Preflop decision vs Sirio11
Pretty sure this is standard, but I wanted to double check. Midwayish through the stuper, both of us have been playing relatively snug, and Sirio has been talking a lot of [censored]. He even made fun of my cat.

Re: Preflop decision vs Sirio11
Call for set value and because we have position?
I don't know, I'm tired and jealous of gobbo. edit: whoops, didn't realize the effective stack here was 10xBB. Let me re-evaluate. edit: I made up my mind. I fold because it's sirio. And he might spite call you with J9o because he doesn't like your cat. Anyway, this was far from standard for me. |

I fold here and don't think it's particularly close.

Re: Preflop decision vs Sirio11
I was thinking 99 might be my bare minimum push hand, but now I'm leaning towards TT. Would sirio raise with A9s here? That affects me decision big time.

Re: Preflop decision vs Sirio11
I think 88's a fold.
As for 99, I think that depends on how weird this raise is. Have you seen sirio play a 10.5 BB stack before, and does he usually push from EP or make a standard raise? If he usually pushes, fold 99; if not, push 99. |

Re: Preflop decision vs Sirio11
I think you're looking at serious strength from Sirio here guys. 88's definitely a fold. In fact, I think most hands are a fold. Someone mentioned A9 - can you really see Sirio open raising with 10.5xBB from UTG+1 for 3Xbb? I think not.

Re: Preflop decision vs Sirio11
I agree with ucla and I would think it was a clear fold in this spot, but he made fun of your cat. You can't let that [censored] go unchallenged. You have to push over the top, for metagame reasons. No one will respect your cat if you don't make them.
