well first and foremost what is the stack size?! that's kind of important. I wouldn't raise A6o oop as a standard especially to not then play it passively post flop when we can barely ever be good. Posted by beaneh
Hard to really comment on this as this hand is being examined in a vacuum. I don't mind the raise with A6 or checking the flop as it's very much in the caller's ballpark. However I hate the call on the turn with a passion. You've refused to C-Bet the flop as it's a callers flop but then suddenly thought A high or a baby 1 card flush draw might be good? I really don't like the change in line in the hand.
Just my opinion and as I said before, all these comments are related to a hand out of context with no other information (never played the villain myself I believe).
Some interesting thoughts on here and of course Beaneh raises a good point about context and stack sizes being of the utmost importance.
The hand itself was interesting the way that I personally felt both players played the hand in quite a restrained way. yi1988 ended up showing down J-8 for a flopped bottom two pair. The hand only makes sense to me if he was intending on check-raising an expected c-bet from Gliterbabe. Otherwise I'd personally feel that board is too wet to let Wayne catch something, a view which is probably endorsed when two wet cards kill his action on the turn and river.
Anyone disagree? Props to Dan by the way for nailing the hand.

Conclusion: the hand makes no/very little sense to me.
