Reshove the first hand. He is under the gun with just a few big blinds. I'd say 75% of the time you are way ahead here and only have to worry about someone behind you waking up with something, but you have 10bb so this is an obvious shove.

I think the second hand is a fold. What made you fold AJ but reraise him with AT from pretty much the same position?

Did you have any reads on the guy, besides stats?

Looking at the chipstacks villain is in a really bad position, having little or no FE a this blind level. So, how often are his stats skewed with the possibility that he had not been dealt any favorable cards to make a steal or seek a showdown with in the last few orbits ?


Personally, Hand #1 is a shove, and Hand #2 is a fold.

Hand 1: I cant emagine folding. Hes shoving range with just 5BB's is just too big for us to fold.

Hand 2: U have to fold this hand. UTG+1's preflop range has you crushed. If my math is correct villian is getting almost 2:1 on your shove and hes pretty short himself, so u dont have any FE really.

hand 1 : i have 10bb he has 5 im ahead.if he didn't open shove i would have shoved his shove just means more chips to win and i want those chips i need those chips.

hand2: you are making a move and are dominated if CALLED. there are still too many live players behind too. he is showing more strength here raising in ep. than in hand #1 where he is being blinded out soon. i fold.

Ok thanks, thats all I wanted to hear.

I wasn't actually the Hero in the hand, but a friend of mine was. Thats why I didnt have the original HH and had to add the cards in.

He is a member of 2+2 and insited he played both hands correctly and I basically told him that everyone here would shove hand #1 and fold hand #2.
