Glad to hear it. Even though I don't know you personally, it's fun to be able to root for someone I tangentially "know". We had you guys on in the background this past Saturday at my regular game. It was like, yo dog, we heard you like poker...I’ll be back on tomorrow. Let’s see if I’ve learned my lesson.
I agree with everything you're saying.I think the shove was just the last part of a string of escalating errors made during the hand from the start. Just dug deeper and deeper into a rut as the hand progressed. The jam wasn't the only issue.
Flatting Reza's preflop raise with a 3 gap unsuited connector from 3B. Then calling Lucky's re-raise.
Leading the flop with a 1/3 pot bet into the 2 maniacs and with Tom Dwan.
And then instashoving.
The time to let the hand go was preflop facing Reza's raise.
What does one hope to flop with Q8o in EP with 2 maniacs and Tom Dwan involved?
I'm not saying just play AA/KK in this spot, but you gotta have a tighter range that doesn't include Q8o.
Q8o seems pretty ambitious in this spot. Maybe Q8s if we're reraising preflop?I agree with everything you're saying.
I think you'd agree, there is a percentage of time to play Q8 in this position, even against this field. But you have to smash the flop before you put in another nickle four ways. Sure, heads up, someone may be making a move on you, squeezing you and stealing the pot. But with three other people, someone has a better hand when you dust the flop so lightly. Shoving there, you have to expect to be a longshot. And with your SPR so shallow, you had no fold equity.
Just caught up on these posts this morning.
TBH, it was a solid brain fart, and a bad play. It’s hard to exactly remember what I was thinking in the moment, but I’m sure my brain justified the push in some way, or else I wouldn’t have done it.
A few contributing factors existed, but none really seem strong enough now to justify the move. But they were there, nonetheless:
- lucky had been raising with jack shit on several hands prior, and I had caught him on a couple
- Reza and I had played a similar hand 4 days ago, where he re-raised with J2 suited (his second favorite hand) and I had called, winning a large pot.
Either way, you live and you learn, and move on
weird, seems to be goneWhat happened to that Youtube video of the Q8 hand?
Sounds like the premise of a Seinfeld episodeMan, that left-handed woman dealer is terrific!
I'm a total Lauren fanboy.Man, that left-handed woman dealer is terrific!
