Agreed. Though I did get a good laugh out of Q2.

Bold move if you wanted his 50¢ by risking $4 with a possibly dominated hand. This bullying needs a purpose, such as setting up action for you later. I just hope that later on when your image is where you want it, that you don't bet $4 on AJ.

You're just asking for variance by racing with a hand your opponent was kind enough to tell you was probably behind. This is NOT a cash game move. This is a tourney move all day long.

Was there some indication he didn't have the ace, or did you just not care if he had it or not?
