Default Re: Weird hand from 6k tourney in Sweden

I had exactly the same thoughts as TJ during the hand, I thought Erik could bet into me kinda light there with hands like KQ, T9, KT etc.

Since it´s likely he´s going to put pressure on me if I just call I decided to raise it. I thought for a while and made it 4200.
Erik instapushed back. I think I would have done exactly the same play with QQ/JJ and he knows that. So I think a reasonable handrange for a instapush from him is KTs, T9s, QJ, 44 maybe JJ.
When he pushed I hated my flopraise but afterwards I´m not sure, I think I still would have played it the same way.

So what did he have? Did you double up or bust out?

I guess what I am saying is you are getting 1.6-1 to call the allin. What does he take this line with? I think he has a draw a lot here, and sometimes not a huge draw. He certainly could have 2-pair, but I don't know if a set or overpair is that likely. He could even have a weaker made hand.

I really think you may have odds to call at this point. At least it is close.

When this guy is raising every hand, you have no idea what he has, and you could reraise him with a wide range.

It certainly is easier to play if you make a big reraise and fold to a push, but I don't think this is good play with such a strong hand.

explain 'thought for a while', would you have waited a similar amount of time to raise with QQ/JJ ?

i still think this situation is why reraising preflop is bad against someone like erik, you put around 100 BBs into this pot and still arent sure either way whether you're beat or not on the flop

I'm still thinking about the minraise for the first time. I usually run into AA/KK when that happens.
