200NL Full Stacks: All in Pre Flop on QJs? - Page 3

I see your point, but I have $500+ at the table, so I will still be the only one able to take his stack at a swipe, even if I lose this one. I think that this adds at least a little EV to my move.

And for those planning the return to Party Poker - think you may be disappointed. 6 max I think is definitely softer, but when I open up my FR tables average VPIP is almost always below 20, and often below 15 (UK night).

This guy is like Haley's Comet - he comes once every few years, and is beautiful to see, but doesn't last long.

You really think Party 6max is softer than Party FR? Maybe I need to take that up.

It depends on the time of day - I think because 6 Max seems to be the European game of choice, that is where the new donks are going. So for a British evening, I like to look around for a bit of 6 max if the full ring looks too nitty.

Anyway, on the whole QJs business, I did call, first announcing that I was here to gamble. He had A7off and won out.

The very next hand is as follows. My view is that the outcome is the result of my advertising the hand before, and therefore the slight negative EV I may have accepted was well worth it.
