2 Quick All-in or fold hands - Nightly $150

DonT77 · #1 12-05-2006, 07:01 PM

Sorry, I don't have the HHs with me...

Hand 1-

Blinds 100/200, Hero is on the button with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and 2800 in chips. Folded to CO with 4000 in chips who raises to 600. Blinds are both on the tight side with ~3000 chips. CO's stats are 20/18, but only attempted steals 3 of 15 times. Villain likely perceives me as TAG. Push or fold?

Hand 2, later on-

Blinds are 150/300/25a. Hero in LP with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and 3800 in chips. 280 players remain, top 150/~1000 pay. Two folds, LAG with 5400 raises to 900, 1 fold, TAG in MP pushes 4000, folded to hero. Push (call AI) or fold?

I fold both, due to reads on both Villains being TAG. In neither situation do you have any FE, obv.

First hand, if he's only stolen 3/15, I don't see what you'll be ahead of.

Second hand, a TAG isn't pushing anything less than AQ, if that. You're no good against his range, which is, let's say 77+ AQ+.

Better to open-push later on in both hands.

Fold in Hand 1.

Hand 2 I like a call. Gamble for a big stack. Either you will go heads up with MP with dead money in the pot, or you end up in a 3-way AI with a suited AK. Neither one of these is that bad. You have a shortish stack. Gamble.

1. push. i disagree with bills i think you have plenty of fold equity
2. call. hopefully you will double up then you can play some poker

Ehhh...I guess he might fold some of the time to that raise. I'm guessing not a lot tho. I'm too lazy to run the numbers.

1 is an easy push, 2 is close but i probably call.

I push hand 1. I would push a lot lighter here, because you probably have some FE.

Hand 2 is a call. I initial raiser may fold giving you good pot odds. You should be atleast equal to the reraiser's range. I also don't mind a 3-way allin.

1st hand- great situation to push.
2nd hand- gotta fold this one with a push from a tight player in front of you.

i tend to not play too many pots so when i pick up an ace king and im short and i can as much as tripple up hell ill gamble it every time hand one i would push i think im ahead of his range and i need chips so ill take some chances

Hand 1 i definately shove.

I think hand 2 is actually kind of tough but i would probably put it in there.
