Bax vs Steve ( Stars Stuper )

The hands I like a push on are 22 and TT if he has a read that Steve will not fold. If he has no idea who Steve is, then I prefer the check line.

I still don't get it. What hands is Steve calling a push with and folding to a CR given these stack sizes?

[Ansky]

There is like a 2% chance that open pushing there is maximizing against steves range.

I realize it's Bax and as with any big name most people have a tendency to look extra hard for the hand to make sense (myself included), but...yeah, this hand sucks. Nobody ever ever ever puts him on a queen or even so much as AT, so why is he announcing he wants a call?

[MikeSmith]

standard stop n go to me but.....

Maybe Bax realizes that the utg is smart enough to know the stop n go and just playing a big hand so weird utg would look him up. Bax obv has reads on this guy that we dont know.

wait, so who had what?

For future reference, since sarcasm is hard to detect over the internet, please at a /sarcasm at the end of posts such as these. Otherwise some people might actually believe you're serious.

edit: hmmm, when I hit quote your post only said the first line. I think my comment still stands.
