    Default Can I get a little run good?

    This hand happened in MFTOPS #1 tonight. As I write this I'm currently sitting with starting stack at 120/240, 25 ante. This hand doesn't require much "analysis" because he made an outstandingly stupid play that got rewarded. This DOES NOT make him a good player. This kind of goes back to some other threads where people discussed having a plan for the hand. I'm 100% sure this guy didn't have a plan because of HOW the action unfolded. Here it is:

    Full Tilt Poker Game #26240778228: MiniFTOPS Event #1 (190556525), Table 308 - 100/200 - No Limit Hold'em - 22:50:37 ET - 2010/12/08

    Here is my plan/thinking for that hand.

    My plan for that hand didn't include calling shoves by either player. Based on the action though, I knew his jam wasn't an over pair or even a set. He flatted from the SB, which in my opinion (and 80+ hands of history) excluded all pocket pairs from his range and more than likely put him in the suited connector to big suited A range. His check/jam was supposed to run my hand out because he probably misranged me because I had be very active the previous few hands. I was hammering flops left and right and rebuilding my stack after a minor misstep 15 hands earlier. He more than likely put me on missing the little flop and thought I was buying. I can see where his thinking comes from because people don't usually hammer multiple flops in a row with quality cards. However, I didn't need to hammer to be ahead of him because of where I ranged him and how he was playing. I expected him to call my bet and check to me on the turn. If that happened I planned on putting him all in, as long as there wasn't a flush on the board, and watching him time down and fold. My backup was that he folded and we carried on with my stack healthier than before. I didn't expect any resistance from the PFR. He check his first action which is extremely weak based on that flop. If he had an over pair I would expect to see some form of a continuation bet, which he didn't do. I ranged him on a big A or possibly a mid non suited connector. As we see he probably had the big A and got out of the way because of the extreme strength shown by the check raise from the SB.

    When he jammed I reassessed my thinking and made sure I had no holes in where I put him and measured the possibilty of him having an over pair vs the pot odds. I was only behind an overpair, which really wasn't in his range based on previous observations. The pot odds more than justified my call.

    This call is 100% good. Reads on the hand are either a medium pair or overs. Mediums that hit will trap call, missed ones with check/shove. (Or check/call if they are good). Overs do this move every time. Unless they are good and can fold.

    I like the move, hate the result, but love the use of spoiler tag!
