[DennisG90]

As I was railing some highstakes online poker on FTP, the following hand occured (its HU btw):

In general, it just seems that DB has once again been cold decked, but still:
Is there any way you could get away from this hand or even lose less money? They were 120BB deep, so a lot of room to play. And in how far would it change your answer to my question, if this was a 6-max game?

I don't think stacks are deep enough in this spot to say the Ace high flush can fold. In most 6 max online games, I don't think I'm folding here.

[5carab]

Not only are the stacks not deep enough, but he's vs. Gus Hansen. From what I have heard he plays CRAZY in those HU PLO games.

[JohnLance]

I don't think that when you're playing against the best in the world you need to think about stack sizes more than meta-game considerations. I (David) would have been thinking more about what Gus thought I had.

against a super aggro very capable of using many gears gus hansen the A high flush draw is extremely strong. I mean it is a cooler and folding these kinds of hands to gus on a regular basis is going to lead to him bluffing a ton at you and forcing you to fold so many hands

[JackHo]

damn what a monster hand he got out of it.... damn

[Ondal]

I can't see myself folding. Gus is sure to have a flush, but the chances of him having exactly Q9 is so low it's unthinkable. Just have to stick this lose under "I got unlucky".

[LaVacheBeadsman]

That's absolutely brutal. In no way is anyone ever folding to Gus there.
