  • What's the buy in? What's the table doing? How are we playing? How many are left?

    I can fold here, but that would depend on the table and my image. If I have been a rock, I lead out with 3x, letting everyone know I am very interested..there is 10% of our stack already in the pot with just blinds and antes..if we get re-raised, it is easy to let go. Still have 15 bb and position coming up...

    If we are playing loosey-goosey...I probably still raise and shove to a re raise knowing we are probably ahead in a race.

    If we get one caller and (likely) an over card lands..A or K, I cbet (or c/r depending on who calls and how I perceive them). Q, I check/fold. (maybe float depending on flop texture) (if I have a tight image)

    I am plenty ok with a fold here too.

    too many unknowns...

    tear me up...

    I havent really had time to think about the hand in general, but:

    Really? You're openfolding 1010? I may have read what you typed wrong though.

    lol..it isn't my first choice by any means...and yeah I know..tight. I am not limping, and I am not open shoving...but, with position coming and it costing me 3x to raise with only 20bb, some circumstances may justify a fold...
  • DennisG wrote: »

    I cant think of any.

    Unless its a satellite bubble.

    Its definately a tricky spot, but I think folding is super weaktight here.

    Personally I think:

    open raise > shove > limp > fold.

    If we get shipped on after we open then there are decisions to be made, and folding is in that range depending on the villain.
  • I like raising to 2.5x BB. that is my general raise. If I had played the last 2 or 3 hands I might consider a limp, call a raise if it happens. depending on how the flop comes ill prob play it slow calling any flop with 2 low card and a face, but folding if an ace falls. If he continues to bet on turn Id prob fold. But considering your stack also I have changed my mind and dont think we could call a bet on flop, we would either have to decide to push to a bet or fold. Depends on the person in the pot and how they have been playing. I would never consider open folding, thats just me, I wouldnt say its a horrible play, but your only at 20xBB and if you wanna win you eventually need to get a stack. Generally how the hand plays out depends on whos in the hand and how they have been playing.
  • Seems like a standard raise, you're representing quite a bit of strength opening that stack from EP so unless you have a read on a player I might let this go if reraised. If someone calls I'm a little bit worried about getting trapped but you'll just have to deal with that situation the best you can

    (you'd probably shove up to 15 BB's with antes but I can't think of a situation to open muck unless you're dealing with some pretty heavy icm stuff...ever)
  • i appreciate the comments...still not sure....it seems im reduced to set mining and or continuation betting with air......

    I think if you standard open and get called you are almost always setmining.

    I dont like cbetting in this spot unless the flop is super dry.

    super dry would be we have an over pair to the board.....which is we do cbet, were folding to a re raise and getting messed up over a call

    then we've reduced this hand to 22-99 no?
    and were' folding to a preflop re raise for any decent size stack (without a crazy history).

    I'm leaning towards laying this down alot......
  • I wouldn't even think about laying this down, if you're worried about seeing a flop and wondering what to do, might as well just shove instead.

    sure but.... how would play each of 77 88 99 ......cause im likely folding those....


    and as far as limping the tt in ep (others considered), your likely calling a raise that will be more than what you would have bet and seen the flop in the first place. which is not a good way to set mine imo
  • I raise this hand in this situation to 700-750. You have a good starting hand and enough chips behind you to fold if action gets to hyper behind you.

    On the flop, depending on how many called, I may cbet if an over card hits. If two overcards come down, I probably c/f or check/evalute depending on flop texture and opponent. The more people that call, the less likely I bet out with the overcard.

    IMO the hand is too strong to open fold pre, but is a hand you have to play with caution as it vulnerable.

    I play them the same way as 1010. Open and evaluate further action.

  • okok I open shove.
  • darbday wrote: »
    from utg+1....you ......do.....not?!

    what, you're goign to sit around and wait for KK?

    I allways open raise with 77+ from any position, as long as its unopened.
    You have no reason to believe you don't have the best hand. If you get called, you can re-evaluate.

