RTR 10K Freeroll - AK on bubble
Ultimate Bet, $10k RTR Freeroll NL Hold'em Tournament, 150/300 Blinds, 10 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter This is the Rake the Rake $10K Freeroll today UB. There are 57 players left. Top 50 get paid with bottom payout being $40. Payouts go something like... $40 / 50-41 $45 / 40-31 $50 / 30-25 $55 / 24-20 etc.... with 1st being $2500 and 2nd being $1500. Here is what scares me. Villian is a solid 18/18/4 over 272 hand and is UTG+1. I have seen him show down 3 hands and they were all pocket pairs. I was on the phone with a friend at the time and he suggested I just call and see a flop. I really am kinda lost at what to do here. I do not want to throw $40 free dollars away. CO: 6,040 BTN: 2,550 SB: 8,165 BB: 4,880 UTG: 2,350 UTG+1: 7,620 MP: 2,620 MP+1: 2,310 MP+2: 7,605 Hero: 4,595 Pre-Flop: (450) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] dealt to Hero 1 fold, <font color="red">UTG+1 bets 1050</font>, 3 Folds, HERO? |

Re: RTR 10K Freeroll - AK on bubble
i feel like a pot raise preflop is usually weaker than a weak raise from EP but you'll run into all types of people
have they usually been raising the pot pre? i like a shove here though |

Easy shove...
"call and see a flop" is just so wrong. |

Re: RTR 10K Freeroll - AK on bubble
Could someone please explain WHY this is a shove instead of just saying it is a shove.
The amatuer in me says to fold a drawing hand here. 1) Villian has solid stats and has only shown down pocket pairs. Plus his raise is UTG+1. 2) If I do shove, I have no fold equity and villian will call ALWAYS. 3) If 1 and 2 are right, I will lose 56% of the time and be elimated 6 from the cash. 4) If I do spike an A or K and win the hand, it is only worth another $5-10 to me. Why would I risk $40 to gain an extra $5-10. Not saying I am right...I would just like to know why a shove it right here. Thanks. |

Re: RTR 10K Freeroll - AK on bubble
I think the concensus answer you will get on here is... AK is +EV versus his range, this is the bubble so he can be raising a wide range, and we are playing to win.
That said, if cashing is important to you, why even call to see the flop? Just muck and save your chips for when the bubble burst. |
