rofl

[vqc]

that 34 hand was ridiculous.

[jmontis]

lol that last guy called with 35, good job.

[gabe]

i probably call on #42 in this situation. ride out the rush!

[Alibi]

wow.

just wow

[dsaxton]

that 34 hand was ridiculous.

I was just trying to steal the blinds. Both the players in the blinds were relatively low in chips, so I was just putting them all-in.

[naturaltan]

you bully LOL
That what I do as well when you get a big stack.

[TazzDad]

This is just the type post that gets some of us less experienced player in trouble. Looking at this site for guidance and support now it appears that an All In with 3 4 is a good play. I has seen alot of this type play also end up in going from Bully to short stack just as fast.

[drmcboy]

What the less experienced should take from this post and the 34 hand specifically is position + chip stack > cards. Cards just break the ties.

4 people were left. only top 3 pay. the big stack should be pushing any two cards that aren't complete trash.

[DrumzCT]

I played a 3table at UB (that i just noticed they had) and when it got 4 handed I went nuts. I just kept raising cause the other 3 guys were afraid of the bubble. I played almost every hand with absolute crap and kept raising (intelligently raising of course) One guy said to me, AFTER he folded "You know I hit the flop, why do keep rasing." I just said "If you know you hit the flop why do you keep folding?" I love the bubble.
