Ted Forrest Giving Lessons

Professor Ted
Professor Ted
After laying down a hand to Ted, a player asked if Ted would have folded to an all-in bet. Ted said no. The player asked if the bet had been pre-flop; Ted said yes. Then the discussion moved to when to make the move with the semi-short stack and Ted was more than willing to open the school and discussion the various times to make the short stack move. The lesson ended with another player at the table offering:

"But none of that applies to today."

No King For The Bing(er)

The money goes in after the turn, with the board reading {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{K-Hearts} Michael Binger shows {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} for Jacks Full. His opponent shows {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, and is thinking one of his two heart outs, which he calls for. But the river is the {K-Diamonds}, and Binger's jacks full is suddenly trumped by his opponents Kings full of Queens. Binger takes a 20k hit, but still has a solid stack.

....and Minneapolis Jim Meehan continues to entertain. When his BB is raised 5X, he ponders and offers:
"Well let's see:
-I have the second best hand with my Jacks;
-I am out of positon;
-and I am covered 2 to 1;
this seems like an appropriate fold and after that insightful analysis, I will do just that---fold."
