Thoughts here are Todd's raising again his range could be pretty much anything, to be honest I didn't give him much respect for a monster, I'm not getting overly excited about my A4s but I playing Todd more than the cards, works for once

I have odds to call and play for set value here, I can win about 15x the chips I need to call. Only reservation is that Detroit may not stack off as readily as the "average" player if I hit my set. No set on flop and a crappy flush draw = no bet.

If DH didnt have the goods there, that was a strong c-bet with that flop.

Hmmm....figured with a bigger cbet , closer to the pot it would look like i have a hand but am protecting from a FD

This is probably pretty interesting. I call his raise pre because like I said before, I have been very tight vs. him as he has position on me. So calling was an attempt to float him as I think I have a lot FE against him. Flop seems like a standard cbet to me so I was debating on whether to push over his cbet or fold. He checks...wtf?? He has to have a monster right? Btw I include any 7x hands as a monster haha. So honestly I think I am beat before seeing the turn. I get my 3 on the turn but it doesn't really matter to me. I really think I am crushed by now and have no business in continuing so I check. If he bets, I assume I'm crushed, if he checks behind I may be able to call some river bets. I fold and he later PMs me what he had.

Was this a GF? Table seems too big to push from this early.

These two at it again, both the most aggressive and my opinion the best two at the table at present, mind Bjs and th both have struck me as very decent players, Bjs doesn't seem to be making many moves. Interesting that Taipan bets the turn esp after his flop bet with the set of AA few hands back.

Now this hand was really interesting. Preflop is standard. On the flop, I checked behind because I was pretty sure that if I bet the flop kmind would think I was c-betting and might raise me off the hand. By betting the turn instead I wanted it to look like I was slowplaying and now realised it was time to get some chips in. I love it!

Nice. Wonder if he underestimated my hand, thought with my stack I was stealing. *** Later note, gave this more thought, even with myself putting me on a range thats a good call. At the time I just didnt believe he could put me on AX lower than him,but figure in PPs and a little bit for bluffing and those odds are good.

6 handed A 10 is a raise for me, standard 3x raise. Bjs shoves for 662 more meaning I have to call 662 to win 1974, which means I think I need to be right about 33% of the time, I think I'm not great with any of those things, either way it's pretty much an insta call for me, even tho Bjs has been tight, putting a range in stove of 66+,ATs+,KJs+,ATo+,KQo, which may be wide but again he's short he can't keep folding, I'm 41% against that range, tighten it up somewhat more to a real tight range of 99+,AJs+,KQs,AJo+ im 34% so I think it's a good call. Awkward spot I guess but pretty standard imo.

Push here, if I call then I've got a pretty decent hand to hopefully suck out, however I want to take the 225 blinds in this desperate time

I actually thought about whether to call this. Skeeno is almost certainly shoving ATC here given he's short, I just wasn't sure how well Q4o would fare from an ICM perspective, if it's +EV I suspect it's thin.

loose, but with BB sitting out... Taipan was tempted to shove over, if he did I couldnt call. With less chips I wouldnt try this.

Ugh now I really should have shoved over here, I thought about it for a bit, but what put me off was that bjs was raising from EP. If he had raised from one more spot along I would have instashoved.

Jack was sb (sitter whole game) , and Kmind was sitting out in the BB , figured it was a good spot for a EP steal , should get respect being UTG+1 raise

Dunno, think raising any A here is fine, but I'm dominated by any A or PP with his resteal... I think his range is wider than that, but not enough to risk it when I dont need to.

This hand is a real fun one, Bjs has been pretty quiet and makes a 2.5x raise, now I'm not even thinking about his cards to much just whether I can get him off a borderline hand, folding is ok I guess but I opt to play mad and shove my 84s lol, I think in this situation he's in a tough spot to play for his stack and hence has to have a monster i.e 99+ AQs+ either way I'm glad he folded

I could shove here on Taipan and probably should have however I think he calls with any two cards. T8o against any two is 52% so it's probably a shove, so another bad move from me

I'll take it!

th shoves from button, Taipan's call is bleh borderline for me, I'm sure he worked it out however and is a far better player than me, so I'll say good call. Nice suckout aswell

I think this call was bad. Firstly Skeeno now has >13x BB so Detroit won't necessarily autoshove ATC. Secondly I am in bad shape against a LOT of the hands that he would shove (A3+, 22+). I guess I thought he may be shoving something like KJ or QT or whatever, bad call nonetheless.

