Holiday Poker is the best poker!

yes

in fact i fold relatively strong hands like ATo or KTo to 3-bets some times because they play so horribly postflop. suited connectors and pairs are easier to play and so i rarely fold them if i'm 100+bb deep.

in this hand we're both over 200bb deep, i have suited gappers and i have a massive postflop advantage over my opponent (i mean just look at the flop/turn play). i would probably fold (maybe 50% of the time?) to the same opponent if we were only 100bb deep.

i've become much more liberal with calling 3-bets as i've got more competent postflop HU.

Good explanation. I was about to ask the same question.

Instinctively, I would have wanted to pitch the 52 in the first hand when he 3 bet, but your explanation makes good sense. I would have called (quickly) the second hand - Like you said, there guys are terrible.

And I'm glad it's possible to get used to and not bothered by the shortstack hit and run... cause I'm not there yet. I hate those pricks.
