Persuade your backers to play ME-H with your winnings?

Well the check/call on turn two thirds pot bet oop against PartyPSux on 39Qcc3 with pocket 2s was certainly ambitious. He had to first be correct and if correct, then dodge a minimum of 12, but more likely 18 or 21 outs. Not a good spot to execute chips imo.

benny spindler played starcraft 1 or 2 im guessing (due to his avatar)... teamliquid.net (famous starcraft forum like 2+2, except 2+2 is Poker) so elky, benny spindler, rekrul.. and much more!! play sc1/sc2...

and JC alvarado on the same FT :P

can very well be some timing / sizing read.

And if PartyPSux doesn't vbet river thinly enough / isn't capable of 3barreling it's pretty much same to have 2's compared to Qx/9x (well more combos obv for Qx if he doesn't have one) but still I'm sure he had he's reasons there.

Nice bet call w AQ sir.

Sick!

Just creamed my pants^

nice sweat you guys have

Can't wait for the FT replay to see this hand:

what is europeans shoving range??? AQ+ and 99+??

It is completely different from Qx/9x because in addition to Alvarado having more combos as you mentioned, he has to fade 25 percent equity(more likely 36 percent + equity) even if 22 is currently the best made hand. Further, I don't get your point about him not being able to vbet river thinkly enough because his turn bet's value range is KQ+(never betting a nine w/ this stack depth and two shortys w/ 1/3 of PrtyPSux and Europeans stacks). All KQ+ hands are definitely value betting river as well.

Damn, seriously regretting pulling out on the 1% reserve I had of this. lol

Good luck European!!! Ship it

wooo such a sick sweat

I agree that it's spot where ppl usually check back hands worse than Q with good kicker but if he's good he will bet turn some% of time with JJ/TT/big nine keeping his valuerange wider so he can bluff more and protect against draws.

€urop€an checks river really really often when turn goes bet-call so he has the option to check back some of his range and bet big hands / pure bluffs (didnt this time). €urop€an is like never check raising turn on that board so I much rather keep the initiative. If his turn checkback range is mostly give ups / weakish value hands river play is tough against good opponent like in this case.

Edit: I understand the point / case for potcontrolling (IMC yo) but if you check back turn you're probably facing a bet on river pretty often on river which makes your life hard with weakish range.

English is not my native language so not really easy to explain my though process here.

I hope 2012 comments his though process during this hand. Pretty interesting spot / line.