[Skeeno]

I'm still in a cold sweat over hand 94

Note I obviously wouldn't attempt that in a normal $5.50 against a calling station.

[kmind]

nh skeeno!

wow, unfortunately I had to sit out some hands due to being somewhat busy off the table and I def. missed some nice hole cards.

Anyways, taipan, I don't like your call in #100. I think he wouldn't do this with a loosish range according to his prior tighter play.

[DetroitHusling101]

Wow my push that was effective 15bbs with JJ was ugly. def standard raise there. LOL i suck with blinds 75/150 because it's not even so i can't easily figure out how many BB we have (unless of course effective stack is 1500 cuz thats obvious) , i must have thought effective stack was between 13-14 because that's pretty out of the norm for me to push 15bbs.

[bjsaust]

Hand 94:

Dunno, think raising any A here is fine, but I'm dominated by any A or PP with his resteal... I think his range is wider than that, but not enough to risk it when I dont need to.

84o!!?? Man, if I put you on that range I insta-call . Nice hand.

Hand 100 was a terrible call with Taipans stack. Not so small he needs to take a chance and not so big he can afford to call loose to pick off loose pushes.

Hehe . . . trust me if you were a donk, there's no way on earth I'd ever make that move. It's more a compliment lol . . . :P

79 - A9 UTG 5 handed with M of just over 6, blinds coming up I'm probably shoving, but I don't think it's a terrible fold.

80 - Meh think this is a pretty standard one, bjs could have painted me as stealing pretty much. I didn't underestimate your hand either bjs, in that spot you have little fold equity so I'm probably behind but I think I have to call.

83 - Only a bigger hand calls pre, so no value gained out of the JJ

84 - Should I be pushing this junk on the button?

88 - Fine push as stated in the notes, what sort of range can I call with here? A10+, JK+ any pairs, knowing that TH is shoving a wide range?

90 - Yeah I'd be sticking it in here.

93 - Am I ever going to get action here? Shoving maybe?

94 - Bleh ...

96 - I should be shoving this right? I'm glad I didn't looking at cards but this is an easy shove vs a shortie.

97 - I probably re-raise with the A5 if I'm bjs in the BB, easy looking at the cards now but sb vs bb, I'm raising it up or at least calling with position, I think we have odds to call here and take a flop, plus bjs has a decent stack to play some post flop poker.

98 - I'm okay about the standard raise here I think.

100 - Hindsight's a wonderful thing but I think a fold's far better 99% of the time, even against a KQ type hand A2 isn't a great favourite and KQ would be a decent result before the flop, any Ace has tai battered ditto a pair. So yeah I think a fold's far better than the call.

80 - Agree this is standard. I did...comment...a bit at the time, but thats because I couldnt work out what Ax you were putting me on. Even if I tell you I believe you have a good hand, and what my range is to shove over, this is a correct call.

96 - In a real game, yes. Knowing that Taipan will think you're pushing wide, and will therefore call fairly wide, a fold isnt terrible. If nothing else he only gets his SB + 15 chips out of folding.

97 - You're probably right, but I have a healthy stack and dont want to mess around with another large stack.

98 - I agree std raise is fine here.

skeeno hand 88 u can call alot wider than what u stated. im not sure exactly but off top K8+Q9+J10+Any pair/Any ace. Given im pushing ATC in this spot everytime im sure it's wider

[DetroitHusling101]

If u know i push ATC in that spot u can call with 44+A2+K7o+K5s+Q9o+Q8s+J10o+J9s+

Decided to run hand 100 through SNGEGT , given TAI should be taking +EV situations with at least .3 edge (since he is best player left) i need to be pushing about 54% here to make this a call. Given skeeno's stack even at friskiest im prob only pushing 20-25% here and more realistically something like 10-15%
