Default Sklansky would be proud

Coz I paid attention reading TPFAP. No particular read on villain, but he's down 6k over 91 tournaments according to pokerdb. This is early in the stuper/nightly 100k, whatever you want to call it.

The cold call/reraise small is a monster always right? If he'd shoved instead of repopping small does that change anything?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

UTG (t2100)
UTG+1 (t2355)
MP1 (t1700)
MP2 (t1375)
MP3 (t1945)
CO (t2505)
Hero (t2190)
SB (t1960)
BB (t1880)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t105</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t105, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t450</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t1050</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t1650

I think you are incorrectly applying some theory from that advanced book. This is early, super early, in a huge online donkament. And this guy sucks. I give his cold call, re-raise ZERO credit.

Well, if anything I think you got him dominated.

why didnt he just make a small reraise the first time around? I'd felt this everytime. I could see this being a monster later on in the tourney when hes trying to induce a squeeze or something but early on like this I dont think its AA/KK often at all

Theres a bit in the book where Sklansky talks about how he lost a little respect for an otherwise good player for felting KK against this line. His argument was that it could be nothing but AA. I just figured it made for a good title.

Basically I just thought the line looked exactly like a bad player making it very, very obvious that he had a monster, so I believed him. Didn't expect to get flamed quite so hard, but figured there was a solid chance the fold was bad, hence the post.

Yeah, that was in the WSOP ME where people are 200BB deep and don't want to put their "tournament life on the line" without the nuts, not an online MTT where effective stacks are half that and you can assume an unknown opponent probably has Down's syndrome

It really was mostly just for a decent title.
