  1. Ok, let me preface this by saying that I'm a PXF subscriber and generally a fan of sheets' play. I'm also not trying to "call him out" necessarily, just would love some feedback as to how this is +EV, am I missing something? Obv he got lucky, but I'm curious as to how this play would be justified from his end?

  2. its terrible but poker players dont always play perfect
  3. obv drunk
  4. mbn to run good.

    i like his comment after
  5. My guess at a justification: Your re-raising range from his UTG raise probably isn't stock-full of aces and he had FE on the flop.

    Also, lol @ tada
  6. You could fold that would be +EV lol
  7. Unless he puts you on nines or tens I'm not too clear how he can make this move. Your flop bet makes it pretty clear that you aren't getting away from the hand, but maybe he took your strong lead as a sign of weakness and figured he had outs anyways so why not go for it?
  8. I'm having a really hard time with him having any FE on flop-you have 54k of 84k in already. That 24K on the flop is screaming, "please come over the top of me". If I'm playing against that preflop re-popper, and I don't have an ace or big pair on that flop, and he bets 24K, I fold.
  9. Exactly what I think Mals, I don't see any FE here, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that I'm ever folding here considering how I'd played the hand thus far.

  10. Superuser, obviously. You didn't think he was a good poker player did you?
