Please post comments on hands 51-75 in this thread.

[dev]

61.

dev really must have been stealing here as he's pretty much priced in to call with anything decent.

This is what I was talking about earlier. When I called a reraise with T7s, the blinds were small and I could play a bit, now mathematical mistakes cost too much, so I have to go with what I think is right. In this case, it did actually hurt my image.

I'm guessing you mean good for me!! lol...

Hand 71:
Good fold zachaser...

Hand 75:
Should I Have shoved here?

[TLR]

54: Sprayed, I think I complete this with ATC, with 6:1 to call

71: I like Zach's fold with AQ to Tai's raise

[Sprayed]

54: Sprayed, I think I complete this with ATC, with 6:1 to call

Was this the 72o hand? Results say yes.

[TLR]

54: Sprayed, I think I complete this with ATC, with 6:1 to call

Was this the 72o hand? Results say yes.

I am sure you were not thrilled to see the flop here,
but even ignoring results for a second, 6:1 are very tempting odds, even with 72

Yes, but I'm like a rock from the blinds. I thought that I was getting 4-1 which is still close, but not with 72o. But that's just me. Have to think about it a little more.

56. Dev - on this table raising 33 is obv fine but in a "normal" game I don't think this move is +EV. Against more calling station type players you can burn a lot of chips if they call preflop and you c-bet the flop and they call again...

57. Zach - I think checking the flop with KK is OK (as is leading as a "c-bet") but I would have made it 500 to go on the turn rather than shoving.

58. Dev - I wouldn't have restolen here, TLR had been playing pretty tight.

60. Paris - perfect example as to why not to call EP raises with AJ.

61. dev - 1.7 to 1 to call Random's push - not quite good enough I think particularly against a tight player.

63. fim - I'd make it 300 not 400 to go, makes it a bit easier to find a fold if any of the players other than K2 pushes over. On this table 300 or even 250 folds every hand that 400 does and saves you some chips if you need to fold.

71. Lesson 101 as to why not to call an EP raise from a tight player with AQo, nice fold zach

73. Sprayed - I would have shoved this hand when folded to on the button. Better to go out in a blaze of glory! Goes for hands 74 and 75 as well.

I understand what you are saying and agree. However, I have no FE what so ever and I'm being called regardless. Why not wait until UTG and shove there? Yes, I'll be going through more players, but I might pick-up a real hand by then. Or, others might bust out by then, not likely but plausible.

Whilst I agree that you have limited FE I wouldn't say that you have zero. Sure, you're going to be called wide, but even from the BB if you had shoved this I'm not getting odds to call with the true crap like 42o or 73s. Plus in Hand 73 you only had TLR and myself to go through to take the blinds and there's always the chance to suck out.

Not to mention that you two are somewhat tight. But, my fear was that you would know that I'm pushing ATC and you could almost call with ATC for the price you were getting.
