Horrible hand (my fault) from deep in Sunday Million

Sometimes you gotta make yourself look like a tit to improve, this is my time. A lot of 2+2 were railing and have seen it anyway…

OK, new to the table so no real reads. I just doubled up vs the villain who made a huge reraise utg+1 to an utg raise commiting himself all in. I called otb w qq and helds vs his 88!
I then raised the co into the shortstacks big blind.
This was the 3rd hand I won in a row.

The ver next hand hand.

The reasons I raised preflop were…
I had databased all of the players behind me on opr, all of them were lowstake players who I didn’t feel would have the balls to reraise me all in light at this stage of the tourney. I was also new to the table, they had no stats on me. The sb defiantly would not reraise me light cause a few hours before he caught me restealing vs him (but vs co) with 98s (he thought for a while and called with qq) and him and his bunch of donks on the rail went on and on about what an idiot I was.

So I was basically taking a shot at the blinds, wanting to stay aggressive in a stage of the tournament where a lot of players will be playing weak tight.

The bb bigstack was a winning lowstake player with 2kprof and like 30% roi or something. I therefore felt there might be a way that I could “outplay” him somehow postflop with position if he calls my raise.

Thinking about this hand in hindsight preflop was REALLY BAD I should not be raising a hand with big reverse implied odds into another bigstack who is proved loose mental with his 88 reraise 2 hands previous.

Preflop is fine, postflop is played fine I think.

You're a bit results-oriented. I will probably bet the flop - and at the low limits it's probably the right play.

But your line is quite fine taking into account strange Villain's bet sizes.

meh, i'm not gonna be ecstatic calling turn/river here because i feel like this late the turn overbet is really strong. but you definitely have a hand at the top of your range here(not that this should matter all that much vs. a low stakes dude w/ good roi, but something to consider) and a bluff/value-bet w/ a worse hand is plausible i suppose. once i call the turn though i'm not folding the river getting those odds. and yea, preflop is whatever, probably necessary in the million.

Pre flop seems reasoanble, and flop is good.

The turn looks dodgy with his overbet though. Once you call on the flop I can't see ever folding the river.

THEOSU · #7 07-24-2007, 11:16 AM

i probably fold preflop, but once it's been raised... standard.

I play it the same. I hope that does not make me a 'tit'

I want to fold the turn.

Why is a scared player overbetting?

I want to fold because I'm a big nit and it looks a lot like a missed CR.

However, villain doesn't sound scared
