67 has the same value as 77
Because of the possibility of making a straight. Post flop its equity drops way down. It's the same with AKs, with AKs you can make the nut straight/nut flush, but after the flop it's equity drops to about twenty percent assuming you've got a pair.
How the heck do you call that short stacked have you even read the hand positions stack sizes?
And why do you say other tables are you too saying these players were terrible and they all just got extremely lucky outlasting 81 other players.
How many times have you been in the money ? Are you a million from playing poker? Are you the best player you ever met?
I didn't say short stacked, I said you had a small stack, 13 bigs is not that much, and it's not a stack size you can play around with.
No, I'm not saying these players were terrible, I'm saying they made the wrong decision not to c-bet and reraise you most of the time you flat called. By doing what you did you showed a huge weakness in your game.
I get in the money most of the time I play tournaments. I haven't won on
pokerstars but on the site I usually play on, betfred, I usually win about 60% of the time. No I'm not a millionaire from playing poker, but there is a big difference from being a millionaire poker player and the rest of us. Millionaire poker players are usually the best of the best of the best. Go one stage down there are the people who make their livings through the game, then there are the highly skilled amateurs, then there are the various ranks of amateur players.
And I don't need to be great to point out that what you did was wrong. Poker is basically a mathematical equation, you had decent equity against a wide range of his hands, so absent of a read on him that suggests to you that he's got a better hand than you have you should've shoved, because you would've gone from having 13 bb to having 26, and thus wouldn't have been under threat of being blinded out.
