standard... sorry you lost

Re: $11 45 on Stars - 88 UTG seven handed
 

what's your image like. what does hero think of you and what do you think of hero.

Without any reads, it's close but I think I play it the same way you did.

Re: $11 45 on Stars - 88 UTG seven handed
 

Reads are very important here as well as your table image.
If you have a tight image and wasn't caught cbetting a lot, I would say you are up against 66 maaaybe 55, but mostly 99-JJ (QQ now and then).

This looks fine/std. I think that a lot of players will play 55;66;56s the same way enough times to make this call EV+...

Re: $11 45 on Stars - 88 UTG seven handed
 

erc, using ur range we get:

Board: 4h 4s 7c
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 41.179% 41.18% 00.00% 16307 0.00 { 8d8s }
Hand 1: 58.821% 58.82% 00.00% 23293 0.00 { QQ-99, 66-55, 65s }

Your getting 2.65 to 1 on a call here, so this is indeed +EV, but I think this is almost never 56s due to PF. Without it we are getting 37% equity, which can reach 40-42% if give QQ less freq.

So, overall, this is still +EV.

Nice hand.

Agree on discounting 56s...and thx for stoving it (lazy here) [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

My image was loose as the bubble just burst and I had been exploiting it mercilessly. I think I c-bet every time I open raised from the start of the tourney.

This is pretty important info... but i guess if u included it in OP, there wouldn't be much to discuss...(easy call)

Re: $11 45 on Stars - 88 UTG seven handed
 

Then this makes it an easier call, as villain could be shoving here with a much wider range like 67,78 and even A7s.
