    Yeh - makes sense. It was a debate in my head. Either way with his specific hand it didn’t matter since he mucked immediately with no showdown, but his value range is so weighted towards flushes imo, and nut flushes might honestly make up the majority of that range

    I play the 5/5 at the Gardens, is the multiple straddle a new thing for the 5/5/10? I know in the other games only 1 straddle is allowed. I think the multiple straddles is bad for poker but good for gambling. Especially when it is an 800 cap, that is wild, although I know the stacks can get big in that game quickly.

    Hi Brantzen, I play the 5/5 at the Garden, im pretty successful at this limit and want to try the 5/5/10. Last time I checked, the max buyin was $800. Do you always sit down with $500? Is there a bomb pot everytime a new player arrive?

  • @BrantzenPoker

    @BrantzenPoker

    11 ай бұрын

    Every new player, dealer change, and new setup, there’s a bomb pot. I sit down with $500 just for the first hand, because I want to have the option to play aggressively in the bomb pot without having to dust a full buyin in my very first hand lol. If I don’t win/get involved in that first hand, I top up to 800

    6:30. This might be another lunatic. I cannot see what hand would played this way?? Neither pocket AA, nor flush would've played this way. Unless he had a pocket KK with one of "h"? Set a trap on flop, then got scared on turn card (worst one for a pocket KK!!). Then, after you bet the river, he decided to go tooooo defensive, bluffing, believing you'll fold smaller flush, weak A (??). Again, no idea.
