This is standard in my opnion, and like I have said countless times I rarley make sick calls like this but when I do they are almost always right.

As I state quite alot, I am no tourney expert.

However IMHO, that is anything but standard.

Further to that, the words "train" and "wreck" slowly come together to describe it perfectly.

I understand your thinking but do you ever visit liquidpoker.net? They have some of highest cash game players making calls for thousands of dollers for there stack with jack and 8 high and winning on a daily basis, and if they were not right alot of the time dont you think they woudnt be playing at these high levels very long?

In My opinion 2 play at such high stakes you have to throw abc poker out the window.

Was this a 1k HU tourney or something?

No but that has nothing 2 do with it??? Ignorance is bliss

Ok you may as well find this out now. Low stakes poker and high stakes poker are completely different.

If I tried to play like sbrugby or muckemsayuhh at 50nl I'd get murdered.

At these levels, poker is 95% abc, you just don't need to get tricky (or stupid in the case of that hand).

I can see how this play would work for you seeing as you probably would let him bluff a busted flush on the river.

I still don't know if I'm for or against this play though.
