$40 MTT, weird preflop SB all-in, Hero has AKs in BB
No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is $200 (9 handed)
Entrants: 87 players, Starting chips: $1500, Total chips: $130500 Buy-in is actualy 40 pounds, that is rougly $40. Average chips: $3183, Ranking: 20th out of 41 remaining players, 10 paid. I'm playing tight, just three rounds on this particular table. I did not showdown til now. Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $1532.50 UTG+1: $6487.50 MP1: $2960 MP2: $5850 MP3: $1695 CO: $2800 Button: $1680 SB: $2770 Hero: $2905 Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 folds, Button calls, SB calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $800</font>, Button calls, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises all-in $2770</font> What do you think about 1: Button's play? 2: SB's play? 3: Hero's best answer? |

I have to assume they're both morons with mid pps.
Easy push, and if they have AA/KK, owell... |

I would never just limp as button here. I think runout_mick's read is probably right, and anything but a push is out of the question. Don't you just hate it if donktards are rewarded for misplaying AA/KK horribly?
Anywho, 40 pounds ~= 70 dollars, assuming you're talking British pounds... |

Re: $40 MTT, weird preflop SB all-in, Hero has AKs in BB
i'm not really crazy about either of their plays-- limping in will alert a good player that something's up and you probably won't get much action unless you're outflopped-- any big action you get you probably would have gotten anyway.
this is a definite call for hero, because i've seen enough bad people make this sort of play with random junk-- i was killing time with a $55 tonight and someone limp/called off 5BBs on the button with Q7s. |

Re: $40 MTT, weird preflop SB all-in, Hero has AKs in BB
(I misstyped the buyin: 20 pounds so around $40).
I decide to push. <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in $2905</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Button calls all-in $880</font>. Uncalled bets: $135 returned to Hero. SB was holding 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Button was holding A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I believe that the Button play is horrible. About the SB, it comes to my mind that it would be a viable strategy, if only he could be sure that the BB would raise. Actualy, with several late limpers, it is a standard play to raise with any two cards on BB in order to collect the blinds and callers' bets. So the question becomes: is it an advanced play with AA to limp behind late limpers, in the hope that a late player would raise, and to reraise him ? Chances sound a bit remote to me.. |
