Message: [QUOTE="vanquish, post: 799455, member: 20188"] lol stop crying. i didn't say you were _wrong_ i offered you advice on how to play the hand better. you make no sense because you're being results oriented. what you're saying is like saying "well if i raised 10x BB with JT and guy called with J3 and flop came JJT and i won his stack was i not right to raise that much?" the point is your 7x BB raise worked because the other guy was an idiot, but you want to balance your raises towards something reasonable (like 3x, 4x, or 3x+1 for every limper, etc) esp against unknowns. when you play more 25max and up, you'll see why raising 7x from UTG with AA is not as profitable as raising to a smaller (more standard) amount. i would say its reasonable to say that you play more tournaments than cash games. thus it is important for you to learn how to adapt to cash game play (protecting equity less, balancing ranges + maximizing value more) [/QUOTE]
