first off - mods if you dont think these hands are suited to HSPLO then please move the thread. I figure as it is essentially a $100+ tourney that this is the place for the thread.

Anyway - onto the hands the first hand is one that played out at my table but I wasnt involved in but I did find it pretty interesting as it involved rubenrtv and knowing how sick good of a player he is I didnt think I was right to be questioning his play, however, thoughts on preflop and more interesting for me thoughts on his flop play? BTW - 18 paid and there are 21 left at this point.

--------------------------------

The second hand involves me and we have just burst the money bubble, I call in position pre and flop decent and the PF raiser goes ahead and pots it into me. He had been playing pretty aggro and using his stack around the bubble and latter stages pretty well. My thoughts - if he has flopped the nuts why would he pot it? If he has flopped the 2nd nuts, would he pot it for value like that? I was pretty much thinking in this spot he either has the nuts or else has the lone ranger and is trying to force folds. am i levelling myself too hard here?

call and call/bet any turn

I would never fold.

1st hand- just cuz he's a good player, doesn't mean he didn't play this like a total muppet (which he did).

2nd hand- im in the c/c, c/c category.
however, considering what abc straightfoward clowns most tourni players are i might fold if i was a nit. and being a nit is good in tournis so idk.

i really hate villain's bet unless he had exactly a set + nf blocker.

1st hand is pretty bad. 2nd hand I would not fold.
