  1. Is Ari's play here +EV? I could never make this play with AJ. Maybe thats why I suck.

  2. Scarface opened utg with <20bb so TECHNICALLY he should never be light, or light enough where AJ is profitable but they have played together and they are both HSMTT regs so I doubt either one folds given metagame, situation, etc.
  3. His 15bb shove with 35 off into AA was more astounding. The only reason I made this post is cause 35 is my favorite hand and ALWAYS hits for me, so maybe it's similar for BDA? either way, crazy hand on the FT bubble
  4. dude they are 6 handed

  7. Actually it was 3.5m at 1.25/2.5m so it's really closer to 15...and with 2 bigger stacks behind....even amak said not std. But whatever, seen em do worse.

    it was a 10 BB shove, not 15

    someone in the chat said 10, and someone corrected with *15... wasn't sure which was correct. I'd like to see the HH
  11. i dont understand three even's comment. because they are 6 handed AJ somehow becomes a monster versus an utg raiser who has likely pot committed himself preflop?

  12. I think its pretty impossible to play a tourney of this size and make it that deep without getting lucky at least once.

    You said that on the rail and you said it again here but if you look at the HH, it was 2.6 mill @ 125k/250k. Not sure how that = 15bbs

  15. I wasn't talking smack... hope that directed towards the op. I have made similar or worse plays with 35, and the flop seems to always drop A24

  18. with 10 bb's, it's more std. you wait for any pair, broadway cards, or your superstitious lucky hand lol.
  19. Anyone know who the 0/7 mtter is yet? Cash player? MA? what?
  20. he starts the hand with 4million and he puts in 530k to open the pot. do know many competent players who are folding at that point.

  22. sorry. meant to say i DO NOT know many competent players who are folding at that point.

  23. Thats only 12% of his stack I think. Im sure I could find a fold in the right spot.
  24. It's kind of a situation where you can't really, flat, you don't want to fold so you, say F it, I'm God, and even if he calls and I'm behind I'm gonna win.

    well, if he expects the other players to snap fold AJ to a single raise, then it would be extremely profitable for him to raise/fold UTG here with junk

    the bottom line is scarface doesn't have to fold much at all for this to be a +EV play, and I think saying that scarface is NEVER going to raise/fold here is pretty retarded

  27. fair enough three. your results speak for themselves. maybe you experts have it right. maybe AJ really is a monster.

    Gotta remember it is 6-handed here... so it's def a much bigger hand than if it were UTG with 9 players bc raiser can be wider here....
