AQ facing resqueeze

Irishman07 · #1 07-09-2007, 03:38 AM

Button is fairly new to the table... 30/15/2 over only 35 hands or so. No reads and I have no history with him. CO is 15/10/5 over 100 hands. Easy fold?

He has shoved against one other played who made 3bet and one other player who called 3bet. I just don't know about this hand. The fact that he CC instead of raising MP is suspicious because he could not have been thinking the blinds were going to repop to open up the betting again.

Therefore, I am leaning towards a call due to strangeness of his play. He may think he can get the $61 in pot by making a $63 4bet. But the original limp makes me think he is trying to steal. Maybe I am over thinking the situation...the limp by button and then 4betting makes no sense.

cheers
Boon

I feel like you're at a flip at best.

Are you familliar with pot odds?

Trivially easy call.

Super easy call for 35BB.

Edit: Oh MP is still there. Probably shove then.

Seems kind of a weird line to take with a small or medium pocket pair. With the being said maybe he wanted to play HU with the MP with a larger PP and just smooth called it to be sneaky? Maybe AK? He might or might not reraise the PF I guess given his stats. Hard to say without any real reads on him. If he has AK maybe he thinks that you might have it too and he could push to shove you off or he is racing and he is going for the dead money. Huh. Dunno. Ya I think I fold this here till I have a better read on the guy. I think at best we would be racing like 88+ and would be way behind to AK and QQ+.

Edit - Didnt read the pot odds. Seems pretty easy call even if at best you are racing.

INSTA SHOVE!
he has 99

I misread the hand and didn't see MP called the initial reraise. Hmmm this is a tough spot now, I'd shove if I believe MP's calling range to be very tight (say QQ+ or maybe even tighter), otherwise I'd probably call I guess.

Smells like medium pp to me... I am going to guess....... 88 wow im good i bet he had 88 exactly.. push all in and get lucky.
