Default Re: Vanessa\'s bustout hand

I would rarely fold this hand in the BB to this size raise preflop. She is getting 3-1 pot odds and villain is probably raising 90% of his hands. This hand doesn't do well against a random hand allin, but it is a reasonably good hand to play. Despite the results, you don't usually get into trouble with it. It is not likely to be dominated.

She definately had a skill disadvantage against villain, which is one reason not to play. Also, with the tournament situation, she wants void to bust out first. Void is playing very tight, due to chip situation and because he knows Ka$ino is aggressive and LadyMaverick is over her head. You don't want to get run over by the big stack, but it is probably best to avoid marginal situation like this, and try to let Void bust first.

Postflop, she had the read that Kasino was aggressive and was trying to trap. Her play is not as bad as it looks when you consider the read, and don't know the results. However, she did not play well.
