Should survival be key here?
My opponent in this hand is the big stack at the table, and has up to this point been calling raises as well as limping in, in the hopes of being able to use his stack to push others off their hands, which he has had some success with. A number of times he has raised his opponent on the flop or turn it has appeared to me as if he was bluffing. How would you act here?

1) TPGK is nothing to be excited about when you are 30+ BB's deep. A bet and a raise and 1 more person still left to act after me - I let it go.
2) Tags - in the converter you need to set the output format to "2+2" - it's NOT the default. Tags will go away once you do that. 3) Welcome to the forum. |

Hi,
Thanks for replies, I have just noticed the 2+2 format on the converter, better not change it now but will know for next time. This hand unfolded quite interestingly in the end. |

I let this go. Surely whatever UTG is limping pre-flop has you beat often enough that it's marginal whatever the big stack does.
Anybody else lead the flop? |

On top of that you are OOP, are going to have to deal with two more betting rounds, and you aren't closing the action if you call. It could get VERY expensive to find out if your marginal hand is good. And when it IS good (say you are up against a weaker TP and a flush draw) you are either going to have to overplay your hand, which won't get you any value, or risked getting pushed of your hand on later streets with a bluff. |
