It's mainly the reason I stuck around. I don't like to play big pots either without a strong hand. A 9 is not a strong hand..:) <BR/><BR/>GG. Hope to see you next month, at another table, of course. loljusdealemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941962612273507116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179659995184563617.post-37725681387675410172008-02-22T18:04:00.000-08:002008-02-22T18:04:00.000-08:00Hate to see me at the table, huh?

That's way too much variance for a tourney with stacks of 1,500.<BR/><BR/>Every time I raised you, I had a solid hand like the A26 example you posted here. (<I>Very</I> solid in this case, with two of my pair bricks exposed and none of my outs to a 6 gone.)<BR/><BR/>I'd much rather put in an extra small bet on 3rd than invite the 6 and 7 behind us into the pot with something like a smooth 8 or rough 7 draw. You're almost never a favorite to win a three or four-way pot in razz unless people are in there with total garbage. In a way, I was doing us both a favor by helping ensure we played pots heads up.<BR/><BR/>Looking back, I made a pretty big mistake on 5th by checking behind when you paired and I caught good. I can't be in horrible shape there even if the 4 helped you. It was probably my only chance to induce a fold, and I checked. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes in spots like that I don't mind checking behind when I suspect we've both caught good, because I'd rather not play huge pots in tournaments without huge hands. Dunno if that's the right or wrong approach. (Wrong in this case obviously, but I mean in general.)yancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246479150501283821noreply@blogger.com
