Exactly!


OMG there is sooo much fail ITT, seriously people, wtf are you posting here?

Just read the posts here from the green men (and others saying the same obv)

There is no discussion that is valid in this situation, stack size and game dictate the only possible play, which is AIPF

Anyone that does not get that, please go reread HoH and come back and post why you believe Harrington has it wrong.

He has won two World Series of Poker bracelets, including one from the 1995 World Series of Poker Main Event, and he has made it to four final tables in total at the World Series of Poker (in 1987, 1995, 2003, and 2004).

In "Ace on the River", Barry Greenstein says he'll min-raise with aces and a small stack, because he wants action and has the nuts, so isn't scared of anything calling. Every other hand (which includes KK, obviously) is a trivial shove.

Barry's clearly leveling whales with his book.

So if Barry Greenstein min-raises with a small stack his range is exactly AA? Sure that's what he wants us to believe... but if true it's a little unbalanced.

**** like this happens to me a lot playing micro-stakes online. I'm trying to get better playing .11C SnG's, and for example I think I had AKo UTG and there were only 2 guys left, so I 3x bet, and then I get called twice, flop I think was 3KT or something, raised it (can't remember blinds and ****) and got called once, then turn was like a 2 or some **** so I bet again, got called, river was an 8 so I value bet it and I get allin'd so I call and the ****er had 38o. He ****ing called my 3x pre-flop with 38o and hit a damn 8 on the river.

Maybe I played the hand wrong but I just starting playing literally 3 days ago.

It does not matter what your opponents had. I'm getting 7bbs in pre with a hell of a lot worse equity than KK.

WTF is being said in this topic? Some absolute amount of bollocks if I'm honest. Shoving KK with 7bbs is just not up for discussion. As mentioned I'm shoving more ****e than that with 7bbs.

Lol, yeah, because we should hate our opponents calling us down when they have bottom pair / absolute disgusting trash and we have TPTK. Stop being results orientated. Would you rather villain had slowplayed a set or had AA?

Why is this thread still going?

Shove KK with 7BBs.

Next question please.
