60 paid, 100ish left, avg stack 20k

I've a tight image, stolen pots with thrash but have had the goods in showdowns.

the villain in this hand has raised a couple of hands recently, just took down the last hand with a c-bet, so I think it's time to 3bet him, is this awful to do oop?

hohum, what should I do on the flop?

(small stack is explained by losing a 11k race with a shortie)

lol. Weren't happy with the responses you received elsewhere eh??

Again: Shove 1 and inflate the pot in hand two.

Hand 1, i think your reraise pre is to big. Go to like 3000-3500. On this flop you really only have one choice, shove. You can't really check shove because he'll take a free card way to often, and part of his range here is AQ/AK.

Hand 2, no, don't check bethind, bet strong.

so everyone thinks it's a defo bet in the 2nd hand?

and hand 1 is fine?

Ansky · #6 03-09-2007, 06:58 PM

these arent deep at all.

shove flop hand 1.

bet turn hand 2.

1 is debatable... check/calling a flop shove/ check/shoving the flop is an option.

hand 2 isnt close at all.

Deep? Deep? Deep??????

I assume this is from a low buyin deep stack tournament.

Hand 1. I excercize pot control by folding preflop.

Hand 2. With 2 limpers this deep at this buyin, I would probably raise to 180. I think the raise to 120 is pretty bad, particularly with AQo rather than 99 or something. I also don't mind just limping behind preflop, as AQo doesn't play well with very deep money.

On the turn, the pot is multiway, and it is an action board, so kind of a tricky situation with top 2 pair. However, a lot of sets would have raised preflop. You also may get action from lower 2-pairs or combination draws.

checking on hand 2 is criminal.

o and shove hand 1.
