simple preflop vs Matusow - Page 4

damnit i was about to mention the tilt factor. and i know matusow whines and bitches about how bad he runs, and it's probably somehow due to the fact that he's terrible... but even if it's a 50/50 situation vs anyone else... against mike you're at least a 2:1 favorite. results?

I've seen mike do some really stupid stuff, but 95%+ of the time he plays very well IMO. I'd need a read that he was spewing.

do you know how much money you will win if he has ak and you outdraw him even if its a flip he will tilt after the loss, call that [censored]! Ive never played him or anybody that high but, from the tilt stories looks like you should call.

fold, in my experience w/ matusow when he says something like this preflop it's a monster.

WOW this is weird...i happily felt AQ vs aggressive regs at 400nl and 600nl, especially when they overpush on my 3-bets. So HEADS UP at at much bigger stakes vs a spewy aggro opponent, it should be very standard to felt here no?

I mean, when i 3-bet AQs hu, i actually WANT my opponent to shove alot of the time. True you do see AK a fair amount, but also A-Xs alot, and many more hands, well, cos it's Mike.

Surely you'll get run over big time if you're folding AQs hu pf vs Mike Matusow..

The only thing that would make me consider folding is the 'gamble' comment...apart from that it's a no brainer.

Not sure if this range is accurate for Mike, but I spotted you 77+ which I don't think he is pushing.

Surely this range includes some (or perhaps all) A-Xs, and i've never played him but we don't know that he overshoves big pairs in this spot. Typically you see this play with A-Xs, and usually AK. Isn't he more likely to flat call AA and c/r ai on alot of flops?
