£10+1 sixpac on Betfair, standard hand or badly played?

shoutman

I had no read on the following play but standard raises were between 3 and 4 times the bb. Should I dump my tens preflop as I'm out of position, should I reraise all in preflop?, should I go all in on what is a good board for a pair of tens or was my line of putting in a info bet then folding to the reraise a good one?

What are the stack sizes??

edited to include stack sizes.

Jaysus it's fairly shallow, it must have been a rock garden of a table, or do these 6 Pacs have a terrible structure??

If you're re-raising PF then it's a Push or nothing. If you call you're basically committed to a low flop such as this, if I lead out (that's not a push) I'll defo call a re-raise.

I might have just pushed PF, or on a flop like this I'd probably Check with the intention of RAI or Calling All-In, or open pushing turn if checked behind. Alot of my play would be Villain dependant, but certainly all my chips are going in the middle here more often than not.

There was a lot of chips being moved around by different players but in a very circular motion, the structure isnt that bad and some players are very loose, I hate being all in if avoidable in these tournaments as I am fairly confident that I can outplay at least four of the six people at the table more often than not.

I know that after this hand I have left myself short but I just think that the only hand I have beaten that he is pushing with is the nut flush, maybe its just me but I dont tend to see reraises in this game unless the player is very strong.

imo, as played i call the all in, expect to see AKh a lot here and also JJ,QQ. i know it souns bad i cant remember any other site where pocket pairs come up together thn betfair. i play there most often and see it very frequently. i push pre-flop here also, although calling and pushing an under flop isnt terrible either.

personally - id av got the chips over the line without hesitation and expect to be ahead.

EDIT: Id av got the chips in Preflop. I always try to get a stack early in sixpacks - I find that ppl are more likely to call on a marginal hand/when behind if you force them all across the line - I find a a tenner most ppl feel that if they get beat there is another one to go to.

Shove pf. You played the hand terribly up to this point so best not to make things worse by folding. Call now.

Thanks for the advice people, It seems that most times I post hands asking for advice the answer is that I'm playing too cautiously.

Poker is gambling after all, and TBH, you're not going to be outplaying anyone when you only have 15BB's left (as you did when you folded here)
