Week 11 roll call

[Pears27]

Annoying to have FT bubbled when my Q9 button shove met with a speculative call in the BB with kings

FWIW I take exactly the same line as Tod on 3-betting teammates. I also knocked Charles out last night, as AA was just about inside my pf calling range.

I did have a bit of a "great team play or chip dumping?" quandry in week 10 - will post it when I can be bothered (currently in the process of busting early in a GUKPT side event in Coventry...)

imo that is actually good team play.

The UTG raise is usually going to look strong, particularly with a team mate in the big blind, and there is a good chance it will fold all the way round... so UTG nicks the team mate"s big blind..... but the nett result is that the chips stay within the team. 

If the UTG doesn"t raise to take his team mate"s big blind, you can be sure as hell that someone else will - nett result is that the chips are lost to the team.
