Do you think Mo would have folded if Dave had pushed in quicker without the tank time? I'm thinking that Mo would have dumped the KK even AA if Dave pushed in imediately.
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure I totally agree with you Bart, although I agree with some of it. Against a really solid player I wouldn't like a 4 bet with AA there because they know your range for a preflop 4 bet is so narrow assuming you two have no real history. Obviously Alan while having improved his game still really is on level one still (how else is he going so stack off with QQ in a reraised pot for 200bbs on a Jxx board, honestly) so even Mike 4 betting against Alan won't set alarm bells ringing that Queens are garbage. I really don't think there are many ways that Alan doesn't go broke with QQ preflop or as an overpair. I suppose 4 betting is probably best against Alan since his range is so narrow and he can't fold a big pair no matter what, I don't really consider the smooth call preflop to be a huge mistake though nessicarily.

Wow lol Alan gets stacked again, man he is so bad.

nh Mo

simply amazing

Two quick questions:

1. Mo is always anounced as the "host" of the game? What exactly does that mean? Is he a prop player? Is he affiliated with the Casino? Does he get paid by the Casino or get some type of compensation if the game goes off?

2. Running more than once: Just watched the hand between Mo and the other player where mo had bottom 2 pair and they agreed to run it three times. Ultimately, Mo got 2/3 of the pot and 1/3 of the other player's stack. As you will recall, Mo won 2 +(sorry typo) out of 3 runs. I am sure you have explained it several times, but could you take a second and go over the idea of how the pot is split and when is it a good time to run it more than once?

Thanks,

mike seems to be checking top pair on the flop an awful lot tonight and never getting paid off, you would think that he would realize that everyone is going to cautious of the maniac that checks the flop and then fires away at turn, river.

Thanks Bart. The Tools and Resources page was spot on and easy to understand. I actually thought it was some kind of double (or even triple) or nothing type bet.

Kirk with KK vs q-10 against mike. WOW all I can say.


How is KK good on a A-q-4-10 board... I respect Kirks game and think he is a solid player, but he sometimes he makes wierd plays with big pocket pairs when its only one pair.

Regarding the hate on dave, viewers are results oriented nothing more nothing less. Those same players prob push with QQ too but are too afraid to admit it.
