The example you mention - I haven't seen the video and don't know the context but A4 is the hand I want my opponent to hit when I have 88 on that flop. And that flop is the last one I want to hit if I have A4 and my opponent is in the process of getting it all in. Maybe you should play (where there are situations as well as spots) more poker rather than letting the sim run itself - then you might understand why "everyone" was saying what they said.
lmao
well no **** if you have 88 on an 844 flop ideally your opponent has ace 4- and if you have ace 4 ideally your opponent doesn't have ****ing 88.
thanks for that wonderful insight.before i read your incredible post when i had 88 on an 844 flop i wanted my opponent to have 92 offsuit so he just folds and I don't risk getting 1 outed.
what's tomorrow's amazing lesson from you- 9 is a bigger number than 8?
everyone said what they said because they're idiots who played way too tight back then. it's a complete cooler hand. When I cooler someone I don't think I'm a genius and I don't think my opponent is an idiot.
the funny part is I see all of these weak (not awful) players who feel the need to chime in when someone gets a cooler about how he could have folded the 1% of the time the hand is beat who don't say **** the 99% of the time it's good and they stack their opponent.every single time it's some break evenish player who thinks they're a lot better than they are who swear they run bad.they're always just such ****ing experts when they see all the cards- and miss so much value against god awful players because they're scared of that 1% situation happening to them. of course when they 1% situation does happen they think they're geniuses for saving a little money not realizing how much their chicken **** play has cost them over the years in spots with similar hands.
another good example is when fowler won the main event. he called half his stack on a gutshot draw on the flop against pocket aces, smashed the turn wins the main event and these dildos think the guy should have folded aces.
