Was there something not simple in the answers you got?
No one is yet to answer the 20000 bet guy psuhes. Simple answers are fold or call.
Do you have a reason not to respect the advice given?
I guess its the general attitude of critiquing around here, this line of questions is a good example.
Do you know your game closely enough to say that you rarely spew like this pre?
YES
If so, why did you imply that we should call a super wide range pre here?
I thought some may agree
Do you realise that the range you assigned villain is unrealistic?
How many hands have you seen villian play? as many as me? not just that night
Do you understand the concept of reversed implied odds?
enlighten me
Do you understand the major advantage of playing a pot in position and that you can't just "lead out flops you think he'll miss and take them down" profitably?
YES
Do you understand that opening to 20k at the 6k level is a massive leak over time?
Yes, but given the situation of the previous 10 hands played I thought it was appropiate.
just a few questions I'm curious about that arose from this thread
Edit: Do you agree that 70k at the 1500/3000 level is not a lot to work with?
70K was 10% of chips in play. with 20-30 players left to me that seems like a significant stack, what's the question?
The question about opening to 3.5 BBs from a 15 BB stack gets a lot trickier since no one ever opens 3,5x from that stack. If you expose 20k you have to call 70 to win 180 which means you have to win roughly a little less than 40% of the time so in a vacuum you'd have to fold but it's a spot you never want to put yourself in
My line of questions was to try to straighten up a very messy thread after you posted your blanked statement "omg, I should just post the obvious hands cause people don't agree with me when I don't"
As for the range you assigned villain you'd have to assume that he'd raise a different amount with his monsters, no such info was given in this thread and if you had such info your cards wouldn't matter cause villain is just a scrub you can rob as you please
I'm not gonna talk too much about reverse implied odds but basically it deals with that you always risk hitting a 2nd best hand, as in the case when he has a bigger spade draw here
How can the table flow affect when it's appropriate to open to 20k with a hand like AJo? with super strong meta considerations it might make sense with your top 5% of hands or a super wide range but this seems really in the middle
I'm not sure if some words fell out for my last question but it was about 23 bigs not being a big stack to work with. There's a chance you're playing shallow stacks wrong if you feel big sitting on 70k at the 1500/3k even in a turbo structure such as this seems to be if that was 10% of the chips in play. Another thing that may point to you playing short stacks wrong is that you busted holding a mere 5 BB's, unless you lost a big pot to drop to that it's almost always a mistake to get down that far and once you do, k4 is a dream hand to ship on the button
