I hate calling OOP, but I hate everything thing else even more.

chh · #3 08-08-2007, 01:56 PM

yeah, call.

in the future raise more than 3 bb, you're giving way too good odds to an IP villain

Have u tried to steal his blind in the past? Did he play back/protect? Have you folded your SB to him?

I think I push.

I agree that this play would heavily depend on previous blind battles. Any info on those?

Wow I hate this situation so much.

chh- I think opening for 3x is pretty standard?

I think the minraise is VERY VERY scary here. He wants a call or a push.

Call, hope for a flop without a K or Q in it so you don't have to stack off and can fold.

This spot really sucks. We definitely need some kind of read here or experience with previous blind battles with this guy. Without that I agree with the above and make a crying call and run without a gorgeous flop.

Sherman · #8 08-08-2007, 03:33 PM

Reads or recent history w/villain plz.

Does it really matter what you do? I guess calling is bad. Shoving and folding both seem reasonable though.

Yeah, min-raises are always AA.

J/K. I don't think this is bad at all readless. Unlucky.
