    In Response to Re: Question for Mickjenn1:
    His 3-bet shove over a raise and a flat call is a strong move that will make most hands fold and pick up a lot of chips, I've seen it done lighter than 77. Aggresive poker is winning poker, MickJenns results prove that. Obviously AA and KK are always calling in your spot, but not much else. I think you played your hand very well, when you hold KK you absolutely want to induce a shove from hands like 77, you did exactly that but got unlucky this time. If you had made a bigger raise and he had folded that would have been a worse play.  All you can do in poker is make optimal decisions, there's nothing you can do about the luck, if you can consistantly make optimal decisions you are guaranteed to be a winning player in the long run. The luck always evens out over time, even for MickJenn. You'll get him another time.

    Gary i dont think ive ever seen such a great post regarding aggression in poker.

    I think against any good player (except mayb Wacko and MickJenn) i fold QQ or less. AK, KK and AA is my calling range in honesty to that re-raise.

    Although against agro players its even more important to open that calling range as you said youve seen it done lighter as have i.

    standard hand, its played fine by both you and villain, although I prefer a bigger raise pre.

    What are you saying about being good enough to fold? Folding KK pre here would be horrible, you still lose sometimes, thats poker

    I've seen a large number of MickJenn's hands on t'tele - quite a few times I've been on the same table too, think he's a v.good, v.aggro player.

    Surely, anyone who's seen him play or knows him, now knows this is Mick's modus operandi? I'd be calling a 3-bet Mick shove with 10s, or better...?
