Lock 33$ 20k wut???
Ah, you are right, I did misunderstand, but I think yes they are both still calls (and then obviously tighten the range I posted above quite a bit too) I think it's a perfect example of why you just shove with AK here instead of 3b/call. If I open the cutoff and the button small 3b's off a

Lock 33$ 20k wut???
Definitely calling with AT/KQs. If you open the button off a 25bb stack and a 60bb bb stack reshoves, I imagine you should be calling A8+, A6s+ KQs+, 55+ (that's why 22-44 are tough here and I'd almost wanna just shove pre) You should just be aware before you open, if you have something borderline like Q9o, maybe just muck it, assuming you know the BB is shove happy. But at the same time, you gotta expect what's going to happen before it does, and if he indeed is very prone to shoving, you gotta loosen up your calling ranges, and if you are sitting there with a5s, you should probably be ...

Lock 33$ 20k wut???
you are probably right against a rando, it's best to 3b/call. They shouldn't understand stack sizes nearly as well, and won't necessarily view your 3b as "super strong" like a reg will. I also might just flat with QQ-AA sometimes against a total random in this spot. It really depends on game flow, I think if based on flow/sizing/timing you view his raise to be fairly strong, you can rip it and get called by AT-AQ/pairs. If you sense the opposite, maybe just flat with the big hands and try and trap him post...or 3b small and hope he spazzes.

Lock 33$ 20k wut???
snap call. I personally jam here, i know many of u are saying 3b/call, but If i was the original opener, and the button 3b off that size stack, i'd probably hero fold AT/AJ/KQs/66/77 when i'd be calling a shove.

Difficult spot vs Doug Lang merge evening 109 ftbl bub
I don't think he should 3 to 5 any of these hands against the 2nd biggest chip stack in an otherwise soft field. Just saying, I could see him possibly doing this with 88, and I doubt he is doing it with 22/55. Its merely me speculating on what a tough player might do w those hands, not necessarily saying what the best play is with them (which I think i'd flat all pairs 88 and under here with this exact situation/stack sizes/etc)

Difficult spot vs Doug Lang merge evening 109 ftbl bub
eh, I think he 3b's AK here close to almost always. Such an easy spot to induce a light 4 from amber to 5b shove. I also again think he's 3b'ing his Ax's, so it's just gotta be a flopped set, seeing as how he's almost always flatting 22/55/88 and not 3'ing to 5 (at least certainly not with the pairs smaller than 88)

Difficult spot vs Doug Lang merge evening 109 ftbl bub
he checks back way too many hands you could get value from, plus ppl don't raise over ur river lead as a bluff that often deep in big tournaments

Difficult spot vs Doug Lang merge evening 109 ftbl bub
I like bluff catching with KJ/KQ way more than turning them into a bluff. Not to say Doug isn't capable of doing that, I still think he'd be more inclined to call with those hands knowing you might be barreling away at the Ace and ya, I could see Doug having AQ here as well...chking back flop thinking he had best hand, floating turn, value raising riv. Also, I def think a2/a5ss are in his range, chking back the flop with bottom/mid pair with a flush redraw/top kicker seems pretty standard. I'm going with Ax that hit two pair or AQ for same hand :) Can't imagine he flatted AA/KK ...

Difficult spot vs Doug Lang merge evening 109 ftbl bub
as played I'd fold, I think he has you beat (altho I'm uncertain as to what his holding might be). You should be betting the flop tho fwiw against someone has tough as Doug (I know u probably didn't cbet knowing he was just going to float such a high % of the time, but it's still far easier to define his hand ranges later in the hand if you bet flop) He might have a5/a8ss but I think he'd 3b those a lot against you here on the final table bubble. Also think he'd bet with 22/55/88 if checked to, but I could be mistaken

Where did you get all those #'s' I find it hard to believe that entire list are losing players when several of them play very well, and Swish in particular has won the HR like 4-5 times. Just impossible for all of them to be down

Why Weavel's (betudontbet) Pro Poll should be much higher
This is so spot on, was thinking the same thing the other day when attempting to do my Pro Poll. I think the whole system was great, but needs to have less weight post Black-Friday.

Pocketfives Training Discussion: Hand vs well known villain
He always puts you in weird spots, that's why he's the greatest. Think you gotta c/c turn, c/c river against Chris or any other tough aggro villain in this spot. Dunno how he can ever have an 8 here (like you said 88 3b/calls pre, and as Tyson said, all of his hands containing a lone 8 would raise flop) I do however think it isn't as cut and dry as with most players that he either has a set or an 8 when betting this turn. Moorman is good enough to take u to two streets of value town with KT/AT here while many others might chk back turn and/or river with those hands. Looking fwd to seeing ...

It just seems odd that they can afford to do a no makeup deal. Kinda makes you wonder if the skin/affiliate is being given those tickets without the $$$ to back it, in the assumption that they can just dip it out of the profits later FTP style.

If it's an affiliate backing them it seems totally OK, but if it's a SKIN backing them, that can't be fair/right in the slightest. A skin shouldn't have any vested interest in the outcomes of tournaments on the site, that is so blatantly wrong.

so, when Ricky/Swish win a tournament, are they sending half of their winnings back to this "backer"' Or are these tickets just given to them to increase traffic' Seems an important thing to differentiate, and I haven't noticed anyone touching upon that
