Assani's Poker Thread (2 Viewers)

:lmao: :lmao:

larry, wanna play heads-up for a few hundred bucks?

remember you won't lose, because you'll never be all-in.

1. no, don't have a few hundred to spare...2. at some point you do go all in, just not 5 hands in a tournament you paid $10,000 to get into...
Click to expand...
So, what about heads up play? If you and Cappy play heads up for $1,000 and you get AA first hand, are you going to lay it down?
Click to expand...
more than likely I would go all-in with AA in heads up...
Click to expand...
:lmao: at "more than likely".What if you have KK and Cappy shows you AK?

 
How does LB end up hijacking all of these cool threads? I want to read about how Assani is going to cash in the WSOP main event, not how LB is going to fold quad Aces to an aggressive reraise with a straigh flush draw on the board.
Click to expand...
who said fold quad aces?I would raise aggresively with AA (probably 5-10X the BB)... If a pair is flopped nad the other person goes all-in, I'd probably fold...

if an A comes up in the flop (and the other 2 cards are not paired) I'd probably go all-in... if it comes A and a pair, I'd probably see what the other person did and call pretty much anything they did, if they do nothing, I'd bet big (maybe even all) after the next card (as long as it isn't A and 3 of a kind))

I agree that you have to fold AA on a scary flop. 5-10x BB is way too much of a raise preflop. No you wouldn't just "go all in" when you have trip aces...you'd want to slowplay it a bit more to get action on it. And still, you are crazy to ever not try to get all of the money in the pot preflop if you can when you have AA.
 
Alias, you've met your match.

Alias:  "Don't go all in when you're a 52/48 favorite."

LB:  "Don't go all in when you're a 99/1 favorite."

1. 4-to-1 is not 99/1, it is 80/20...2. I said don't go in early... There are still 8,000 people in the tourney, why are you going all in? No reason to go all-in that early in a tournament when you aren't garunteed to win...

I say you raise, see the flop, and if you hit something good on the flop (another A) then you bet huge and slowplay and MAYBE go all-in at the end... why risk it if you aren't garunteed to win? Let the other sucker be eliminated, don't risk yourself...
Click to expand...
Of course you're not just going to go all in- you'd get no action with that. But if you get re-raised and have the chance to get all in preflop, then you take it.
 
You guys hating on Larry...didn't Dentist preach the same philosophy, the All-In minus one schtick?

Larry Boy is just scaling this strategy down a little. If you have one chip left, anything is possible.

Larry, we love ya man, but this may be the most horrific poker advice in print. 5-10X BB raise preflop on AA? If you flop trip aces, but the board is paired, you're worried about quads? Make me feel better and tell me you're :fishing:
Click to expand...
no, I'm kind of thinking out loud...But, and I'm being completely honest here, why not just completely not be willing to go all-in early in a tournament unless you have the best possible hand? I don't understand why you would want to go all in if you might lose so early on in a tourney...
Click to expand...
Assume that you're an average player- that means you have a 50% chance of doubling up in a tournament. If you're better, then you have slightly more of a chance of doubling up in an average tourney. NO PLAYER IS GOOD ENOUGH TO DOUBLE UP IN 80% OF THE TOURNAMENTS. Therefore, you have to take that 4-1 edge.
 
So because I'm really really stupid, I'm probably not going to get much sleep again tonight. My buddy and I met two girls and its their last night in town tonight, so we're going out with them instead of getting to sleep early. Pics might be provided later.

I'd say that hes in my top 20 or so list of posters that if I see hes posting a lot in a thread I'd be much more inclined to click on it to see whats going on.

Me too. The LB shtick is some of my favorite. It's even better because it's not really shtick.

Good move. They probably won't be around tomorrow night anyway.Would it have been easier to just light 10K on fire and save yourself the trip? :confused:

it's "The Lawarence Taylor"
 
it's really a shame this thread has dissolved into trying to raise Larry Boy's IQ above 35 with some semblance of explaining how you can't possibly not go all-in when you have an 80:20 advantage.

i think it was johnny chan who said you have to survive at least 10 all-ins to win a tournament of this magnitude. but i guess if he followed larry boy's strategy, he would never win a tournament. let's see, a guy with 10 bracelets or larry boy? who am i going to listen to?

if you ask hellmuth if he'd go all-in preflop with AA, i'm guessing he'd say yes. if you asked him if he would go all-in with AA on a flop of A 9 2 with two spades when he doesn't have a spade, he'd say yes.

if you are going to fold these situations you are going to lose money. period.

when did I say I'd fold?? I just said I wouldn't push to all in...

Please stop ruining this thread, do you know how many people will be reading this after Assani makes the final table?

Here are most of the important quotes.

I was wondering if any FBG'ers are planning to play in any of the other WSOP events 40-45? I am probably going to play in Event 44. I hope Assani is still alive in the Main Event at that time, so I can stop over to watch him play. GL Assani and Boston Fred too.

I'm not saying not to bet on AA, I'm saying don't go all-in when you have $15,000 chips early in a tournament like the Main Event, its not worth it when bad beats happen...

bet $10 K? Sure... I could see that...

but don't go all in unless you KNOW you are going to win...

Go make your own thread. When so many people tell you to stop, usually a good idea to do so.
