TT Shorthanded

Perfection · #1 01-27-2007, 01:07 PM

I think Ive been over valuing 99-JJ shorthanded recently. Both Villains havent done anything out of the ordinary but seem to be average $5 - $10 players so weak overall. In Hand 1 is a push correct or does villain just do this min raise with KK+? In Hand 2 should I call or raise?

First hand: I raise to 250 and I fold to the reraise without reads.

Second hand: shove flop

TT 5 handed w/a 3 bet from the BB.
Call - conservative,
4 bet - aggro,
push - max aggro. Your most likely up against 2 overcards, so this would be my choice.

2nd hand looks std.... just watch for the slowplaying of a set or larger overpair.

Hand #1 to be honest I think I just shove PF.

Hand #2 I'd just call PF. But others may have different opinions on that. As played, I'd shove flop.
