Hand against BCM11 NLTRN

Jiganti · #1 08-01-2007, 03:49 AM

Third hand in, first two were folds. This is one of my first HU SnG's on Stars as I have recently moved from FTP 400nl cash. I know BCM11 is a winning player, so I came into the match respecting his play. I would like his comment on the hand.

Gotcha. Thanks.

The closest decision here Jiganti IMO is whether to 4-bet preflop or not, Ive been told BCM 3-bets a wide range preflop but I dont know what kind of hands or what his call/push range would be after you 4-bet (whether or not he gets his stack in with AJ here is pretty key IMO altho a 4-bet will always be profitable here) I think calling is reasonable but you are going to have to plan on semi-bluff raising a lot of flops regardless of what hits or else you fall right into his strategy of 3-betting very lightly.

I'd play it the exact same.

Yea once you see the flop the hand plays itself.

Before results, what's he got? Why does he need to get all his chips in asap?

Translation:
What does this forum thinks he holds here? I want to display the results of the hand soon. Why is he betting this hand so hard on all streets? To protect? To bluff? Value?

It's a very aggressive play. All I'm saying.
