JJ v big stacks in $3r

registrar · #1 03-09-2007, 02:59 PM

No particular reads on these players. Button seemed quite loose, hadn't noted anything about OR and neither have been at the table long. We're ITM with something like 280 to go and I have a top 20 stack.

19999 to go

or you can push

I think 19999 is going to get a call out of MP2 and Button (he'd have odds to call with a pretty big range).

I think if I'm taking a shot at this at all, I'm pushing and hoping for a race

Call a push from either but not both?

Assuming we get one caller, isn't this going to suck, playing a big pot OOP?

I think 20k is going to get a fold out of any smaller pair. I could be wrong. I spent a lot of this tourney in a state of shock at what people did with their chips.

There is only going to be a psb left, so position doesn't really matter too much. Just push the flop unless its like AKQ or something really nasty.

hmm im calling a push from one of them, and if the coldcaller is bad maybe from both.

If we get a caller it becomes a go and go. TBH i usually just shove here preflop but was giving you another possible option to go and go.

i think in these tournaments people will call with hands like ATs, 77 etc if you raise to 20k so they can 'hit' a flop. If you push these hands will fold most of the time, but hey its the 3r and people do retarded things so pushing/raising is pretty much equal. I would usually decide based on how donkish they have played up to now

Everyone had been pretty awful but these guys were newish to the table. From a couple of orbits, OR had done little, certainly nothing out of line and cold caller had been loose but decent post-flop. I pushed and wasn't really expecting a call from a wide range. CC tanked and I assumed he had TT so that was kind of my read at the time.
