I had totally forgotten there were prizes associated with this aside from Phil breaking down the hand. So I'm simultaneously disappointed (about not getting my hand picked apart - the highest value prize imo) and excited (about my membership getting a 3 month booster for free).

Since I already have a subscribed account, can I just pm my details and get a 3-month extension, or does it have to be a free account that gets upgraded?

It should be fine to upgrade your existing account.

Whaaaaaattt insane!

I kind of wish I left a little more details about my thoughts at the time about the hand.

Awesome thanks a lot to CC for the opportunity I am kind of speechless at the moment but super stoked to hear from Phil and of course for the membership at runitonce!

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Looking back I feel like it is a pretty clear call and don't think I was ever close to folding in-game either although I can admit I didn't snap the river shove.

At this level villain probably ships AA for value which means we are always calling especially with a sample size of 73 hands. Not much post flop info with only 73 hands and narrowing his range to nuts/2nd nuts for shoving that river based on his nitty preflop stats would be silly although I doubt it goes any further then AA which is all we need.

Also I can't really explain river sizing maybe I went to pot and misclick added another BB lol

I just recently started re-reading some stuff and one of the sections I just read was how stats even after ~500 hands(And more/less etc...) can be misleading although I'm sure that doesn't mean much in this spot.

Maybe I am wrong though does a nit really just ship this river with AA or worse ?!

I am pretty excited to hear Phil's analysis on this one. I am also super stoked on the runitonce membership.

Thanks again CC I am soooooo stoked sorry for the double post but I am honestly(obviously) super happy about this. :D

What? lol I must need to re-read the OP cause atm I don't know what your talking about lol...

On a side note I think my 5-3 hand was way better then my JJ hand but maybe it's cause I was to late with the 5-3 hand

Yes - he didn't just spend a few minutes on this hand and make a few quick statements - he really went through it.

Totally thought I posted in this thread a while ago but just to confirm results, I called, villain had KK.

After reading through this review from phil a few times I can honestly say I've learned a lot about how and what I should be thinking during hands. This one hand alone has helped me improve my thought process during hands by a huge amount. I honestly didn't think I was going to learn as much from just one hand but I can say I was honestly blown away.

fwiw here is my comments from the previous thread

Again thanks a lot to CC for the promotion I have been watching a lot of sulsky vids lately:D
