Which one was your friend?

I am guessing he is referring to ~~joosseus~~ since his ace high card held up?

I reread it...scratch my first guess, I am (now) sure his friend was *mcb13100* and he is wondering(upset) as to how joos hand held up.

Yeah, b/c after the flop the guy had a gazillion outs. Any jack (3), any ten (3), any king (4), any 8 (4) and any club (7). That's 21 outs with 2 cards to come making mcb a 71% favorite after the flop.

Regardless of who is friends with whom..... Dude A got short stacked and pushed in with an Ace UTG. Looks reasonable to me. Dude B called Dude A's all in with JTs. He was last to act and had to call 1077 to win a pot of 1377, giving him not exactly great odds.

If he felt like gambling, sure, gamble, I guess. And against Dude A's range, he's probably in pretty decent shape. I don't hate the call, but I don't love it either.

I should've clarified. Joosseus is the friend I was referring to. Marky Mark, er, Reel Deal explained exactly what I was talking about. The A high held which was cool. It's not often you see somebody with 21outs twice completely miss. If I'm not mistaken I think mcb was more than 71% favorite on flop, closer to 82%, yes?
