(55s) - The Picture Says It All

Villain is pretty tight, I kid you not they have both been microstacks for like 10 minutes now.

-how do you like my play (it's sorta asking SB to push, I know)
-what do you call with in villain's spot?

This is where you and the other big stack have $$ to gain by eliminating the small stacks without any weird overpushing or other various shenanigoats. Your play is fine enough.

Villain. Turlock? Cards. Fly? Some cards.

In villains spot I call with any top 50% hand, maybe even 40%. He and the other smallstack will both be allin with random hands in the next round. If he win this he gets 1800 chips and thereby also gets a small shot at the 2.

Interesting situation. If not for the bubble, he should off course had called with 72.

The villian should fold almost everything IMO.

I'm basically never calling in his spot. If he folds, he will hopefully be able to play an all-in pot with a 75% chance of making the money.

So his equity if he folds (best case scenario) is 15%. If he calls and wins now, his equity is only slightly greater then 20%. So it would take a big pair for him to call in this spot. Obviously his equity could be as low as 10% depending on what goes down in the next hand (if both the big stacks fold and he has to play HU). So I guess I'd fold with everything but KK and AA (maybe QQ).

A bit of topic: Party does not look like that on my computer. Is this the old beta or something?

Also please note that if both the CO and button fold, even if we lose the battle, hes still forced allin on the SB....its a nice added bonus. Thus your EV is much higher than you stated in that rarish scenario.

I guess i also could add something to the subject, bb should fold if i he understands the situation, but often you find players that won´t. Also, as stated, if i was in sb I would consider pushing quite a wide range here. Thats not terrible for you though, since you just fold and probably place at least second anyway.

I fold 100% if I'm villain, for the simple fact that I have more chips than the other shorty for the next hand. Your play is fine as long as big stack isn't smart enough to push over you. I would personally fold here w/ your stack.
