    I sucked on this one. I ended up folding and I'm pretty sure I made an error. In hindsight, yes: tons of OESD, overpairs, pair-plus-draw hands he could have. I should've picked him off. Ah well,...

    two pair OOP

    1/2 NL. Villain (sitting on ~$135) is slightly looser and weaker than a typical OMC. Hero's image is very TAG, only showing big hands and not playing too many hands, either. I'm sitting on $500.

    Stealth hand vs lag

    $1/3NL. Hero has a tight image, has only shown down winners. Villain is the only LAG at the table but hasn't been a complete maniac. Effective stacks are $275.

    Mainly my question is about the...

    +1. Yes, this. You need to play in a very specific manner on the bubble. ICM comes into play, and your calling requirements when facing a shove for your tournament life are very, very tight. HOH says...

    OESD in pos vs Top Player

    1/2NL, effective stacks ~$240. Villain is an excellent poker player. I respect his game a lot. His bet sizing is consistently excellent and he makes commitment decisions early. He loves to play in...

    Ok, more of my thoughts in hindsight:

    Preflop, after 1 limper in this weak game, I'm ok with raising some crap hands like 97o,68s,57s, etc., especially in late position. Lots of lags and I won't...

    Sorry, that was un-PC. I should have said "OMC sterotypes apply" -- loose weak preflop, tight weak post flop. I'll edit my post if I can. The whole table was like that.

    OOP and weird stack sizes

    Great post. I'm normally a huge fan of value-betting the river. But maybe not here.

    Let's see, you could get some value out of QQ/JJ/99, maybe KQ. But what do you do if he check-raises the river?...

    Yeah, I misplayed this. I ended up just calling on the river, villain showed 222 and I was left wondering how I failed to stack a guy with set-over-set.

    Like everyone has said, I think it's worth noting again that his flop c/r makes a straight much less likely. I'm thinking this is a shove. And I should have bet more on the flop or at least re-raised...

    TTT wet board, active villain

    1/2NL in Vegas, Villain is a young guy, seems like a fish and he plays very passively until now. He has about $200 behind, I have him well covered. I've been on a heater and my image is somewhat LAG,...

    I think rpm is on the right path here: isn't this a case of range manipulation? Shoving the flop folds out a lot of what we're beating. If Villain has TP, two pair, we can get more value if we raise...

    Good point, Pascal. Bring a puppy to the tournament table, I guess, and get ready to drop kick whenever you shove light.
