2. he tends to not give his opponents credit for a very big hand when he has a somewhat big hand.

the above is only based on a few days of full table tournament play.

however, i have also seen friends play heads up vs him for a few minutes several times.

based on what i observed of his recent play i would have called.
playing full ring tournaments for a few days (1000 hands?) is probably both not a big enough sample nor the correct game format to draw any conclusions about someone's HSNL HU play.

You are very nice, and we did chat.

Now that I posted about your play, I can't tell you who I am because you could exploit it .

The next time we sit together I will introduce myself.

Re: hand vs mastrblastr 25/50 deep

I tihnk main reason for raising river is to induce a bluff shove, as u cannot really raise for value here unless u r raising in this spot as a bluff thinking mastrblastr is bluffing in this spot and so ur just rebluffing, also for this to happen u need to think he is bluffing in this spot a decent amoutn which i actually think is unlikely. Once you determine tho that he does lead bluff here, then when u raise it shud be so u can rep a rebluff in which case u have to snap call a "rerebluff", if he is leading a10 here for instance trying to rep a bluff as well, then the fact that u can be bluffing here (if u can) means ur value raising range shud be light, which means anything mastr bets the river with shud be able to rebluff shove if ur calling range is only q high flushes, therefore in a vacuum Id flat, but if gameflow, metagame allows him to be 3b bluff shoving river then raising with the intention of inducing is best, but i think the purpose of raising on the river is to turn ur hand into a bluff catcher bc u want him to rebluff u.

You have replied to a 2.5 year old thread that was buried deep in the catacombs of 2+2. How did you even find it.

Yea, no one is b3b the hands in between 57cc and ak
