Instant HH from a 4/180

Sherman · #1 06-13-2007, 12:15 PM

Hand from a 4/180 I am playing in right now. Thoughts on the PFR and what to do now?

Reads: The LP raise is has played 50% of the 16 hands thus far. Not sure what he has shown down. The cold caller is equally loose. Thoughts on the PFR?

The player behind me who shoves just moved to the table this hand. So no reads whatsoever.

After he shoves, the original raise pauses for a bit, then calls. Action to me?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t2520)
BB (t2820)
UTG (t1530)
UTG+1 (t1220)
MP1 (t1600)
MP2 (t4190)
CO (t1370)
Button (t1090)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP2 raises to t60, 1 fold, Button calls t60, Hero raises to t250, BB raises to t2820, MP2 calls t2760, Button folds, Hero?

Sherman, from my limited time here you seem like you are pretty knowledgable. Just wondering why you are only playing the 4/180 as opposed to 10/180 or 20/180?? It scares the B'Jesus out of me to think players who are as clued up are lurking in these lower events when I'm playing in 10/180 and 20/180.

I sold my BR for an engagement ring last summer. Been rebuilding and am rolled for higher games...but I'm a BR nit.

I think the PFR is fine and (I can't believe I'm saying this in a $4/180, but...) I think you're dominated here.

Flame away.

(Aw hell, realistically I'd probably still get it in there but I'd know I was beat.)

I will not accept this argument.

well ur gonna, prepare to be dominated

sapsuckah · #8 06-13-2007, 12:30 PM

Me neither. Making the right play in all situations is what makes you the better player.

I remember calling this once in a micro and was up against 2 guys who both had AK.
Nice pot for me [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

But in with 2 players already all-in i normally would fold this.

the 10s and 20s don't go off very often so its much easier to play 6-8 4/180s at a time or a mix of each.
