So those loose players can take stabs at that board with crap but jman couldn't try a simple cbet with QQ? Okay so the sample size is too small obviously but when you get only a few hours to play at least loosen up a bit and be a bit more aggressive against known donks with your good hands.

i dont know why the live players cant understand that Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is not a good hand on a K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] board

i don't know why you ineternit players can one post say that you'd love to get in a hand with farha then when your hero dumps a solid hand against him fearing that he is beat suddenly farha deserves to be folded to. make up your mind.
obviously .. the only flop he can bet is one below a q and one that wouldn't be suited or connected. obviously... all of us live donks have noted this. scary flop = don't bet. fold to any bet. gotcha
you play after the flop .. you play after the flop.
don't you get this?
or is poker really just a lottery. seems the internit game is about only making safe plays.
it's funny though.. i see so many posts around here about complex situations where you actually put opponents on "ranges" ... and you bet. and you try to figure out what your opponents raise might mean. do you remember ever seeing these sorts of posts? yet jman releasing on the turn seems to be viewed as the right play. seems a little fishy to me.
who comes across as less skilled here.. you or i?
i'd say you do.
i agree that the suited k high board is a scary board. by checking the flop you make it even scarier.
he claims in his trip report that he brought 200+ k for the 100k game. if he calls sammy and sammy pushes on the river.. if he chooses to fold why not just put the other 100k on the table.
both he and all his fans on this board believed he could outplay all the live donks... so what's the problem.
i'm sure he'd play differently against lesser opponents. that's why some say that he played like a scared doe in headlights.
do you think sammy checks that flop? DN .. do you think he checks that flop?
