am i missing something?
51 players left out of 1184
Poker Stars, $2 + $0.20 NL Hold'em Tournament, 800/1,600 Blinds, 7 Players LegoPoker Hand History Converter SB: 24,643 Hero (BB): 8,548 UTG: 40,077 UTG+1: 31,205 MP: 95,451 CO: 20,891 BTN: 52,261 Pre-Flop: (3,600) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BB) 5 folds, BTN calls 1,600, SB calls 800, Hero checks Flop: (6,000) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 Players - 1 is All-In) SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets 6,798 and is All-In</font>, BTN folds, SB calls 6,798 Turn: (19,596) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players - 2 are All-In) River: (19,596) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players - 2 are All-In) Results: 19,596 Pot SB showed 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (two pair, Kings and Jacks) and WON 19,596 (+11,048 NET) Hero showed 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (a pair of Jacks) and LOST (-8,548 NET) I am clueless how SB calls w/ K high no draw for 1/3 of his stack when he's this short. Do I just give up this hand? I feel like when I move in it's hard for either player to call unless they've connected, so I took my chances. Neither player connected but I guess he felt lucky (?) or was threatened by my avatar |

Re: am i missing something?
I've seen this sort of call before and it beats me too. I have a theory though. The caller recognises that it's a dry flop, and puts you on a bluff. To make it, you could have just about anything. So he figures, well, [censored] it, it's like a preflop shove by a random hand, I can call that.
And it was sooooted. |

Re: am i missing something?
Don't random bluff and then complain. Obviously I don't call k8d there, but it's a 2.20, hes got 3 diamonds, he tells himself this guys full of it I'm not backing down. He then says all people who fold are chickens. He then calls, fist pumps, brags to his friends, plays a $50 MTT, loses it all, and cries.
That said, I don't really like the bluff. Pushing preflop is fine though, you are definitely in fine shape agaisnt button and SBs ranges, and have enough (although not a lot with button on that stack) FE. |

Re: am i missing something?
I agree with pushing PF, this is kinda like a sng, except you weren't first to act and there's 2 people, which I don't really like because you're just getting called too much. However, aside from shoving PF, I like this play better than anything else you could do. I mean, you have 4 BBs left in your stack and should have (lol but you didn't) some decent FE on this shove.

I was also looking to see if I missed something, as well as some advice as to how else I could have played it. imo it had similar dynamics to a stop n go, except I didn't call a PF raise. I was just going to give up on the hand until the SB checked. I realized I still had enough chips left to shove and have some major FE. It would be difficult for the button to call without a jack, especially with the SB still to act, and it would be difficult for the SB to call without hitting a piece of the board, especially given that he's crippled if he has a worse hand or gets drawn out on. I hope k8 sooted got his aces cracked by a guy who went all in blind on the bubble of his $50 MTT and went on life tilt [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |
