Tough Decision

David Sklansky · #1 05-19-2006, 02:16 AM

Mirage No Limit $2000 Buy In. Everybody starts with $4000 in chips. Third level. $100, $200 blinds. No ante. Average stack has moved up to about $6500.

You start the hand with $2500 in chips, now down to $2300 because it is your big blind. All fold to a good player on the button who makes it $600. Small blind folds and you look down to see Ace seven suited. What's your play?

David,

What are people's thoughts on a stop and go if villian has around t4000-t6000? You would be pushing t1900 into a t1300 pot and you could be maximizes FE like this no?

F-it, here goes:

Call Flop

Bet/Fold Any A/K high flop

C/F Flops like JQK or one toned (not your draw)

C/R any other flop

Lead/3-bet Any Ax7x flop, Flush Draw, or trip 7's

edit: pushing flop not an option b/c its boring and I'm an STTFer trying to learn to actually play poker.

This is important but for my response i will just assume he has an avergae stack (6500). I think i like calling here and pushing almost all boards.

Ummm... so play it as if you didn't have just 12xbb left?

calling is horrible IMO, unless we are doing a stop-n-go
