looks good. some people don't see these types of plays but it becomes obvious after a while.

The best part of this hand is the bitching and moaning after the hand is over of why you didn't just call and check it down. That alone is +++EV

meh. i dont like it actually. i guess its just me. there are only 155 chips in "free" money as opposed to 725 without UTG there. seems like a big difference

yea, its a good play, people who dont understand it, are the ones who bitch about it,
and my speed of action is pretty good for the amount of tables I play, I have been told it is better then most 8 tablers!

I'm effectively pushing t20 to win t945. I'm sure bb is calling tight. Worst case scenario, he calls and I lose and I'm still in good shape. If we are HU and shortie wins this pot, my stack basically stays the same because of the t180 I'll get from the BB and he is still in horrible shape.

yea i know all the math and all. i just dont know if its correct. its close though because i would push something like 96s. its not really 20 to win 945 because then if UTG wasnt there it would be 0 to win 725. its all a matter of the BBs range of course. i cant say id always fold here but its not a clear push either
