Pop quiz: UTG shoves blind, you call with... ??

igetjokes · #1 03-26-2007, 12:09 PM

A drunk player at a 200NL game takes a beat, and announces he is going all in blind next hand. He shoves his $100 stack forward before the cards are even dealt.

You are on the button. You have a full ($200) stack. It's folded to you. What is the weakest hand you would call with here? Lets assume both blinds are playing very tight and will fold.

(For those that don't play live much, as a predominantly live player I get put in positions like this more often than you may believe.)

i'd only gamble with any pair 7's+, or J10+

Any pair, Q5!!!

Matt Williams · #5 03-26-2007, 09:04 PM

Any pair, any 2 cards over 9, and any connecting cards low as 7-8.

Of course, I say this now sitting behind a computer. In reality, probably just any pair or 2 cards over 10.

Any pair, suited connecters 56+, J8+, Q10+, any K, any A

Calling with 22 and Q5 seem like they are wrong, but I dunno. I'm also assuming AQ+, 99+ call in the blinds, don't know if that is a reasonable range.

Call with any hand you would steal blinds with including pairs.

No fold equity in an 50BB all-in call. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
