I can't stand this stupidity.

What level buy in is this because I think it matters.

MP1 limped after a limper so he does not have AA/KK unless he is very sophisticated. Unless David Sklansky Jr. is sitting in MP3's shoes he does not have AA. No one is limping with KK after 2 limpers. I think both MP1 and MP2 have small pocket pairs. Probably something like 6's and 7's. I guarantee you are not dominated in this spot, but I am almost certain one of these guys has a pocket pair. I am pushing in here and hoping to triple up knowing I am not even close to dominated.

Edited to add the buy-in.

[potamophobia]

Given the buy in I am pushing here every time. Wouldnt be surprised to see Ax or TJs.

[4CardStraight]

buyin matters.

20$ and less and this is an instacall. Over that and I might muck if these players are both supposedly good

AQo and AJo are in their ranges for gods sake in a cheap buyin.

Besides you have AKs first level, MULTIWAYSALLYOUCANEATBABY, and LOL donkaments if you lose

[ItalianFX]

I called because I highly doubt that he's holding AA or KK. I also called because my hand was suited.

MP1 turned over 88 and MP3 turned over A6o. I failed to catch anything and I was out.

[4CardStraight]

so knowing their hands, heres ranges even tighter than as bad as these guys were:

Hand 0: 46.003% 40.82% 05.19% 80 10.17 { AKs }
Hand 1: 26.616% 23.47% 03.15% 46 6.17 { 77+, A9s+, KTs+, QTs+, ATo+, KQo }
Hand 2: 27.381% 23.47% 03.91% 46 7.67 { 77+, A9s+, KTs+, QTs+, ATo+, KQo }


You have huge overlay here making this call in this spot, too bad it didnt turn out

[ItalianFX]

Thanks 4Card, that makes me feel better. It seems to be the case that that I'm normally the favorite, but never hold up. A hand as bad as T4 could call me and catch a 4. That's how unlucky I am - most of the time.

[woohoo88]

ya, easy call at this buyin. Don't be results oriented as you can see most of the time you won't win the hand. It's still easily +ev. Just fire up a new one and continue to make good plays. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
