$2000NL - BvB Battle
This hand takes place in the $2000NLHE event for the WSOP that started yesterday.
The blinds are 300/600/75. First hand after dinner break. I have just over 13k, the SB in this hand has me covered. Since I am new to the table I don't have many reads on anyone aside from the standard young guy = internet, old guy = nit, middle aged guy = somewhere in between. SB is probably late 20s, doesn't look like he plays too much online but is probably a possibility that he plays a little bit. He's one of the guys with an iPod with HUGE headphones instead of just using the standard iPod headphones, I don't know if that means anything. In my head I figure this type of player is capable of stealing with a wide range of hands here. I hold A2o in the BB. Folds to SB. He raises to 1800. 3000ish in pot including his raise and my BB. What's my pushing range here? |

If we call, what the hell are we doing on any non-Ace flop? (happens most of the time). Either shove or fold.
We're really not significantly ahead of his range, though. If he's doing something standard like AA-22, Ax, any broadway, any suited 1 gapper, any unsuited connector, are we thrilled here? I just don't like going to war with 1 card here. |

Re: $2000NL - BvB Battle
yea i guess shove is fine here as long as he will fold most Ax hands and most low pairs

Re: $2000NL - BvB Battle
calling and shoving over his c-bet is def a move not used enough. Even though A2o sucks you still have great FE vs him postflop.

We don't want to race against anything unless it includes a duece, as winning the money in the pot is probably worth more than racing against nearly any 2 cards that don't include a deuce. If your idea is that raising to 6k will actually have more FE than simply moving allin, I guess I don't buy it. |
