Help yourself......

re KK v 1010 hand
With the 10s stack of only £30ish behind, surely there is only a fold or all in move available.
If the opponent is playing AK etc strongly then why just call, as when the ace comes on the flop he would have no fold equity by pushing at that point(giving just enough odds to call).
I am probably wrong and if i am this explain why i'm rubbish at cash.
PS Sarah you really should be wary of what you say.I quote" I like to come home to a wagging tail". OH NO JUST THINK OF THE REPLIES hehe

Guess I got that one wrong!
I had hoped that viewers or players might do exactly that, but it transpired I was wrong.
If I throw enough darts at the board, I'll occassionally hit a bullsyeye though.
There's some background here.
On the back of a continuing committment to the "education" quotient of Sky Poker.com, the message came down from on high "let's change the balance a bit between education & entertainment".
As part of that, Dave Bland asked us all, but particularly those of us with a Studio or Forum platform, to try to increase awareness & use of the Poker Clinic. Not so that the ANALYSTS can (try to) "teach" you guys, because in most cases, we can only help the newer players, but to encourage the better players, such as you, to Post more in the Poker Clinic. Because we can ALL learn from you guys.
Now, I have just finished three Live Shows on the bounce - Thursday, Saturday, & Sunday, & in those, I pummelled the message long, hard & repeatedly - "use the Poker Clinic".
So, before Saturday's Show, I was musing on ways of raising the awareness even more. And came up with the daft idea of starting this Thread, with a view to getting "TV Hands" on here. But I never really thought it through to it's logical conclusion - in that we could/should Post the hands up. Assuming, of course, Mr or Miss Hand-Picker has the time, during the actual transmission.
That's the background.
I should add that I set aside some time to reply to you, because your point was valid, & well made. Whereas I ignored the Gentleman who yesterday Posted "post the hands you ****". Answers, I hope, reflect the quality of the question, eh?
BTW, I observed your play on MasterCash yet again on Saturday. You have some game there bud, incredibly efficient & optimal. You don't leave much behind, do you? I'm not sure it's do-ble from either party, but I'd love to have you in the Studio one night.
Think you guys should still come in on our hands for the helping hand, although i can understand you are very busy and it isnt a necessaty just would be nice
i woud love to be on the show, maybe next time im down south i will get in touch and try to get something arranged.
I am pretty much the same as you in that I prefer text hand histories rather than graphic ones. However, there is a way of doing this with one main drawback, i.e, a lack of stack sizes.
Getting a text only hand history.
If you observe a table and see a hand you think was interesting, you can do the following although it requires some editing:
- Go to the chat box, click Scroll Lock to yes.
- Set Chat type to 'No Player Chat'
- Select some of the text, press Ctrl+A (select all) and then Ctrl+C (copy).
- Paste into a notepad/word file and then delete away the excess information
Not ideal I know, but should get us part of the way towards being able to post hands in a way that allows some debate about it. An example hand would be like this, which was from a DYM sit and go running a few moments ago./>Beginning a new hand.276935472
/>gentjim posted a small blind 75.
/>HOG60 posted a big blind 150.
/>syplums folded
/>PCR called for 150.
/>666bumpy called for 150.
/>gentjim called for 75.
/>HOG60 checked.
/>Dealing the flop (9c,9s,Ah).
/>gentjim checked.
/>HOG60 checked.
/>PCR bet 450.
/>666bumpy folded
/>gentjim folded
/>HOG60 folded
/>PCR mucked.
/>PCR has won the hand (1,050)
/>The hand has finished.
Main obvious problem is that it doesn't include stack sizes, but a rough recollection of those should be helpful if they can be added.
Again, I know this isn't an ideal way to do it, but it is something which we could try...
