5 pages and nobody noticed that Villain made 2 gaybets in a row?

So it's all just read-dependent on what the gaybets mean.

Monster (set of JJ or TT most likely)==fold.

Draw (blocking bet, less likely in my mind, KQ?)==shove.

Anything else (TPTK, QQ, etc, he just wants a cheap showdown, or a pure bluff)==shove.

So Degen's cards barely matter at all and his play is fine *if* the read is there which is why "solid regular" doesn't really help. In a vacuum I'm not real sure Villain is going to make two blocking bets in a row but who knows, I wasn't there.

Also, can we not have 5 pages of debate about "standard" SNG strategy when Degen posts a 530 hand?

If you want to win at the 215s and esp.the 530s you can't always play like the 109s and below IMHO, there is more "real poker", it's like a cross between NL cash and STTs, ICM still applies but you also have to make plays like this from my experience there (back when I had $$).
