We're either slightly ahead or huge dogs (ok, to be fair we're a good deal ahead of A2-A6 and flipping vs 22-66). Now we could call if the pot were large enough and it wasn't much to call, but this one just isn't it. We've committed practically nothing. Fold.

in real money games, the preflop raise is quite fine.
With A7s from early middle? I've read a lot of poker books, (okay, I'm only on my 3rd) but I've yet to find one that recommends a raise with A7s from early middle position.I never said online poker is rigged. I said it could be rigged, and I said that I found one site where at least some of the play-money games are rigged. And I now play at a site where I do not think the play money sites are rigged.And, I'm not putting any money into online poker, because even if it isn't rigged, there are a bazillion players that are way better than me that are waiting to take my money.What does any of that have to do with this thread?
With his big stack raising is acceptable.
Ahhhh... that is what I missed. He has more than twice as many chips as anyone else.... Okay, makes sense now. Keep the preasure on knowing they could lose all their chips on any hand.Someone willing to play back at the big stack makes this all the more of a fold. yes?

all of your opinions are tainted by the fact you are irrational.I just want to remind others.what we do here with As7s with our stack.blind ratio is immaterial, really.**************8

Meh. Even playing big stack poker when you're deep, I just don't see raising with A7s from E/MP - too many people left to act behind you. I don't like the pf raise at all. If you were in the hijack, CO, or Button it's an easy raise. From your position, it's an easy fold.Anyway, fold to the shove. Not even close.

Ok, so clearly this thread is not getting much good discussion going. I actually wasn't invovled in this hand. I was railing a friend of mine in the 100r and it came up with a very well known player. Is this kind of play that seperates the KWOB's of the world from everyone else, or is he just a luckbox that makes bad decisions but wins every race?PokerStars Game #6842193965: Tournament #34619044, $100+$9 Hold'em No Limit - Level V (75/150) - 2006/10/31 - 15:28:33 (ET)Table '34619044 1' 9-max Seat #6 is the buttonSeat 1: DAJ6666 (8225 in chips) Seat 2: kwob20 (18670 in chips) Seat 4: RandALLin (14905 in chips) Seat 5: karecon (9260 in chips) Seat 6: jochen8 (4250 in chips) Seat 7: FrozenVeins (9230 in chips) Seat 8: ZULEH (3720 in chips) Seat 9: jpa_25 (5605 in chips) FrozenVeins: posts small blind 75ZULEH: posts big blind 150*** HOLE CARDS ***jpa_25: folds DAJ6666: folds kwob20: raises 300 to 450RandALLin: folds karecon: folds jochen8: folds FrozenVeins: folds ZULEH: raises 3270 to 3720 and is all-inkwob20: calls 3270*** FLOP *** [Jh As 6s]*** TURN *** [Jh As 6s] [2c]*** RIVER *** [Jh As 6s 2c] [Qc]*** SHOW DOWN ***ZULEH: shows [4s 4d] (a pair of Fours)kwob20: shows [7d Ad] (a pair of Aces)kwob20 collected 7515 from pot*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 7515 | Rake 0 Board [Jh As 6s 2c Qc]Seat 1: DAJ6666 folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 2: kwob20 showed [7d Ad] and won (7515) with a pair of AcesSeat 4: RandALLin folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 5: karecon folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 6: jochen8 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 7: FrozenVeins (small blind) folded before FlopSeat 8: ZULEH (big blind) showed [4s 4d] and lost with a pair of FoursSeat 9: jpa_25 folded before Flop (didn't bet)

Meh. He's just running well. I hate the call, I hate the raise. I hate that sort of player (probably because I just can't effectively play lagtard).

You go from Easy fold in MP1 to Easy Raise in MP3 wih big stack and As7s.regardless of whether it's good or bad, it's absolutely ridiculous to go from one extreme to another in 2 spots with our stack. ludichris
You can't pretend he didn't say that, though, if you've got his quote nested in your post. Love starts with you, Sir.
If I were him, I"d change it to "bite mine"But that's because I'm funny and don't take me seriously.

You're wrong.In MP1 you have 6 people to act behind you.In MP3 you have 4 people to act behind you.That's a third less players to deal with, making it absolutely not ridiculous to go from an easy fold to an easy raise.

You're wrong.
I can count.Poker is not so clearly defined.But keep thinking that way.Our stack is big enough to limp this from UTG at the right tableit's certainly not "wrong" to point out that your plays are too clear cut for 2 postions. See our stack? You also have no reads on table (except we are aggressive and BB is quiet)You are looking sillyPreflop is pretty unimportant right here, within reasonable plays.your turn
