two hands from today's $1500 NLH at WSOP

[MLG]

Hand 2. No. You are going to get looked-up somewhere.

Hand 1. I think I check and see. Often I will check jam, and I will also jam a lot of turn cards if it checks through. The only benefit to jamming the flop is that it prices out bad flush draws and JQ and I kind of want to invite those hands to take a stab. I think overall a check is better.

Also...do you have the Qd?

Stupid donkey question: in hand 2, are you hoping that everyone folds or that you get called as a 2-1 dog with a heap of dead money in the pot?

He's hoping everyone folds. In fact, he'd happily give some chips to each player in order to guarantee a fold.

That said, if he's called by a hand like AQo, it's not the worst thing in the world.

Either one would work i'm guessing...ideally everyone folding is what you want, but obviously someone's going to realize hat you're doing and look you up.

I'd take either one, frankly. If I get one caller there's still 1000 in dead money in the pot. That's why I asked-- I haven't run the math on how often it has to fold out / how far behind I have to be when I get called for this to be profitable.

nath,
there is also a real possibility of two callers, depending on how deep everybody else is.

Nobody was deep enough to call with impunity... I think the deepest stack had ~4000, maybe less.

If you're seeing the dead money in the pot, someone else sure will too...especially with your money in there now as well. This is the perfect play...if it works...but also a pretty regretable way to exit the WSOP.

Aren't all plays the perfect plays if they work? I don't care about looking stupid.

Memory is not perfect but I'm about 90% it was Qh Qc.
