c/r is sexy awesome with sauce's image at the tables, how does techno play stats wise, and does he make big plays at pots?

This maybe be true but I find it hard to believe that Tech is value shoving a worse hand here.
Also this would be a pretty crazy bluff...

Re: 3/6- confusion vs technologic
 

Yeah I like the check raise for pot control, i can imagine techno thinking sauce is pushing him around because his range is weak and go call/call, which makes me seriously weirded out by his raise. I call.

Re: 3/6- confusion vs technologic
 

tech has 77 or 88 wayyy too often of the time here to make this a call imo.

This is such a horrible mistake on tech's pot not raising the flop with a set though because of pot control, right?

redgrape, what the fk are you talking about? is this some hilarious in-joke?

Re: 3/6- confusion vs technologic
 

^ no.

and why do you have to get your stack in the middle? if you haven't noticed, your hand did not improve over anything other than 78

Re: 3/6- confusion vs technologic
 

It has a lot to do with metagame stuff tho. If tech has been calling a lot of flops and betting turns against sauce, he could decide to play a set this way cause he thinks it'll get sauce to put more money in.

Especially since tech is a nit, he's not gonna raise the flop for value a lot cause sauce knows tech is a nit, so he could lose value from like AT and AJ by raising the flop, but sauce could be convinced to put more moeny in on the turn.

I'm a lot spewier than tech is, and I'd just call this flop against sauce too. There's so many hands that sauce will just dump to a flop raise that it just seems smarter to try to build the pot on the turn.

Re: 3/6- confusion vs technologic
 

Also, tech would just call any worse Ace to the turn c/r cause he's not getting value from anything worse by shoving. So he has to bluff catch on the river.

I mean, I'd prob stack off here in the heat of the moment, but looking at the hand now it seems really obvious that AK is not possibly the best hand.

Re: 3/6- confusion vs technologic
 

Actually forget about metagame stuff, I think it's just poor practice to be raising a set on this flop. You have such a better chance of getting more money in on the turn than on the flop
