong? Because we are only allowed to have one opinion here....as shown by trystero, mtdesmoines.....dickheads that disagree with an alternative view, yet show NOTHING to back it up. I have respected everyone here and have only said discouraging things to others only when provoked. So please......just ban me. Cuz I'm far too lazy to create another account. And I am the devil....so I'm tempted easily.

please don't try and dodge the vulgarity filter.
