Two Irish Open feature Table hands

nicnicnic

standard; but both these hands have stuck with me and very few have. I played on the feature table for about 90 mins in the latter stages of day two. Hand one was the first hand I played on the table so no reads, hand two was the last before table was broken.


1. my stack 54k blinds 1500/3k antes 200 i think would be close enough to the average

UTG bets 9k (has me covered)

MP pushes for 25k

I'm the button with JJ

2.

Stack 70k

Blinds 2k/4k

Utg Limps as do next Two players so with the blinds there's over 20k in the pot I'm the button with A9os

Hi Nicky,
In the 1st hand, I think with the UTG player to act behind you and covers you, it looks like a fold(specially as you had no reads of UTG)

In hand 2, I,d really need to know the stacks of the limpers. It looks like a great oppertunity to pick up 20k but a lot would depend on their stack sizes, what hands theve shown down previous and indeed your own image at the time. If your image was good and tight, it looks a good spot for a squeeze but its really read dependant.

UTD is aggro scandi UTG +1 is tight Scandi all middling stacks. For some reason I think UTG has limped with small suited

short and simple response here.

hand 1, fold.
hand 2, push 9/10

as long as u c nothing suspicious about any of the limps, its a great spot to pick up 20k and as its almost 25% of ur stack.....its a no brainer really

1st hand I fold. Not enough info to call a raise and a reraise.

Its far from a no brainer. Will villains limp and checkraise AI??

If you've a tight image I raise between 12k and 16k here and hope to pick it up.

Captain Tom

yeah hand 1 looks like a fold w/o any reads.

unsure about hand 2 tbh.raise/fold obviously isnt an option and i dont think im comfertable pushing for 18bb's.also its an obvious spot to steal so i think you can get looked up pretty light.i think its a much easier decision with 15bb's or less.

Fold the first hand your in a tight spot, I imagine they (or maybe only one) showed down, and you were racing and wish you should of taken it.

hand two depends on the table, too hard to tell in a post

nicnicnic

surprised to see the consensus is a fold for the JJ its a auto-push for me here luckily enough utg folds and 25k has 66 and the jacks fold

second hand i raised 20k and the table folded but it was clenched checks

Hectorjelly

Hand 1 would contemplate folding. Quite close I feel, id like to know more about the players. I would probably look for reasons to call rather than the other way around.

Hand 2 I would definitely push
