early in star turbo 180...doubled up quick and lost race to villan (I had AK and was all in pre vs JJ)...villan was aggressive and liked to get chips into the middle...

Two clubs on board = value bet. I wouldn't even necessarily always price them out, but I certainly would always bet.

MJ...the flat call pre is a new thing for me...is it an okay play?

I think the preflop call is okay, with blinds going up so fast sometimes you have to take a little greater risk to get a larger stack. I also would have bet on the flop though.

People are absolutely retarded in this. I think pushing preflop or on the flop is absolutely fine.

I tend to treat the nuts like the nuts regardless of anything else.

I'd welcome a 6-way pot with AA, for instance. I'd probably promptly jam the flop.

As said, I'd risk a large amount of my stack for a larger return on investment. With a pot this big with this low of blinds, that's fine.

This looks fine. I don't mind a little risk for a greater reward, every now and again.

MJBuddy · #8 09-05-2007, 04:53 PM

If the reward > Risk, you should probably take it every time.

thanks all...I don't think it would have mattered ho I played it as the villan had KK...we got it on the turn with me a big fave and he caught his two outer...I still like the preflop move...next time I won't screw around with the flop but I like the idea of gambling a bit more to get extra chips
