Call on flop is fair enough. Call on turn, hmm, I pondered that at the time and concluded it was sub-optimal. I guess it's fairly obvious that BB is playing a high hand only with flop bet and cbet max turn. Possibly he has A 2 5 6 or A 2 4 T or something but I find that unlikely. Anyone holding A 2 2 and hoping to spike a low on the river only has about a 40% chance of making it.
I was writing an essay while playing that hand and wasn't paying attention. How I choose to look at this hand is that I basically shoved it when a 60/40 dog, which is never good.
Remember 4 things tho :
1) This is a HT thread for POKERSTARS 6-MAX HT PLAYERS and HT HANDS
2) "I wouldn't even dream of doing that even if I thought some1 I couldn't stand played horrendously. Just sad really." Hypocrisy at its finest.
3) I have records of many hands you donked in much bigger tourneys when one assumes you were fully engaged. I'm a big believer in reciprocity
4) I don't mind this flaw bring highlighted because I know exactly what I did wrong and how I should fix it. Any highlighted flaws are just a hurry-up to me to maintain concentration and show the field more respect.
Finally (and please don't feel the need to turn this into an extended back and forth), I was never trying to get you banned from the MP or any other forum.
I'm just a free-markets guy that laments the lack of market efficiency in all quarters. The 2+2 MP is a prime example actually - you hold informational monopolies over your investors (some of whom profess no knowledge of OH8). And many sellers have monopolies over the entire market (i.e. they abstractly select their MU, cherry-pick games and series they wish to play, don't mention past performance with likely field, don't give precise breakdowns of past performance throughout each particular variant, stake, format). And now there is a dude who has built a business based on these informational monopolies. Rather than the margin remaining with sellers (which it never should have in the first place), there has been a transfer of wealth away from the marketplace and towards a 3rd party. Once again, those who matter the most. i.e. the INVESTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS, are treated like **** by all those involved. As a matter of principle (coming from a postgrad finance background) I believe it's a fundamental right that shareholders have access to 100% of all available information/edge so that they may make the best possible decisions in what should be a "free market". Such theories of EMH will always be fanciful as they require participation by all parties at all levels of engagement - nobody is fully proficient in every level. Point is I merely wished to share information and make your little slice of the market more efficient for your shareholders because my engagement and knowledge was superior to theirs. I don't expect you to understand finance or ethics though when you say you would never post hands from another player, then do it like 5 mins later? LOL.
