Strange call by Roothlus
 

This is the 2nd hour of the $20r. I think it is right for this forum. Is a reraise of a tight early position raiser now assumed to be a resteal with junk?

If by strange you mean 'bad', then yes.

Re: Strange call by Roothlus
 

not a good call on his part, but not really horrible either, your overbet looks like 88-JJ a lot, and he can afford to make the call here

Re: Strange call by Roothlus
 

Shove is fine, call is questionable at best

What? No this is a terrible call.

Re: Strange call by Roothlus
 

fwiw Roothlus has been gone the last few months. Looks to me like he's a little rusty.

Re: Strange call by Roothlus
 

Ian, wtf that sounded really racist. he's prob rusty but vs a lot of people I don't mind this call esp at 20r if He was CO and you were a blind I think his call should be standard since people have adjusted properly from shoving any Ax to shoving hands that are likely to be live. And make of these hands are Kx and Qx and this calling with KQ is much better then people realize.

Also, I think 20r has new blind structure so that means at 100/200 theres no antees so I hate the call obv a lot more but with antees and move each of them back a spot or two and this call is +EV.

Re: Strange call by Roothlus
 

sorry if it sounded racist, he made a post on p5's stating he was at a jewish summer camp and hadn't played in months.

I am not a racist, I just say what I hear.


*edit

So I worked at a Jewish sleepaway camp instead of going to the WSOP

But he didn't raise from CO. It is real unlikely I have Qx/Kx. More likely 88-QQ or AK/AQ. I really don't think you should assume I would be straight restealing here.

Does Ruthlus know your game? He probably gave you a much wider range that included some typical resteal hands when you are rarely/never pushing those here.
