    I get what Norm was saying there, and I kind of understand the raise from the short stack (try to get everyone else in), but I don't know exactly why it was just a call from the raiser. "Not a lot of hands he'll fold on the flop"--I am trying to think of anything. Not that it's a bad play, just...interesting.

    The way it's ridiculous is not that it's 1 in 20. It has to do with the "why" and the hands they are up against. More went into it.

    Top pair heads up short stacked 3-2 …not a horrible play. Playing J8 off got him killed though.

    Heads up the hand strengths don't mean as much. J 8 has possibilities heads up that shrink as more hands are dealt in.
