Is Harrington wrong here?

[curtains]

I think it was just lazy editing on his part and he meant allin. If he didn't mean to go allin, then its irresponsible of him to just put the hand in the book without any explanation as to why he would prefer raising 60% of his chips instead of just moving allin to begin with.

So in either case, there is some kind of error that was made.

i cant really imagine what he was thinking here. obviously hes not folding at any point... so maybe he is thinking that a smaller bet will give someone the illusion of fold equity and they might come over the top with a weaker holding? i dunno. "its a PUSH"

Betting 600 or going all in is pretty much the same. You're not going to fold, when you bet 600 of 1070. Not going all in but betting 600 is more scary for the other players. They know he's not gonna fold the other 400, so it seems he has a real powerhouse and actually wants other people in the pot. This bet seems stronger than an all in, I think.

i respect a big raise more than an all in, late in sit n gos short stacks have a tendency to min raise w/ big pairs increasing the chances of getting called.

I don't think it's simply an error since he even explains why it is correct to call your remaining 400 when the BB pushes on a bricked flop.

I guess he's just saying that your chips are going in anyway, so perhaps that raising and leaving yourself a small amount behind is scarier than just pushing all-in, so you might actually have more fold equity that way. I could see that if you were playing in person and had shown you were a solid player, but online, when I see that sort of crap, unless I have a read otherwise I assume the other player is an idiot.
