Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
I mean, maybe the guy started choking on his buffalo wings after looking at his cards when he decided to shove but I don't think there are going to be some jedi level mind reads here.
I'ts like the thread here from years ago something like "do i raise 44s utg in this 7 handed game, and after 100 pages, it was finally settled with who gives a **** and focus somewhere else.
I don't think I've ever been to a poker room that wasn't mainly maga, but a 10am weekday tournament filled with geriatrics is going to be especially so.
Results? Assume you called, lost to 1010/jj, then jammed aq/ak the next hand and busted against aces, otherwise you wouldn't have posted it.

Yeah he had JJ and I lost then I went through the blinds, picked up A9o on the button, shoved and was snapped off by the small blind who had AQo.
And yeah I think it has to be close because no way I'm folding tens there. But I think the fact that being utg and that if I lose I have to then go directly into the big blind and post another 25% of my remaining stack maybe makes 88 a fold. And it isn't like stealing in these games is hard. People open limp and fold to jams all the time still even late in these tournaments so picking up chips the easy way should be preferred.

Lol, sick read by me. Obviously you called and lost, otherwise you wouldn't have posted it. If you called and he had QQ+ you probably wouldn't have posted it. If you called and lost a flip, you probably wouldn't have posted it. If you lost and lasted a while longer in the tournament, you probably wouldn't have posted it.
Need to balance your posting range, bruh.

I was referring to the other players
poor read imo

Sure you do, then you play super aggro and try to bluff the pot on any board. If it gets to showdown, you show your suited fours and the hand is void, all bets returned. Pro level freeroll.
Live nlhe tournament 22 left pays 13. Blinds 2.5k/5k with a 5k bb ante and I have 88 utg with around 85k. I raise to 13k and a player in late position shoves for 41k.
Is this a call or fold?
‘I raise 13k UTG do I call a 28k jam’ is definitely the post of a guy who can’t possibly believe he was dead to rights calling
Your post is bad and should feel bad
My post was fine
Note that we have people in this thread saying it's a call and others saying it's a fold.
Yeah it's obviously close which you knew of course but probably a slight fold in a tourney - but not worth the energy.
This isn't really applicable in a tournament obviously but I remember playing about 1300 hands an hour, comfortably on 4 tables, when rush poker came out in 2011 ish. And just like we all did, I would enter in my inflated win rate into a calculator and x it accordingly to hands played and figured that was what i was going to make and everything was set!
After playing an insane amount of hands for about 4 months, I learned what definitely ended up being the best lesson of all in that creating a structure/location to play in the right times with the right players + focusing for exploitative measures against those players, would dictate my winrate far more than splitting hairs in close ev spots with another handful of nits who were doing the same.
No need to study an opening against a chess player of your level when there are 900s playing down the street that don't know that they are morans.
