€30 tourney in the new place in blaaland
Hero 10,500 stack - just above starting.
Blinds 150-300
Hero would be described as Laggyish. Dumped half my stack in the 2nd hand when I turned a straight with 9 10 vs a higher straight(This was justified as the guy was Nino who is fairly spewy)
Built it back with a few small pots. Nothing spectacular. Table was a dream - passive enough. Usually only 2 or 3 to a flop
Onto a dodgy spot:
I open AKcc UTG for 650
5 callers including UTG+1 and UTG+2) - Others came along for value including BB who was playing 4k
Flop A 6 6 rainbow
BB ships
Fuck my life moment with 4 players behind and a hand that is destroying the BB range.
Options: (a) Call and pray no reshove - fold to reshove
(b) Fold like a bitch
(c) Reshove - Insanity
(d) Call and call reshove

Isolate like?
3900 pot pre, he ships for pot, you ship for pot. Happy days?
Or do we actually want to bring others along? maybe weaker aces that could turn a higher two pair?
Dunno if we are putting the BB on a 6, or ace rag.﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿

It's all about the table dynamic, naturally if people are passive its all about pumping it. Spewy fish = nit it up
The 5 callers was a bit weird. First real multi-way hand.
Onto the hand - Naturally I put him on Ace rag and yes I do want weaker aces to call/shove after me obviously. If I reshove to isolate into 4 players an ace is folding and a 6 is never folding. Hence I thought a reshove is insaneLast edited by The Aul Switcharoo; 12-03-13, 19:25.Redbet at the Dublin Poker Invasion FTW

Which of the well known fish is he
Not nearly enough info here but not a nice decision with 4 players behind you.
I probably fold & keep my 30BB for a better position

Ace rag is what I put him on hence I had him destroyed..basically a stop and go. He was valued into the hand by the callers and just saw the ace and shipped. He was the shortyRedbet at the Dublin Poker Invasion FTW

as I said tough spot but would want to be a poor player to shove INTO 5 Players with A rag

Shipping any 6 is Mick in a decent tournament, but not in a €30 tournament in Waterford, or Clonmel for that matter. If he's a very competent player he knows he will get called by a lot of A's & sure the last thing they'll put him on is a 6
It's still a very tough spot with 4/5 players behind him

Basically a 6 shouldn't be shoving as they lose value from someone hero folding an ace or the fact that he could get people to commit to his shorty check shove
What about call - folding to reshove? Is this bad because it kinda sounds bad in my headRedbet at the Dublin Poker Invasion FTW

Had shoved last orbit in BB after 3 limpers & showed 104s.
Rest of table pretty ABC but SB is decent player.
One other stack about the same, rest all 100-160k.
Folded to SB playing 140k who raises to 9k.
Look down at KQo
Hero?
I shove here. His bet could be to induce, but with 17 bbb's, unless I have a soulread on him here, Im reshipping the KQ blind v blind.

Why basically tell the entire table that when its a great way for us to accumulate and get light shoves through. More than likely we'll be shoving napkins in other hands so let's no encourage light calls.
+1.
What Peter says here makes perfect sense. Because you are the short stack at the table, you will have to be shoving your 17bb's around the place trying to maintain your stack until hopefully being called when you shove with an actual hand.
It should be costing some player 17bb's to see what you are capable of shoving with. I know people put up the arguement that by showing, you are more likely to get called when you shove with a hand. But with 17bb's, you are not going to have the time to wait for that hand, and 9 times out of 10 you are going to have to shove bags of spanners (or napkins as Peter elequently puts it!).

Advice please
Advice on how to play this hand. I was playing in an online tournament $25 double stack on I poker. Was going steady enough sitting around 14th out of 34 players remaining. Then I found myself with pocket 6 on the button. Blinds are 400/800 with antes. Everyone folds around and it's up to me to act. So SB has about 6k and BB has same stack as me 14k. I decided to jam my stack and was called by AQ hearts as a result it cost me my stack as BB flops top two pair. Any adivce on what I should o done here. I was thinking raise/ fold to a shove. Please help all advice welcome. Always open to trying to improve my game.

Can someone tell me if i'm doing this correct?
Blinds 500/1000 and folded to me on the button. SB and BB have a FoldtoSteal% of 75% and 80%. (ignoring antes) so .75 x .8 = 60% fold
I open to 2k and for arguements sake, i just snap fold if i'm called or raised.
60% of the time i pick up 1500 uncontested so .6 of 1500 is 900
40% of the time i lose 2000 so .4 of 2000 is 800
So a steal with any 2 cards there is worth +100 chips
or in Big Blinds
Win 60 x 1.5=90
Lose 40 x 2=80
profit of 10 bigs, or .1bb per steal?

Especially playing 6 max, your ability to isolate in position gives you an even greater edge I would think

I'm just thinking that he might be 3betting broadways, Ax and some pairs (as they do in this game) so i'm hoping to be ahead at showdown or pick up whats in the middle without showdown. Having the Ace blocker helps too! You could be right tho, i'm deep enough to wait for a better spot.

I thought immediately when i read it, auto fold but decided to run ranges in pokerstove
Maybe these ranges are a tad wide but just went with them
Gave the HJ the following range 22+,A7s+,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,ATo+,KTo+,QJo
CO 77+,ATs+,KQs,AJo+
Hero 55
Also cos you didn't give stack sizes just bb's, I just done calculations given average stack, entrants and how many were left so blinds were 2-4k avg was 60kish I think, not sure if there is antes though but I assume there is.
So 8 players(I assume) 4k in antes, 32k(thats all u can win from HJ) and same with CO plus sb and bb so 74k total, so you need to invest 28k to win 98k so you need 28.5% equity for it to be a call.
Given ranges I gave you have 27% so its a Fold, but as I said the ranges are perhaps a little wide.
Just noticed u had 7bbs behind my bad, original stats I came up with, said it was call thinking you had 6bbs behind, still its closer than I thoughtLast edited by Guest; 29-03-13, 20:46.

