The only hand i didnt like was the 4-5s call out of the bb although it is arguable. Otherwise, it was ok.

You either raise this hand pf, or fold it #18 fold that shit Played well overall.

You either raise this hand pf, or fold it #18 fold that shit Played well overall. #14 so the call would be ok with a more passive oponent? #18 T4o is not a good hand, but I would probably go with any hand to try to take him out at that point. Wrong?

zenbitz View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries Join Date Jul 2004 Posts 2,859	Overall OK. The raise with T4 was fine, he pretty much has to call with anything, but he might not realize that and make a mistake and fold. I don't really like 45s limp. I'd rather not see a flop with 5-high even suited and connected. I like to raise maybe 70-80% from SB. Doesn't really matter what the cards are in the 20--30% you limp, you are just trying to be deceptive. It seemed like (from SB) you generally raised your good hands and limped your bad ones. Predictable, but it wasn't a very long match, so whatever.

Only hands you should complete the SB with once the blinds get this huge are monsters if you think villain will raise back.
