200 nl: Am I crazy?
Poker Stars, $1/$2 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 9 Players
LeggoPoker Hand History Converter UTG+2: $109 MP1: $266.05 MP2: $226.40 CO: $408.85 BTN: $197 SB: $274.45 BB: $624.20 UTG: $200 Hero (UTG+1): $264 Pre-Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (UTG+1) <font color="red">UTG raises to $8</font>, Hero folds Am I totally nuts? Does anybody else fold AK in this situation? I know a lot of guys probably would 3bet. But any thinking player would know my 3betting range is precisely QQ+ and AK. How can 3betting possibly be good when my range is so narrow and my opponents are aware of that? Calling isn't a good option either, so I routinely fold AK here. Should I be admitted to the insane asylum? |

Re: 200 nl: Am I crazy?
how is your 3betting range QQ+ and AK if you routinely fold AK facing a preflop raise?
don't you realize how impossible it is to answer your question without stats on UTG? |

You are not posting your question in a coherent fashion, if that's what you mean.

[ QUOTE ] don't you realize how impossible it is to answer your question without stats on UTG? [/ QUOTE ] I was thinking more about the 7 players left to act behind me. I have a nitty image. For the sake of argument let's say I 3bet the UTG with AK. Even though AK beats UTG's range won't it only get action from the 7 remaining players when it's crushed by AA and KK? That's why AK is not in my UTG+1 3bet range and I just fold. [ QUOTE ] maybe RR some hands besides QQ+ AK [/ QUOTE ] Do you honestly have a wider 3betting range than this if UTG has a standard range of AA-JJ, AK, and there are still 7 players left to act? When UTG is a tight player doesn't my range have to be this narrow? |

Re: 200 nl: Am I crazy?
Most UTG raisers ranges at NL200 except for the Ultra nitty, have ranges wider then AA-QQ, AK. A lot of TAGs at these levels raise any pair UTG, hands like KQs, AQo, etc.
Now do you see why you need to 3bet a wider range yourself? |
