Quick comment on all the table chat about Skeeno's AK push. I dont think anyone thought it was a bad push, it was mainly people explaining to me why AK was the favorite over JJ in that pot. Sometimes it takes a bit to sink through Wink

.

Your okay mate, I was rambling loads when I went back through this hand history lol . . . again I'll comment on this lot when I get the chance early this week hopefully.

Hand 27 - TLR: Another great example of two players who know how each other play butting heads, in a normal game neither of us could really play like this

Hand 28 - elitemob: On this table raising KQs from EP is fine, on a "normal" table you should just fold it, AQ/AK do not always re-raise preflop which means you can have bad reverse implied odds on a K/Q high flop.

Hand 29 - elitemob: Again, raise with 44 from UTG is ok on this table but not in a regular game. Definitely fold to the re-raise from skeeno, you are either flipping or dominated and you do not have implied odds to call and try to hit your set (see the Hand 1-26 HH for an explanation).

As played c/f is obviously fine when you miss your set.

Hand 31 - elitemob: I would definitely play JTs when folded to in the SB, either by completing or raising. I probably just complete it because if Skeeno raises you can throw it away.

Hand 36 - elitemob: Firstly, I raise to 150 not 222 preflop (or make it 157 or whatever weird number pleases you!). Secondly, and you know this already, you gotta fold after 2 pushes after you, on this table too much chance of QQ+. Much more interesting would be if just one player shoved...
- Skeeno: Meh I guess shove is OK, the chips in the pot preflop are 18% of your stack and you want to see all 5 cards.
- Detroit: Quality comment there dude! Wink

Hand 37 - TLR: Nothing wrong with mixing it up but you could use the chips without a fight.

Hand 43 - Me: I think I played this hand pretty badly; firstly I knew at the time that TLR would not play back at me on the flop without a hand, secondly I should have bet the turn after he checks to me twice. Bad play by me, I gave this pot away.

Hand 45 - I think both players played OK here considering reads and past hands. Call was maybe a bit thin by kmind but he does have a point that QQ+ is probably not in TLR's range since he would probably try to trap, but he still does have 77-JJ to worry about. Maybe I'll run some ICM on this later.

Hand 27: Very risky play by TLR but I like it. Flop is a great flop to snap a cbet.
Hand 29: I'm not sure if I call a RR with 44 here.
Hand 31: Detroit, I usually try to steal here with two highish cards.
Hand 36: I can't call here with JJ. Their ranges are QQ+, AK and you'll be lucky if they both have AK.
Hand 37: I usually steal here, TLR, but yeah if you want to do if for deception then understandable.
Hand 42: I understand that a percieved range UTG is really tight but I think your range is a bit more loose, making this a pretty loose raise UTG.I understand that most of us are being tight and you can steal postflop but I don't know. Easy fold to the RR by taipan.
Hand 43: Everything that TLR says. And yeah it's a puke when he shoves but I still think the cbet or at least on the turn is profitable.
Hand 46: Had some chips, hidden hand, tried to steal. After the low RR from a tight player I knew I didn't stand a chance vs. his range.
Hand 47: I steal if I'm BjsAust. He's semishort and will have a tighter range in the BB most likely.
