One of the "best players on the internet" makes this play?

Please tell me how he does this. I'd like some real discussion, this isn't a whine post. Please don't move to BBV.

I hadn't done anything out of line at this table, my image was probably fairly tight.

Was this at any specific stake of the tournament, stack sizes look like it could be a bubble.

augie_ · #3 12-12-2006, 08:08 PM

maybe you'd be better off by avoiding those tens on the river

TallPaul · #4 12-12-2006, 08:10 PM

It was a little after the bubble. Down to 24 players, 27 were paid. On the bubble I'd completely understand his play.

I don't see anything wrong with his play resteal with a weak hand, hit tp, check shove. Pretty standard.

THAY3R · #6 12-12-2006, 08:14 PM

Below is crazy aggro, and I like how he played this.

iggymcfly · #7 12-12-2006, 08:16 PM

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with this play at all. He made a small reraise, projecting strength, looking to steal on the flop, and then when he hit, decided to C/R instead. I really don't see where you think he played this poorly.

diebitter · #8 12-12-2006, 08:16 PM

It wasn't THAT bad. He obv thinks he's in front of you on the flop - probably cos you only called his reraise.

Why on earth did you only call the reraise here anyway?

I always call here with AA, because 90% of the time they conbet and the other 10% they check shove.

Exactly, because if I pushed I'm not getting any more chips off him. I guess this is a bit of a whine post really. I just don't get the resteal with KTo. I'd imagine it's one of the worst hands to do it with.
