Re: Hand against Fossilman
Bakes maybe this hand was played poorly. I am a relative novice in tournaments esp 6 max. I have played a lot of tournaments online but most of the time just to blow off steam. Now i am trying to improve my game and strategy.
Ok everyone agrees flop check raise was poor. And check call was the best way. How about preflop is that standard? |

Re: Hand against Fossilman
but dude, its 150+bbs, you are a winner at cash games, you should know quite a bit about ranges in this spot...thought u might know not to c/r in this spot. pf is obv fine, i'd c/c flop, c/c turn, prob c/f river. maybe even c/f turn.

Re: Hand against Fossilman
I think preflop is standard. 4 betting is pretty awful as is folding (though I like folding better than 4 betting).

Re: Hand against Fossilman
I hesitated before folding. My gut feeling told me he could be pushing a worse hand because i was quite active.
He showed 88 Anyway i ended up busting him a bit later |

Re: Hand against Fossilman
I honestly don't get his play in the least. I can't believe he would expect you to muck tens through QQ (which your hand looks like) since you are an unknown and since you put a bunch in already.

Re: Hand against Fossilman
I dont know why everyone insists i am unkown. I have actually played fossilman in cash games on two or three occasions (high stakes) so it is very possible he took notes on me.
I am also one of the few players who has been consistently playing high stakes online poker for the past three to four years |

Re: Hand against Fossilman
I don't want to sound results oriented, but given this is 6-max and given villain is a world-famous LAG, I am not sure it is so obvious villain has a higher pp. To the poster, saying don't you know how to play poker, isn't that what OP did, rather than play like a nit?

Re: Hand against Fossilman
What's your history with him? Had he 3-bet anytime before this hand? What's your image in cash games? What's your image in this tournament?

Re: Hand against Fossilman
stars pros in general don't care much about these but since raymer won one I would expect he cares much more then any other stars pro.
But greg also is a very active guy PF and postflop and I think it's fine going broke here if you c/r though I usually c/r bet/call flop. |

Re: Hand against Fossilman
i think raymer likes to shove with any piece of anything early to try to get that big stack right away, but i could be wrong
anyway, i dunno, i think you probably should not c/r/fold the flop, if you c/r it has to be because you expect, say, that he is gonna get out of line with a worse hand |
