WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PLAYED A $16 OR $27?

Just curious.

Happy whenever I see you at my tables, why?

Couldn't guess. Care to share PS name/sharkscope?

Nothing?

Still nothing? Wow.

Do you have anything useful to add whatsoever?

I just don't get why shoving the flop is best play, the only hand that is going to call you is a hand that beats you. I like a call on the flop and revaluate on the turn.

but yeh i would have just shoved preflop

It was a simple question. And yes, I think I've made it clear that I don't think a push is wise. Maybe I'm wrong, but all I've seen so far is that I disagree with people that don't play this level regularly, like I do.

Again, if you like me so much, let me know who you are and we can go from there. I know that when I load up a SNG, I'm not looking forward to any winners at the table, so I can't see why you would want me there.

FYI, I wasn't responding to you initially tonight if that's what made you so defensive. Didn't realize you had the random post above my response...hugs, not drugs?

Yeah well, I had the only post made in the last 1,5 hrs prior to that upper case rampage [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

FWIW my initial thought here was to call the flop. But I dunno, I suppose with reads this could be fold or push, or maybe even raise/fold.

I can't remember because I play good in spots like this and moved up really quickly.

Also the only reasons to shove preflop here are
1. I'm 54543454 tabling and don't have time to take a thin edge by raising to 250.

2. I'm not good enough at postflop play with 2x pot behind.

Also 250>300 here. Think about how shallow we are it is not necessary to make a 3 bb raise. I might raise 225 here. One of the major reasons to raise preflop is too build a pot, however, we are so shallow your preflop raise can be small because any raise is building the pot at an appropriate leve.
