10k$ EPT Monte Carlo: Hand vs Greg Raymer
Hero is a young, talented online pokerplayer, and has played a lot of sng's and tournaments. He's also played some SnG's with Raymer online, and they've barely met in real life.
Raymer has a reputation for being aggressive, and is sometimes appending a LAG style early in the tournament. Hero has 8k after some unfortunate hands, Raymer has 9k, after he lost 6k with a weird c/r/f on the river in an earlier hand. The table is very hard, with a lot of european proffessionals. Startstack is 15k, blinds are 25/50. Folded to Hero on the button. Hero raises to 150T$ with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Raymer raises to 450T$ from the SB, BB folds. Hero raises to 1500T$. Raymer pushes all in, and hero calls. Discuss |

Don't 4bet. You have position. Once he 5bets you have to instamuck. He doesn't make gigantic moves like this. There's absolutely no reason to.

I should clarify that I didn't play this hand myself. Just found it interesting. Don't want no mixups here...

Re: 10k$ EPT Monte Carlo: Hand vs Greg Raymer
the 4bet is certainly fine but def muck now. If he's making a move, then u gotta just say congrats greg 15k for 1500 is really worth the risk at 25/50.

call the reraise pf and play poker. getting 160 BB in the middle w/AKo pf is awful.

[/ QUOTE ] hero has 8k and raymer has 9k, which is very different than 15k apiece so he's putting in 6500 to win 9500 which i think is enough to make this a call given the other factors (position, Raymer's aggressiveness and the chance he's in a mood to go big or go home). |

Re: 10k$ EPT Monte Carlo: Hand vs Greg Raymer
To me, it depends on how active I've been. If I've been opening a lot in LP or Greg has been reraising me a lot then I 4-bet and call his shove every time. I understand that it's 160 BBs but you have AK in a button vs BB hand against a very aggressive player. If I've been quiet or he's respected my raises then I probably just call the 3-bet. I think prior history is very important in these spots.
