    for me it really depends on the other players...have you been at the table for long, are they call machines etc...

    first hand is easier to get away from an I fold here....

    second hand depending on the read I fold or push....

    Hand 1 I probably shove here.

    Hand 2 is a tricky one, as it is very possible you are up against an overpair to the flop and a flushdraw + overcards from the other guy. Without any clear information though I fold here.

    hand 1 is a clear shove, ul if he has AA/KK

    hand 2, if I think 1 or both is solid I lay it down expecting to see 88/77


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,266 ✭✭✭Rnger


    fold both without any reads

    Hand 1 - Shovski for me. looks like CO is squeezing.

    Hand 2 - Foldski. They both obviously have PPs, one maybe AKs, so I'd fold.

    Players who have half a buy at a 25 50c table do not know what a squeeze is!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,895 ✭✭✭✭phantom_lord


    fold both.

    I call hand 1. The guy's left with 36 which is roughly the pot after you call. Assuming the initial raiser ain't calling, he will probably shove the flop with JJ+ depending on the board of course. I think if you shove you're getting rid of all hands that aren't AA,KK.

    If there's an A or K on the flop, you can easily get away from it.

    Oh yeah, if he checks the flop, I shove it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,696 ✭✭✭Hectorjelly


    hand 1 isnt a clear anything. If the first raiser had a full buy in it would be a definite fold, now I think its a relunctant fold.

    fold both.

    I fold both without any other info - half a buyin is still 100 big blinds, although the bet is the exact size of the stack of the UTG original raiser, and he may be trying to isolate him if the original raiser is likely to raise and call a raise with garbage

    I think a flat call here is probably the worst of the three options. Firstly I encourage utg+1 to call with almost any two cards, certainly any two cards he would be raising 4*bbs with from that position. If however we raise then he could fold a lot of hands that could cause us problems if we get to showdown.

    Secondly there really isn't a flop I like outside of QQx or a full house. If an A or K lands and the CO pushes I have to fold, if a card between J-9 lands and he pushes then I've an even tougher decision to make.

    Thirdly, I'm essentially giving the CO 3 free cards, I really don't want to do that QQ, or with any hand to be honest.


    anyone agree or disagree and why?

    lol,
    you have to agree with this.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,754 ✭✭✭ianmc38


    Well that's assuming it's Tribeca. If it's another site it's 100BB, not that too many know what a squeeze play is anyways.

    Results

    Hand 1

    I shoved, I didn't like the raise to $16, it smacked off not wanting to lay down his hand but not really wanting to play a hand either. utg+1 called and was all-in and the CO folded. utg+1 had 6d6s and my hand held up.

    Hand 2
    I really wanted to call, but folded after taking the maximum time to think about it.

    utg+1 had AsKs for the nut flush draw
    MP2 had TsTc

    neither hand improved and MP2 took it down.
