I think folding was the right play....but not by much.

How accurate was the Cardplayer description of this hand?
"Mike Goodman raised from early position only to have Erick Lindgren make a big reraise to $170K. Goodman thought for a couple minutes before calling. The flop came 10-10-7 and Goodman immediately said "all in". It didn't take Lindgren long to call with his J-J. Goodman shows 8-8 and must catch an eight or running cards to make a straight. The turn is a blank and the river is another jack giving Lindgren a full boat." Did you say this immediately, and in retrospect do you think that's what tipped Erick off? How would you play it differently? Thanks, and Congrats! |

I raised from MP and he repopped from the CO. I thought for about 10 seconds before I said all-in on the flop. I intentionally waited a couple of beats. I think the action is what tipped him off, not my speed on the flop.

Edog just wasn't re-raising often - in fact, maybe that was the first time he had re-raised someone preflop at that table?
I was going to be terribly impressed when you check-raised all in (or check/called all in) and showed aces but when you pushed the flop 88 and 99 seemed pretty logical to me also. It was the first hand that you played where I had a decent feel for where you were... |

yeah nord, i know. I do think his reraising range for me there isnt tight though. I think it certainly includes AQ and maybe AJ. i really should have just folded anyway in retrospect and started restealing like a mofo. I think the line I took narrows my hand down pretty tight, which of course doesnt matter if he has AK/AQ and i win the pot there, but all things considered that means when I call pre I need a good flop and him to have overs. not a great gamble.

Mike, hate to bump this and bring up (potentially) painful memories but I didn't see this the first time around. If his range is JJ-AA, AQ and AK isn't checking the flop almost certainly correct? Your hand was obviously transparent and allowed him to play perfect poker. Hell, I wasn't watching for all that long when this hand came up, and I had a good idea of what you had. But, if you check here do you think he puts you in regardless or takes the free card? I know EDog's got an aggressive reputation but I also saw him make some nice checks. Was that what made you decide you had to push? Or did you plan to stop and go and went with it? Also: never trust someone doing Sudoku at the poker table. |
