    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero (t2370)
    UTG (t430)
    UTG+1 (t1335)
    MP1 (t2445)
    MP2 (t4516)
    MP3 (t1805)
    CO (t1150)
    Button (t2375)
    SB (t1655)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with Kclub.gif, Qspade.gif.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls t150, 6 folds, Hero checks.

    Flop: (t375) 7club.gif, Tspade.gif, Kspade.gif(2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG+1 bets t1185 (All-In)
    HERO???

    Is this a call?
    1550 in the pot, 1200 or so to call. So like 1.3-1.
    If I assign the following %s

    AK 10%
    KJ, K9, K8 10%
    KT (or two pair) 5%
    AT 15%
    Tx or small pocket pair 15%
    Flush draw (ace high) 20%
    JQ 20%
    Bluff(drawing to runner-runner) 5%

    That gives me about 55% equity in the pot so it seems like a call?
    Anyone have any thoughts/comments on the call? Like, is there any need for me to risk a large portion of my stack?

    btw, I assume this is a check pre flop.

    Any previous history on villain, hows the table been playing previously? Your own previous actions/image?

    insta call.

    AK is much more unlikely than a weak K,QJ a flush draw etc. So you are rarely dominated and often dominating.

    I've been playing a fairly TAG game. Villain seems like the standard with a few loose pre flop calls.

    Hmm, i like to have some sort of a read here before i get all in although when people push here like this its usually with the likes of a drawing hand like QJ or 2 spades or as Sikes said a weaker King. I think its fairly tight and wouldnt mind a fold until i get a read because your assumptions on his range cant be that accurate unless youve seen quite a few hands shown down?

    btw what was your intention with the check on the flop if he made a standard bet?

    I was pretty sure I was ahead so I checked trying to induce a bluff. So I was planning a ch-raise all in.

    bet the flop, snap call now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 590 ✭✭✭bman


    I'd be awful surprised if he bets like this with a hand that currently beats you. If he's beating you at the minute he wants to get your chips, not chase you out with a massive overbet. I call and expect to be shown something like As7s.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 549 ✭✭✭Jam-Fly


    Ready for results?

    I'd probably make the call here - maybe - holding the Q of spades is a big bonus for you here. If I had Kc Qh I would probably fold

    Dont think you beat much here TBH, even against a flush draw or OESD you are very marginal at best. Folding is fine. If you lead the flop then i call, as played i prob fold, depending on my mood really, its marginal. You still survive if losing which is a predominant factor.

    top pair with second best kicker, insta call for me,
    possiblly should have raise PF.

    Villian could be holding pkt 10's, always a race as no other PF info to act on.