Just on that 55 hand from Fitz EOM.
I shipped HJ with JJ, CO called with 99 and BB called with the 55.
Was just curious as BB is good player with some big results and as hands were turned over he was discussing the call with the SB (another good player, 'firm' member) and they were both leaning to a correct call (whether SB was being truthful idk) despite me thinking it was a fold.

8bbs from HJ should be a lot wider than that. I would be more like 22+, Ax, K4s, K6o+ Q7s+,Q9o+, J8s+,J9o+, T8s+, 98s, 87s
Maybe even a bit wider depending on rest of the people behind etc.
Calling from CO something like 55+,A8s+,KJs+,KQo, A9o+,
Seems to have slightly over 30% 3 ways. So would be a good call.

Anyone fold here? The guy is a decent reg, shoving 29 bigs. Don't think there's any bluffs here, and i think he just raises normal with any legit opening hands. He's only stealing 17% of hands (30% from btn) from a ~700 hand sample. I'd maybe weight his hands towards 99-QQ, AQ+ figuring he'll raise to induce with KK/AA
I could be wrong with the ranges, but against 99-QQ, AQ+ we're 57%
It's a €30fo and i'm 1/12 with 10 paid. Is it a fistpump snap because we think we're ahead of his range, or do we preserve our stack? Winning here will put us in a good position to win the tournament, but losing puts us back in the middle of the pack

Quite similar to what a few of us were talking about in the April thread today in terms of using your stack etc.

Don't think preserving a stack is ever a reason to fold.

Just on the bolded bit. I'm in total agreement with that tbh. I'm not comparing it to 'wait for a better spot' but if you're able to abuse the bubble and pick up lots of chips without any risk of busting yourself, i don't mind turning down a big potential flip where you can yourself a lot of damage (I don't mean this spot btw)
Now to read the April thread in more detail! I called in the hand btw and he had AK. I didn't snap, so just wondering should it have been.

But you can still say that if you think you can crush the bubble with your current stack just imagine what you do on the bubble when you win. And have 2x everybody else.
I think you have his shoving range too tight must be a lot of mid pairs if he's shoving AK. like 66-JJ maybe. Doubt he shoves QQ. Generally QQ seems grouped with AA KK as a premium moreso than mid pairs.

Bit of a reverse hand here. I remember asking everybody for opinions of it when I was drunk but I forget most of the answers so going to post it here.
Just wondering what people would call with in the other persons position.
900 side event 15k ss 1hr clock 200/400 no ante
Bad lag raises 400 EP. Playing around 8k
An English guy who I'm pretty sure is a live pro who has been really lag and played quite well most of the time. Did spew pretty hard with terrible sizing repping nothing at 1 point though. Calls btn playing around 14k.
1 more caller from SB I think was another bad lag.
I overcall BB with 77. Playing 50+k . I had been generally really lag and agressive also. Bluffed off 1/4 my stack 1st hand of the tournament. Then hero'd villan 2 above in a massive pot in level 1 also. Since then not been to many showdowns despite playing a lot of pots and have had it when I went to showdown.
Flop J:c Jx Tx
Checks through.
Turn is 4:c
I lead 800. Original raiser calls and villan 2 calls.
River is Q:c
I check. Original raiser checks. Villan 2 bets 2250
I tank for just over a minute and make it 7600.
What do you call/shove with here? Would your calling range change if i had just shoved instead?Last edited by GaryT; 03-04-13, 13:16.

I'm setting up a poker crossword and am blanking on ideas and questions.
Assuming its geared at infrequent online poker players has anyone any ideas.
So far I have:
Answer / Clue
--------------------
Flushdraw / You have nine outs on the flop.
Squeeze / The act of re-raising an initial raise and a call.
OMGClayAiken / Phil Galfond's famous online poker alias.
Doyle Brunson / The hand 10,2o is famed because of this man.
Ante / Mandatory bet usually introduced in later stages of a tournament.

If you c/r the flop, it's 14k back on him to win 30k so he'll be getting the right price a lot of the time

I think the BB Is More likely to flat than 3bet pre because he would be getting 4:1 roughly and we dont really want that imo.“The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent.”

Strange pre flop cash spot in 1 2 game. Im playing 350 odd villain cover comfortably.
Villain in this is an English mixed game reg. was playing 5 10 etc and also talking to his mate about leaving to go play Chinese while complaining about how boring holdem is. This was the only game running at the time.
I've been playing with him for around 90mins. He has been really really laggy. Straddling every chance he gets. Also just randomly raised huge blind a few times.
Would view me as quite tight I'd say. I bought in for max and just gradually dwindled down to current stack not playing many hands or winning the hands I do play.
He's done some other weird things like 2orbits before this had he min raised then snap jammed for almost 400 effective over my btn 3bet. I accidentally showed a 2 while folding.
Short stack shoves blind utg for 24. He's definitely blind. I'm mp2 and raise 50. Folds to villain in bb who shoves.
What range do to you call here? I don't call anything here as there's a few bad guys behind that love to peel every race pre.
Just curious what people would call here with?

A lot of hands people isolate here with don't make much money against a random hand, so if you are planning on folding to a raise from someone behind you you are just lighting money on fire with this plan.
In this situation with basically the entire table behind you I would need a very strong hand to call/raise, and there is no way I'm folding it to the player you described.
