    close but you're too short to fold here. Im all in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,751 ✭✭✭BigCityBanker


    whats the possibility that one of the 2 already involved in the hand will go broke on this hand?

    Realistically you have 6 BB's - if u aint gonna get it in with 99 - well then what are you gonna get it in with?

    i know bigb . but is it a push or fold? thats really what im asking what u would do, im never flat falling calling here..

    sorry i forgot to mention utg +1 is loose and big stack is ubber tight... i either have to see a low board or hit my set to justify a call here?.....

    i actually dont like getting it in here, you are putting your tounrey on the line with 99 and against at least 3 overcards. push any random hand next is better ev than calling here imo.

    2nd caller made my decision , wrong move with another one involved?

    With 6bb, I am all-in everytime, you simply have no time to play and have chance of tripling up and putting you back into conntention of winning this.
    Of course you may be against overpair but you could also be against overcards and ones which are cancelling themselves out..
    So definate call for me.

    I would push and hope to get isolation from EP which is what he should do no matter what he has. There's a chance you're up against a smaller pair or Ax and he was going for a blind steal. The only reason for folding here is if there are other stacks about to bust and there's a considerable jump in the mula.

    ep covers
    lp covers

    Just one thing, it's better to give the stack sizes rather than just being "covered", as it will affect how the other two players play against each other (and everyone else), giving you clues about their holdings. For example, if lp had 10BBs left here, he'd probably push with AK, etc. Also, what stack/hand has ep got that he can afford to just raise with here?

    Jumps in prize money are good to know too.

    But anyway, I'd say it's a call with just 6BBs left, but like cardshark says, it's close.

    Edit: Sorry, AI of course, not a call!

    ep was approx 120k
    lp 200k..

    1st place $2,1k

    thanks for the replies appreciated...

    Gotta agree with goodluck. But i think this is dependent on EP isolating, if ur positive he will isolate and has something like AK/AQ then ur getting a good scenario in a boosted pot with 99. Assuming u pushed, if EP flat calls then its 100% given that LP overcalls, so you're facing either 3-4 overcards, an overpair or a situation where ur totally screwed. Last 1 is highly unlikely, very few players in LP at these blinds will smooth call with a pair above 9s, so he's got something semi-strong, low-medium pair/KQ soooooted something along those lines. EP puts in 1/4 of his stack pre UTG so obv likes his hand at least enough to put him on AK/AQ or JJ+....

    on balance i'd pass, let them at it, next available push i'm pushing. I'd rather go out of an mtt everytime with junk stealing than 99 calling 2 hands. You still have enough of a stack so that you wouldnt be autocalled with any push, and its +25% your stack a steal.

    1 final piece of BAD advice (but it's an option) is to smooth call the raise and fold if the flop comes A K x etc. this is terrible advice but i do it more than i should myself when short stacked, effectively a stop n go that sometimes turns into a stop!!!! you wont find this advice in any book, it really does suck but..... you still have a tiny stack then to go nuts with. bad advice , just throwing it out there ;)
