Re: My most interesting main event hand.

This forum has really gone to Hell since the Ansky post from a few years back with durrr and others responding. All the most notorious posters seem to be posting ITT now.

I don't know whether I would get banned in the process but there are a few regular poster here who really shouldn't be allowed to post in HSMTT.

Some people with 100 posts talking about what an idiot I am with no specifics about what they disagree with. I guess my post in really dumb, but no one has explained what is wrong with my analysis.

Re: My most interesting main event hand.

gotta be less likely to spazz in the same way as when he got caught, calling pre with your almost nut call 3bet pre hand (for this situation i mean) seems pretty cool (agree with TT usually only 4balling kk/aa for value). if stack to pot is reduced, isn't being IP way less cool than normal? as played i have no clue, i guess fold turn but def open to other options if someone can show the other options' merits. fwiw i like you betgo

Re: My most interesting main event hand.

1. Euro that bluffs like that and has it shown = possibly less likely FOR HIM to do it again, but waaaaaaaaaaaay more likely than someone you haven't seen do that. STILL A BLUFFER.

2. Pre is stupid close but relative position argument is useless because the SB is an old texan, who the **** cares what he does in this hand its just of no consequence at all to us. I prob flat specifically due to the fact that I've seen him bet without the lead before.

3. Don't you dare raise flop any of you seriously outrageous. He's gonna call and lead turn or something, don't be idiots.

4. its the main event this is why none of you will do well although I'm sure one of you will win it, congrats!

Is this a problem? Not sure I like raising the flop. However, if you raise the flop, it should not be to find out where you are at. If I raise the flop in this situation, it is not with the idea of ever folding.

At level 1 of a slow event with initial soft field (=many hands per level, slow growth of blinds, good winrate at >150bb depth) what do you prefer?

1) 260bb 100% of the time

2) 145 bb 60% of the time or 438bb 40% of the time

Well what do you prefer??? If your wirnate is roughly 0.15bb/hand, sd =10bb/h at these early up to level 8 say situations.

Cant you find another better usage for 145 bb = 50% of your stack all at once or in 4-5 different hands ???

mayb instead of doing this math, you should first learn how to play well enough to achieve such a winrate

Sorry buddy mine is actually 0.2bb/h in soft events when that deep. Playing good enough is why i wouldnt have 4bet preflop and own the loose gambler postflop even raising at flop instead of calling down 3 streets flipping 50% of my stack that deep with a hand that cant improve easily. Pot control, risk control, let them bluff you all day = win with smaller risk. Plus set mining works better with 2 opponents and so does reading them good letting them act on each other and gain info many ways and keep also the bluffer more honest (vs 2 if so) and unaware how strong i am. And of course JJ doesnt need set but you cant be happy creating big pots with overcard and 4bet call range that can be a lot of hands that beat JJ if the guy is manipulating situation and prior image of loose gambler.

Re: My most interesting main event hand.

really surprised by some of the comments/advice I'm reading ITT...flat the 3b pre for the reasons Scott mentioned...as played I'd prob fold the turn..euro doesnt look like he's slowing down on the river and I'm not comfortable calling a huge bet OTR w JJ in this spot in the first level of the ME as most rivers are not making my decision any easier...results?

Re: My most interesting main event hand.

Sad how people complain about free advice....we should be pretty thankful that OP is willing to share this hand with us. Here is a Guy who gets a lot of money to coach and yet he is willing to share his thoughts on a very tough hand and he gives advice to others out of good will

I like betgo too he is one of a handful of 2p2ers who is not an a-hole

People folding the turn should have folded the flop coz he's betting all turns and Jack only hits turn 1 in 22

that i agree with
and i like the 4b pre in this spot

it's the ****ing ME so dont treat this spot like a random online FO and exploid him by folding the flop. sucks with the 56o read but there is not much else to say.
he will not stop barreling since he tries way to hard to win pots, so dont be surprised if he bets the turn again.

Unrealzeal actually posted something intelligent and I would've never known it if Furo hadn't quoted him!

Re: My most interesting main event hand.

After thinking about this hand more I've decided flatting pre is alright, but I think 4betting smaller is the best play.

I really think the euro is more likely to try to make a move in a 4bet pot than 3barrel away at this deep.

Also mastrs obv right, guys a bluffer! I play hand to let him bluff! I think making it 1975 pre is best! (F balance)
