Felt like the right move, was it?

Knocked out the player and he wasn't happy. Who is?
Bt I felt the first time I had no choice and the second i put him on a weak holding considering his constant button raises.

Well he went on a rant. Can't really blame him but I felt he was on a button steal (He'd been raising a few times before) and decided to re raise him. Was suppose to put him all in but miscalulated the chips. I felt he could fold his mediocre holding and if he called I'd Probably only be a 60/40 underdog.
He called with very little hesitation and i outdrew him, he had J 10 off.
I'm sure re raising a button raise is a good play, though in retrospect he probably was never folding when the pot was large.

first hand I muck pre. 2nd hand you are way too weak to resteal and he already has like 1/3rd of his chips in as a raise and is not folding ATC to a shove (unless he's a huge moron).

One the first hand I would push all-in before the flop. With 500 sitting on the table and no one showing strength this is a place to move in.

Second hand I would have to fold because he's going to call an all in with probably every hand he raised with. He doesn't have enough chips behind to fold. Wait for a better spot to steal from him. Doesn't look like a good move to me.

wow the 2nd one is pretty horrible.

Gunblade · #5 09-11-2007, 06:15 PM

Yes yes ok the second one sucked, even I was thinking it was poor when I posted this but can't take it back now unfortunately. I really need to take my time and think I suppose.
I'd be an ok move if there were less than 1/3 of his stack in I figure? As in if he had more chips. Not sure why I thought he'd fold tbh :/

1st hand is perfect for crai.
2nd hand is hideous. Just fold.

This could be an action-limp, so it`s not that easy..I like it against a loose-passive player. Buy-in?

$10+1
Not very high so I've actually seen ppl fold after putting 1/3 of their stack. That's a semi excuse for the 2nd hand by the way [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
