Donkey Test

[Doug Funnie II]

I guess question 3 could also be a call because MPs range for opening then folding is probably AJo, AJs, AQo, AQs 77-JJ so a couple bad cards could be dead.

I chose call.

PS, I took this test a while ago, and I remember making a bunch of calls like these based on PStove analysis.

I said call because it looks a lot like the short stack is making a squeeze play, so his range is probably a lot wider than the AK/AQ and JJ-AA that I've "seen" so far. So, the analysis that shows it's a close call if he does have AK/AQ and JJ-AA + the fact that he is in premium position to make a squeeze play with something like 87s, I call.

I took the test and got 120. It was actually pretty interesting.

Anybody actually pay the ten bucks for the full profile?

I'm tempted to buy it, but I really don't like giving my credit card info to some poker IQ web site I found in the 2+2 beginner's forum.

Thanks.

Answer and post thoughts to question 4 please.

[mikever]

I don't think you'd have any security problems if you bought it. I think the site is affiliated with Cardrunners.com, and they are above board.

[mikever]

So I guess what we can say about Question 3 at this point is that it's a close decision, but maybe leaning toward a call?

When I am at the table and don't have pokerstove available, what thought process should I follow to make this decision?

I probably play too tight, but my thought is that this is so close that I'd rather wait and get my money in better than this.

Q4. Push. You have a very low M. You probably have the best hand or two over cards if somebody limped with a small pair 77-22. There is a ton of chips in the pot relative to your stack. Your stack is big enough to give you some fold equity. Unless one of the villains limped in with something like KQs and has a deep stack and wants to try and take you out, you probably won't get called as long as UTG doesn't wake up with a limp/reraise with a monster (which is unlikely given the read in the question).

Q4. Call. You are getting great immediate odds. Your stack is too small relative to the size of the pot for you to have any significant fold equity given three limpers. Ace eight is not that good when three players have limped. You can get your money in if you hit this flop, otherwise you have the button next hand.

Calling with this trashy hand is very bad. I think this is definately a push/fold situation.
