It'll pick up Dan!

Great work both and nice HHs.

Would definitely like to hear your thought processes on some of them, especially Hands 3 and 4.

I play like that sometimes, but only because I hate the fold button lolol.

I'd complain that the stuff NOT in the spoiler was a spoiler, but the results had already popped up in my damn Facebook newsfeed... The final 3 of Nov 9 STILL hasn't been released on torrents yet... QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

H3: Villains sizing is unlikely to be a T. Dan just wants villain to fold small PP, A high, maybe 9x

H4: Dan hates the fold button

h1 - put him on big pocket pair and capability to fold it

h2 - put him on QJ/99 type of hand and i could have straights or 2pairs or sets in my range and his range is fairly capped

h3 - looked like he wanted cheap showdown and was afraid of the king

h4 - had aggro image, villain was type that wanted to fight about it, his c/r value range very narrow and he prob c/c sets to let me barrel instead of c/r given dynamics anyways

edit: sorry for main event spoiler

Were you expecting him to c/f turn often in H4 or did you have some sicko turn+river ideas?

    Nh. I think that for determining the winner by vote in the end, it's best if you both don't post the hand you want to use, but PM them to me and I'll post them both, so people can make unbiased votes not knowing which hand belong so which player?

    If you agree, it's probably wise to not post the sickest call you've made until you make an even sicker one, at which point you can post the previous one, etc.

    Sounds like a good plan. As I've said before, Dan is kind of freerolling on this one. Maybe I will get lucky with a misclick down the road

    Once you're almost finished the challenge just drop down to 10nl and start making insane, -EV hero calls with like Queen high. You're bound to be right eventually and the $50 you probably drop in attempting this are well worth the coaching, not to mention additional bragging rights.
