The contest objective is to answer these 6 questions correctly:

1. Explain my preflop RAISE action correctly-why I did what I did.
2. Explain my preflop CALL action correctly-why I did what I did.
3. Does my preflop RAISE play lose or win money in the long run?
4. Does my preflop CALL play lose or win money in the long run (not given what he actually had)?
5. Explain specifically my preflop INSTA-call.

6. *Bonus Question: Being results-oriented (given that he had AhQh), do I actually win or lose money in the long run by making the call, and how much do I win or lose?

*The bonus question does NOT have to be answered, or it can be answered in a broad estimate, but if multiple people get the first 5 correct, the person who answers question 6 the best will win.

**One post attempt by any given poster, and only with one scenario (however I have the power to grant any poster an additional attempt via, "try again").

**If I coach you or otherwise have discussed this hand with you, you are DQ'ed from the contest.

**You must be a SSNL player/poster, no NL 600 regs+ allowed [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

**Contest ends midnight tonight!

Comments to set up the hand:

*I am playing NL 100 to coach someone. I normally play 3/6 NL, 5/10 NL, and HU NL games.

*In HU NL games, and in games where I feel I have an edge, I sometimes do "crazy" things to help my table image. This does NOT mean in any way that I did anything in this hand to that effect, at all...I'm just stating this for information about who I am and how villains possibly perceive me.

*My image at this table is tag or very slight lag, around 23/17, and I've been decently active (by far the most active preflop raiser at the table), but I've not been running well at all, and my image is probably pretty bad-I don't think people respect me that I have great hands, just b/c I've not been able to show down winners. The table has seen me lose a lot of medium pots where I've had to fold, and one re-raised pot where I lost my whole stack (I had AQ and villain flopped aces up).

*The rest of the table is pretty typically Full Tilt NL 100...some tight/passive, others loose/passive, maybe 1 tag in there, or 1 lag. Pretty standard table.

*Villain in this hand has been here for 60 of my 150 hands. His stats after 61 hands are approx. 26/10.

*When it was villain's turn to act, he thought for about 45% of his time before pushing.

*When it came back around to me, I insta-called, literally not using 1 full second of my clock.

*I like CTS.

Lastly, there is some information in this thread that is possibly misleading, but most simply leading. Use your own discretion; everything I wrote is true. Good luck!

Edited: I needed to fix my "postflop" talk to "preflop call of his all in".
