you need to stop concentrating on your OPPONENTS play and look at your own.

For the love of God, and for the last time, I got an opponent to call as a 3 to 1 underdog , getting about 1.2-1.3 to 1 pot odds, for about 75% of his stack, and you are criticizing this as a bad play ???
What do you consider a good play ?? Really.

You are in a headsup freezeout. The blinds are 1/2. You and your opponent each have 1 million in chips. Your opponent says "if you go allin I will call with any pair, and fold anything else." You go allin with 33. He calls with 22 and you win. Good play?

And there is no justifying hand 1. Limping with 8 BB is so bad, but then calling half your stack in a raise. What if the flop comes 235? A74? Are you just folding? What if it's A74 with one diamond? Call for running diamonds? So very awful. It puts me on life tilt that someone like you has a 6 figure cash and still plays hands like this. F poker.

Try reading the whole thread before you make accusations. I admitted the first hand was a bad play (because villian had great pot odds, and calling 800 more was only 7-8% of his stack) and only posted it to contrast the the second hand which is almost identical, BUT was played with a bigger "M"'s and nearly identical stack sizes, and almost even money pot odds.
Honestly, the more and more I think about this, the more and more I think its not only a good play, BUT a great play.
It seems like most of you would've called or at least entertained one. The next tourney I play, I'm shoving and overbetting the pot like hell when I flop the stone nuts. Hopefully, I'm sure one of you will call with underpair or AK high.
