QQ 2nd day of 1500 nl...

JP OSU · #1 06-17-2007, 10:10 PM

It's the second day of event 3 and we have like 90 or so players left, the average stack is around 100k...

The villain in this hand is Eric Baldwin, aka basebaldy... we played a hand a couple hours earlier where I 4 bet shoved with T9o and showed him (dumb i know)... We are by far the most aggressive and best players at the table... beginning the hand I have ~200k and he has ~175k... Blinds are 2k-4k w/ 500 ante

I open in mp to 14k w/ Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and he smooth calls on the button... Flop is 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]... I lead 21k and he raises to 71k... I????

seems like an easy shove based on your description

So are you guys shoving A9?? A8??

THEOSU · #6 06-18-2007, 02:10 AM

i sure am not folding an overpair 40BB deep when i have an image of an aggressive player capable of running a big bluff...

edit: i'm not sure what you're questioning here. i mean, if you want to call and get it in on any turn, i guess that's fine, too. but i just prefer shoving in this spot because there are enough cards that come on the turn that could cause him to stop.

This is pretty read dependent. But I have to agree with djk123, given your image I think you have to shove. I guess you could read him for a set or two pair and fold.

results please

The way you described your history with this player and his and your image the only answer is shove, sorry you were beat.

I actually folded... The worst hand I could see him showing up with here is some sort of big draw... I really don't see him raising that much with air... I think he could easily show up with AA,KK,99,88,44... i just don't see him getting too frisky with a big stack here... I think if he had air, a float would be a far better move risking so many less chips...

Wow do not fold. There are not that many reasons other than you are 40bb's deep, you have an aggressive image, and this player is capable of making a move. If you are beat, you are beat. You have a long way to go until you make any real money and it's not time to conserve that stack.
