Pocket 3's crushing it... (i know its bovada). The Big Dog gave me the balls to rip it! That's how pocket 3's gets it done! lol. I also lost straight flush over straight flush in this tournament.

could you post the hand link on the podcast so ppl can follow along?

And I would not mind getting this in against a random in a $5 on Lock. So I would get it in here.

That being said, I'm not very good.

Haha this is a fair point.

I agree with all of bennys criticisms fwiw, 

i am not saying the aggressive line isnt that good just that i thought bigdog dismissed what marc was saying, whilst also not having a super clear understanding of what hand he was talking about. 

once again only my perception. 

I agreed with casey on raising, and i think were the biggest disagreement came from was the fact that Marc thought we were looking to get it in right there, when what we were trying to highlight was that our equity is still decent for the smaller % of the time when we have to get it in.  And when you add that to the benefits of raising, we liked the aggressive line.

I think we got really sidetracked by our miscommunication. 

That said, I agree that marc made some really good points to defend his position.   It is an interesting hand.  

so what happens if we raise the flop and get called? do we bet-fold turn? check call and put ourselves in an even worse spot in an even more bloated pot?

once again i am sorry if this sounds harsh, but what big dog is saying on the turn is completely incongruous to what he was saying on the flop

lastly, i really like the discussion about bombing the turn to make it look strong against the floaters, but once again, it has absolutely nothing to do with the hand in question

there are so many times when he is discussing the hand with jlude where he completely forgets the scenario, and just shuts down marc even though marc is talking a lot of sense.  

its almost like he didnt look at the hand before coming on the podcast, and he also frequently talks about how people play against him rather than analyse the dynamics going on between the two players in question, which makes his lines somewhat irrelevant. 

he also says how he is happy getting it in in this spot, and then when marc quizzes him about it he changes his stance. marc had a great point when he asked what can stand a raise here, and its really only AK, AA, 99, and QQ with the Qs. 

against that range we are only 61%, and the only hands that give us action on further streets are the ones that have us beat. 

have to say marc is completely right on this one imo, and unfortunately it seems that big dog doesnt like taking criticism and didnt prepare fully. 

sorry if thats harsh, obv you can tell me to get back in my box, but i think it ruined a really interesting hand to discuss
