You might be correct, this time Mr. Josem,
It's clear that you know how to play no limit holdem.

But what you are missing my friend with your ish,
Sometimes at this level, they all aren't a fish.

Small blind got his big stack by working the table,
And making good choices, despite Wickss' fable.

Small Blind is the bully, he has all the clout,
And isn't afraid to tell Wickss "Get OUT!"

When min-raising is right, I really don't know,
But I'm not gonna do it, not here that's fo sho.

So folding is right in this sticky spot,
Min-raising is dumb so our Hero got caught.

The moral, my friend (and inferior poet),
Is that Wickss should have known
that he just has to fold it.

Now go back to your foosball, your soccer or pool,
You know for a fact that I'd take you to school.

Slacka pwns the lyrics.
I attempted to make a rhyme but I far fell short.

Short stack is about to go out. I was probably in a bad situation against SB. I wanted to play the short stack AIPF with this hand. Not the SB. That is why I didn't go all in.

[/ QUOTE ]Like I said, unless the SB is a muppet, he's shoving ATC vs. you here. Push or fold.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow...I'm glad I don't play sngs anymore. If, in fact, only the worse players at the $6.50s don't know to shove any two here, you sng players are in trouble.

When I left the $109s at party in late November, there were very few capable of shoving any two here.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is not push ATC! With the big stack still to act you have to be careful. However, AT is a hand to push with here, but it is also at the low end of the range to push (but +cev of 0.99 to push ATs here)... A9o is a fold (according to SnGwiz...)

Wickss, you s/b in push/fold mode. You don't have enough chips to "play poker" and raise here. You lose valuable fold equity when you play this way.

[mjnumb23]

I can't seem to get a word in edge-wise here with all the hand histories being thrown around. You people must think this is a poker forum or something.
