    My friend was explaining his bust out hand at the last level of 1b. Blinds were 200/400, not sure of ante. He said the mp raiser range was extremely wide, has shown k3 after a raise, one of those live players who never folds. Mp raises to 1k, friend in big smooth calls with JJ, both with 60k effective stacks. Flop is Txx, ragged rainbow, bb chks calls mps 2k bet. Turn is a low brick, bb chks, mp fire 4500, my friend shoves. He said the mp players calls the shove with AQ.

    I don't disagree, he said he wanted to hit the 100k mark before the end of the level. I would of chk/called being the player is one who never folds, and just try to evaluate if an overcard hits. Could of been in decent shape with 45-50k left after a river fold, instead risking 50k to win 10k. I wish someone would call off 100 bbs with ace high on the turn drawing slim.

    no this hand is why the Main Event is +EV

    <h3 id="no71215">Townsend Outflops Opponent</h3>
    We caught up with the hand on the turn, with the board reading and Brian Townsend made it 5,800 to go after his opponent checked. His opponent called and the river brought the . Townsend's opponent went all-in for his remaining 10,000 and Townsend insta-called showing for the flopped nut flush while his opponent turned over for top pair.

    Wow wow wow. I just hope the QJ guy had the thought process of his 10K shove being a stone-cold bluff to get Townsend to lay down a non-nutted flush. Not that it makes the play any better. Any way, thats a play I see at the 1.20 45 mans and just shake my head at, let alone the ME.

    Why does this thread say "Locked" at the top, even though people can still post in it..?

    If the OR had a wide range of hands, why did your friend smooth call with JJ? He's OOP, sure, but with JJ vs a LAG player, why not put in a sizeable re-raise?

    Pretty badly played IMO

    LOL if you are referring to "Q F M F T", I had to Google that myself. The Urban Dictionary told me it means "quote" or "cosign".
