100 rebuy, huge move

[nycballer]

Saying it is more likely to work in a sunday tournament is completely false. Players are worse and will stack off with alot here. This only works against decent players, which I thought the reraiser was.

This move is not made because a guy is afraid to risk his tournament life, u got it wrong he was chip leader.

I love that you are using the fact that the guy was chipleader as an excuse for putting a 3rd raise in preflop. at 100/200 a25, why would he be reraising an EP bettor with a marginal/bad hand. The blinds clearly don't mean [censored] to his huge stack.

It's a bad play, and I wouldnt advise getting tricky like this until after blinds/antes actually matter, and you have a hell of a lot better read then "he has a lot of chips, hes kinda loose".

i would think the average sunday million player is way worse than yer average 100r player... also what worse hand is stacking off??

after all the money goes int these stacks are pretty shallow.

so if you check raised a half pot bet he might call getting 4.5 5 to 1 just for the hell of it.

i'd rewind and ask myself why i'm putting in so much of my stack against shown strength w/ 8 high suited.

[nycballer]

this is not supposed to be about the play preflop. And you are wrong, its not even worth going into b/c from ur post u don't understand the logic behind the play. Both players in the hand were 100% convinced i had kings in the chat afterward and wouldnt believe i had 85 so clearly my play was good.

[nycballer]

i was responding to someone saying that preflop it would work better in the sunday mil. my move preflop much less likely to work vs bad players.

[JoseGonzlez]

if the first raiser is a donk than the big stack is probably raising for value (though it could be thinnish value - if its ahead of the raiser's range.)

i dont think its aweful but i would guess the big stack has at least a medium strength hand.

so how did it play out. i think you gotta push the flop mainly because your read is that big stack is not that strong.

[nycballer]

this was my thinking and i think correct.

i'm gonna wait to post results cause i wanna see if anyone has any arguments for checking with the intention of raising or betting turn if checked behind. specifically, if u check will he ever bluff push a better hand or will he bet half pot with those. Or will he even push an underpair and u can check call? Whats his range if u check and he pushes?

if he is looose and bad why are you trying to steal w piece of trash>?
