NL100 - QTo LP
 

New to NL, no read on villain.

Is this a fold PF in NL? The table wasn't playing too loose so I figured I had a pretty good shot of picking up the blinds/ getting it HU IP.

Comments on all streets appreciated. Thanks guys.

more on turn, like 15 maybe. rest is fine.

It's fine all the way through, but I'm not sure an A calls a push. I'd need a good read that Villain is loose enough to call; a halfway decent player knows he's calling to chop here.

Zeebo theorem applies often enough, but I'll go against the grain and say that I prefer 3/4 PSB as opposed to the push.

Re: NL100 - QTo LP
 

Looks fine. River is tough. Zeebo theorem demands a push, but I'm in agreement with ep that a smaller bet make make more sense with the ace on the board.

I searched for the definition of this but only found examples and a general idea.

Do you have a linky handy by chance?

I think Zeebo theorem basically states that no one folds a boat. Therefore, if you think your opponent has a boat and you beat it then push.

The raise PF is goot. I'd bet just $40 on the river. Hopefully it worked out for ya though.

OP,

There is not likley to be a single one of the regs in this forum who would call your shove with an A. That's why I think the shove is read-dependent and a value-packed 3/4 pot is best.

The Zeebo Theorem is a good one, but obviously hyperbolizes and doesn't work here.

Re: NL100 - QTo LP
 

Haupt,

I suck at search, but Zeebo did a post a while back commenting on how nobody ever folds a boat, regardless of the board, action, etc.

His theory is that if you beat most of villain's potential boats, then you should just push, because you will get called a redonkulously high % of the time.

epdaws and I hesitate here because a lone A gives everyone the not so well disguised 3rd nuts.

Really? I don't think anyone folds an Ace here. I think there are some regs who are capable of realising this is a split/Q but 80% of them at least are calling with an A here.

No WAY do 80% of the regular posters in this forum call that river shove with an A. I just refuse to believe that, bilbo. It's a very bad call to make.
