Weird hand from 6k tourney in Sweden
6k tourney in sweden, 100 entrants
Start stacks 20k Blinds 25-50, 1 hour blinds + slow structure Opponent in this hand is Erik Friberg (8th place last years wsop) This is 5th hand in the tourney and Erikīs been raising/playing every hand. Erik 22k Hero 20k Folded to Erik in hijack who minraises for the first time to 100 I think for a while and make it 500 with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] from co. While Iīm stacking up chips for my reraise he tells me to not reraise too much. He instacalls and flop is Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Pot 1075 Erik instabets 1200 What is my line here? Half the deck are scarecards and I know he wonīt hesitate to give me pressure on turn and river whether a scarecard comes on turn or not. In cashgame and tourneys the stacksizes often arenīt deep enough that people bet out to the raiser in reraised pots without committing themselves so this was a new situation for me. I know or at least I think heīs really loose, what handrange can I put him on here? |

Re: Weird hand from 6k tourney in Sweden
Raise flop to 3500.
I realize you're up against an aggressive player, but I think raising is clearly better than calling. We have room in our stacks for this... you need to define your hand and raise for information (and probably value). Our re-raise preflop helps our fold equity. If he flat-calls, we still have position on him for later streets. This is a situation where we need to wield position. I'm throwing up in my mouth if he 3-bets a flop raise, because that means he wants to play for stacks/put a move on us. However, he'd have to be REAL strong to be able to do that considering the aggression we've shown. |

If Friberg has been raising every hand, it seems reasonable to reraise. AQo is not a really good hand with 400xBB, as the flop situation indicates. I would just call the flop and generally call him down all the way if he keeps betting. |

If it's unfavorable, I've yet to see any reasons at all that calling is better than raising. I still think raising the flop is better than calling the flop AINEC. |

Re: Weird hand from 6k tourney in Sweden
raising is obviously stupid since we don't have enough of a read to be getting TPTK in for 400bb, so call.
pf is fine |

Re: Weird hand from 6k tourney in Sweden
I would have made it 400 preflop, but 500 is fine and not a big deal
Raising the flop sucks pretty hard Call, next street?? |

[/ QUOTE ] Why would you want to define your hand? What range do you think that friberg will put the hero on after a pf reraise and a flop raise? What range do you think friberg will continue with if the hero raises the flop? You are right by raising the flop we define our hand as AQ+ weighted more heavily toward AA/KK/QQ/JJ/AhKh. Friberg is not an idiot, why do we want him to put us on that range unless we are bluffing to get him off AA/KK (that is assuming that a raise will define our hand like you said) Are you trying to make this hand easier to play or are you trying to get the maximum value? |
