Why ?

Mikeyboy9361:
" Ours not to reason why" Cos there can"t have beeb much thought there. Okay steal the B and A, but if you run into a hand, and risk your whole stack, crazy! By the way what does ffs mean? I"m not joking, I really don"t know!

Jon MW:
Urban Dictionary ftw

ffs

Chipaccrual:
ffs = well who"d have thought it, how annoying.

Wouldn"t have said it if the other guy hadn"t rattled my cage with a "lol"

;D

StoynB is obviously trying to steal the blinds and antes

if you didnt have a hand you couldnt call

Not debating that, but the pot stood at 600.  Slight overkill really.  Not got an issue with the hand.  The cards were live and you take your chances.

If it was in the first hour of a tourney, then you can understand it a bit, but two hours in and to shove like that seems really bad play, or is that normal ?

oh i agree with you 100% - overkill preflop and no need - bad play for the stack size and betting 6k (well  your 4k to win 750 is ludicrious (sp))

if it was me i"d have just raised it 3X BB and see where i stood then

if im called then i have another big decision on the flop - if im re-raised im out of there

ok here are my thoughts  ;D i gotta be quick so forgive me as it is nearly time for the dogs to have there walk  :)

believe it or not this move is happening a lot in high buy in mtts by players who understand sng push/fold poker and whether or not it is +ev or -ev..As far as i know it was eric haber - sheets and sorrel mizzi - Imper1um/zangbezan24 who started it.

They work out how often you will call if they shove to think if it is +ev or not,often doing this when the antes are in play especially if they think there opponent is tight.

Now i AM NOT saying this guy did it knowing the reason behind it,but he may of saw some others doing it and is just copying without knowing the maths or the concept behind it [more than likely]

i will post the maths out of interest later,as if any of you come across a good sng/mtt player in a high buy in mtt doing this you"ll be able to call wider than what they are expecting  :)
