What?
Actually, I really liked your analysis of this hand fluzi.. & prior to reading ur post it was in line with what I was thinking (OMG.. imagine that!?!?! sick thought or what?).
Thanks for taking the time to post it! (& gl in the $5mil Anniv!!!!)
Ok ill explain what, Pre flop the guy with A 10 raises 2.5 BB, the guy with 4s 7s only calls this bet, if he had a premium pair there is no way he would have just called he would have re-raised, if he calls with a premium pair he knows the Big Blind is highly likely to call too for an extra 1.5 BB to see a flop, the last thing a guy wants with a premium pair is to get involved in a 3 way pot with it.
Ok so this explains why the guy with A 10 does not have to worry about being up against an overpair, now to worrying about being up against a set, very short and simple if you are put all in after the flop by a guy with a set you are playing a guy who is an idiot, if he had a set he would want to extract the most money he could from this situation and by shoving all in is not a way he is going to do this.
So, glad i have cleared that up, if the guy who has A 10 is a good player he would not have been worried about a set or an overpair in this situation (unlike mr statto above lol) he would know he was up against exactly what he was up against, which was a flush draw.
And, like i said, a good player would not turn down 2/1 odds when he knows he is favorite to win the hand.
Oh and bonflizubi if you are in the sunday million how abouts you and i return to thisa thread tomorrow and we both publish what position we finish in?
