*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to FR Vessant [9d 2d]
ampg74: folds
bababoyey125: folds
FR Vessant: raises 1270 to 1670 and is all-in

Have to shove any two here.

shuggen: calls 1270

He has JT. I think that's a bad call but I'm not sure. I haven't been shoving that light (passed a couple of ATC shoves at t200a25 that wouldn't have changed my position much to preserve fold equity for this level and bababoyey125 keeps limping in front of me, making it impossible to shove trash for fear of the limp/call) so he has to expect a reasonably standard range. Most villains will shove any A, K, Q or pair and some connectors, but not enormously wide.

Dealt to FR Vessant [6d 9d]
shuggen said, "probably the best call you've ever seen"

They always think they're wonderful when they guess right or suck out.

FR Vessant said, "no"
bababoyey125: folds
FR Vessant said, "I haven't been pushing that light"

Don't coach them, you fool.

shuggen plays tightish and was breakeven when I Scoped him a while back. This hand probably shows why. In his shoes, I'd have folded and shoved myself next hand.

FR Vessant: folds
shuggen: raises 163 to 563 and is all-in
ampg74: calls 163
FR Vessant said, "QT, maybe"
FR Vessant said, "JT bad"

Which I think is about right. I'm not certain though. Maybe he has to call with any reasonable hand. I should check it out.
