few hands from last night

[timmay28]

All 3 of the below hands are from the same $50 buyin:



This hand is on the bubble - 28 left, 27 get itm.

I was itching to make a move and was willing to risk bubbling out. My thinking on this hand was - villian is very likely stealing, as he has attempted to do a couple hands beforehand and folded after a reraise. I figured if I went all-in on the bubble here, he'd figure I HAVE to have a hand.

I was pretty active in blind stealing before I think this guy got fed up and pushed any 2. Otherwise he was slightly aggressive himself but not overly till this hand. If he did have a hand here I'd think it's either any pair or AK-AQ. We ranked 1st and 2nd overall to this point.

At the final table -

Don't have much of a read on villian, just a typical aggressive bigstack

i think you played all three hands fine... reshove on the first one seems standard, have to fold on the second one, and the third one you flopped a monster and the c/r is the best way to get value out of it.

[gibler321]

i agree with marky. i like how you played all 3 hands, folding and raising when necessary. in hand #2 there is no way that you can call. in hand #3 is a great flop for you, and i like the way that you played it
