Re: NL 25 - QJ vs loose opponent
I think making your reasoning for a push due to his smaller stack can be a major leak. If hes short but youre well behind more often than not, then you fold. You keep doubling up short stackers and im sure its going to dramatically affect your win rate. Just look at this guy's stats, they dont suggest he does this with a weaker top pair hand.

[/ QUOTE ] why? the size of his stack is the reason why we are getting a little better than 2:1 here. the size of his stack (along with his vpip) is the reason why I think he doesn't just fold to a c-bet with Q9 or even something like 99 or 87 sometimes...and it is also the reason why I think he doesn't just call our bet with those hands even though his AF is so low...

[/ QUOTE ] as I mentioned above, I think his true AF here will be higher than what it shows because of his stack size( that is, he makes this minraise more often than he normally would simply because his stack is so short...IMO a person with a $9 stack does not just call our flop bet with something like Q9 or even something like 87 as much as he might when he had a larger stack..and I can't think of any ways that his AF would be skewed in the other direction because of a short stack. listen, I'm not saying that he doesn't have us beat most of the time, I'm saying that we win often enough to get it in here on a little better than 2:1..and I think we show a profit |

Re: NL 25 - QJ vs loose opponent
I understand what youre getting at, but I dont think we win even 33% of the time here. It would be closer getting 4:1 I guess though.

Cant do that sniii, villain only has 8 bucks so its push or fold time. [/ QUOTE ] Oh, right, my bad.. Well, seeing he's short and his vpip is above 50, I'd end up pushing here. More often than not, this guy has a lower kicker than ours. |

Re: NL 25 - QJ vs loose opponent
Im not sure that more often than not he has a lower kicker. In fact, much more often than not he has us beat. I guess the point prodigy was trying to make was that villain CAN show up with worse though. And the fact that he can show up with worse once in a while affects the equity enough to make pushing a profitable move. Everyone says push, but I dont care about that, I care about why. I think prodigy explained why, check out his other post.

Re: NL 25 - QJ vs loose opponent
I think playing QJo OOP with a shorstack with over 50% VPIP left to act behind me is a major leak
nevertheless we are in the hand and shortstacks play so weird, i have been in a similar situation many times and was shown anything from Q4s to 99, TT also the sample size for his stacks is very small so his AF is nowhere near accurate I just push here |

Whether that is a leak in my play though, I don't know; that's why I am playing uNL (even though ranking up in stakes) |

Re: NL 25 - QJ vs loose opponent
I was given an advice not long ago on this forum:
against shorstacks play hands that have high top pair value and if you hit top pair play for stacks we do not have that good a hand here but we have top pair decent kicker it's a marginal spot though - the difference between folding and pushing is not big IMO so whatever you do it can't be a big mistake |
