What Is The Blood Taste In My Phlem?

To call or not to call, Here Are the answers

Although the theme of this quiz No. 2 was not very suitable for this type of exercise, as I was aptly noted raulvolfoni , both call light on the river need to rely on a minimum of metagame by definition not available in an exercise like this, I had to bring you the post-mortem of the proposed 5 hands.

in this case I for my part paid on all these hands, wrongly or rightly, that that will allow all those who participated to validate the relevance of their answers ...

I finally said that contrary to what the comics chosen to illustrate this article might suggest, I do not consider that the 5 Villains against which I played these hands are all bastards. Quite the contrary, 2 of them are very nice to me, I think you will no trouble recognizing them ...

Main 1



The 70 votes cast for that hand are divided between 45% fold, 37% of call, and still 17% raise.

I confess I do not quite understand the choice to raise here, since being asked to add € 54 villain in a pot of 162 €, which means it does not FolderA J here besides, he probably never will (I bet a lot here did not make sense, he certainly is the Q, or nothing at all). Clearly, supporters hope to raise sometimes avoid a split face A high (this is really the only hope of gain that can be found here). It is possible that this works because from time to time, but the gain generated can never compensate for the additional loss of 54 € every time we lose the coup ... The call here is more than borderline (yeah, since that was the subject of the quiz) and asked to accept an already making huge risk, why go further increase of a half-cellar already significant potential loss?

Among the commentators, Whistman rAAise and fold them both, which of course seems very reasonable, and Nantais call just like me. I guess he saw it as quite a few pairs in the lower hand Vilain, it is now forced to rely on this river catastrophic for him to try to avoid losing a showdown against a hand as small as 10 high ...

Here So the ranking of our commentators at the end of this first hand:

1) and Whistman rAAise € 0
2) Nantais and Chal € -37

Main 2



38 votes, divided exactly equally between Fold and Call. This does not surprise me because this call is not obvious. It's pretty clear it was run, yes, but then, is it pulled the color, now trying to wrest the move, or was it straight, then he comes back and it is absolutely value to justify call her turn? Only

Whistman deflated on it, for fear (justified) of the fifth, Nantais and rAAise paying one voice ... rAAise therefore takes the head of the standings:

1) rAAise 156 €
2) Nantais and Chal
119 € 4) € 0 Whistman

Hand 3



An overwhelming majority emerges for the fold (79% of 33 votes), 15% of call not weighing heavily in the balance. I shall not dwell more on the 6% raise: As almost always in the river borderline cases, raise will increase the size of your troubles when you're in deep trouble.

What made me pay? I honestly do not know nothing, obviously the profile of the player and nothing else. Of course he can have here on 10 (a hand like J10 is perfectly within its range type that pays almost all 3bet in attaching no importance to its position). So good a shot as I feel and how this kind of hands are not really relevant in the context of a theoretical exercise in cold ...

Nevertheless, the classification still unforgiving of our game .. This time, Whistman single call (without hesitation and more, gg!) and therefore it is forced into the soft underbelly of the championship:

1) Chal
€ 260 2) 156 € rAAise
3) Whistman
141 € 4) Nantes 119 €

Hand 4



only 14% of 38 voters decide to go after paying their reasoning, while 83% fold wisely (yes yes, it has a raise ...). I thought I would see much more once they have decided to turn to pay, there is so much more reason to decline to the River.

My reasoning was: I have decided (wrongly or rightly - rather obviously wrong here, lol) turn to pay, thinking that this player could very loose my floater. Although I certainly see a pair, it is likely in view of its profile it does not get thin with the K value or a good pair as 1010. I'm pretty sure he would choose a check in this case alone. So it is biased and has either the J or nothing. As his bets, both on the turn that the river could correspond perfectly to put bluff (I mean by this that I have not swung the pot each time) The call seemed clear enough at the time. I also suspect many of the players who chose "fold" to disapprove the call turn and failing to project where they have actually chosen to call themselves the turn before making their decision River .

Perhaps our 3 panelists (which I therefore repeat all 21 € here, lol) will confirm, or at least support their choice of fold here (assuming full call their turn).

1) Chal
239 € 2) € 156 rAAise
3) Whistman
141 € 4) € 119 Nantais

Hand 5



Here, the call seems obvious to 75% of the 36 voting. Only 14% fold, while it is again in 11% bolting with raise (carpet for half of them) ...

In fact, I wish we here give 200 € bonus to the classification that gave me the hand of Ugly :-). But none of us has such an ability to decipher the intricacies of the brain that people sometimes fragile our tables, and this is very unfortunate ... Our

thus lose all 3 candidates blithely € 11 on that hand but all terminate largely positive, congratulations to them:

1) Chal
228 € 2) € 145 rAAise
3) Whistman
130 € 4) € 108 Nantais

I said that the fact that I have created a game where I was about to win (yeah, z'avez not see any call of genius - those who walked what - a fortune, while the ridiculous call costing peanuts) is purely coincidental. Promised, the quiz No. 3 will be fairer and more conducive to a topic, More ...

nice Sunday! ;-)