    Back to the TT spot.
    I am folding this hand somwhere between NEVER and NEVER. you have 20bbs. I'm raising / shipping here almost all the time unless villian is a nit.
    EDIT: I'm also raising about 3-4bbs. Make it hard for villians to call, and let them know you're serious. I really see no reason to ship, as I personally don't mind a call.

    If I get called I cbet often say 75% of the time. I think the only time i'm not cbetting is flops like AKJ, 567 one suit, KQ8, etc. but it's all villian dependant. On a 567 one suit against LAG tard ill probably C/R, but I really don't want a call here.

    TT>90% of hands out there. You have to play it with your stack.
  • 88/99 I play the same way as TT. 77/66 I play the same way some of the time, but will occaisionally just fold or shove, depends on my tilt mood. 55 and under I fold.

    Limping TT the only way I would play this would be to reshove a raiser essentially turning my hand into a bluff, but the chances of me playing it this way are very small.

    in early position yes im waiting for a premium hand.

    77-99 will flop 2 over cards 35% of the time, 1 40%, and none 13%. i don't believe you can push through that without spewing most of the time, especially with more than one caller. And against any preflop re raise you can't possible think your ahead.


    and a contination bet will sometimes get a fold but i think alot of times will get a call, and i serously think you cannot fire another bullet under very many circumstances at all

    So you get 2 overs 1 in 3, 1 over 2 outta 5. You will also hit a set 1 in about 7. So you raise, you may get called, and depending on who calls you there is still the possibility of having position (if one of the blinds call).

    I like playing a little more small-ball, as I want to be able to raise to show strength, yet be able to get away cheaply if 3bet or called.

    But I still think it is a raise and evaluate. I am almost never shipping it in pre as we are at best a coin flip, unless the villain is completely aggro.

    But IMO you have to be able to raise this and play from there. Waiting for position or even better hands at this level I find just blinds you away.
  • jacks through aces make up 1,8% of our opponents ranges. Laying this down is completely out of the question since we have the best hand 0,982^8 = 87% of the time
  • darbday wrote: »
    so this wasn't you then?

    hah. no, that sucks.

    as you said 30% of the time you have 77, 2 overs come. Doesn't mean you can't cbet. What if the flop is 689? or 28K? still pretty good flops for you. Can villian really call you with Q8 on those flops? Its pretty hard. With these hands you're not really looking for an overpair, just the best hand. When you think you have it, or when you think villian's too weak to play second pair, you have to bet, and most of the time you'll win the pot.

    If you sit around waiting for JJ+ AQ+ you'll get blinded out. Remember, TT is still better off then AK.

    Preflop with 77 you might get reraised, and you'll probably have to let it go, but hey thats poker.
    I'll treat it the same as AJ/AQ in this spot. I'll raise/fold depending on stack sizes/idiot plays, and cbet most flops. The majority of the time I win pots.

    are you re raising to a preflop 3bet or calling.....the problem lies in the postflop lines.... tt doesn't play well oop esp if it becomes multiway. not completely arguing but more pushing all the lines everyone suggests.

    i really think your reduced to set minning the flop

    you have three lines on a missed set mine flop, check fold on the flop or turn.

    bet most of your stack and shove/fold to a re raise with no info.

    Meh, if you're afraid to get into a profitable spot cause you're afraid to play postflop you're getting bluffed too much, adjust by calling more postflop I guess

    would you openfold AKo there too cause you don't like your position when the flop becomes multiway cause you'll miss as many times as an overcard will hit your 1010?

    AK plays way better imo

    I'll take the made hand every day over the draw. While some may say it is 50/50ish, that is only 50/50 if it gets to the river. On a dry flop you can bet with some confidence and play from there.

    I raise 1010 here everyday. It isn't a top 10 hand for nothing.
  • ok, so here's what I've been doing this morning:

    Shoving 1010 unexploitably yields this:

    "675 x 0,87" chips gained when everyone folds times the probability that everyone folds excluding flips

    "(6150+300) x 0,13 x 0,19" Chips won when called by JJ through AA. 300 is an estimate depending on who calls you, if the BB calls it'll be a bit less and if anyone else calls a bit more, times the probability you get called times the equity in pot when calles

    "-6150x0,13x0,81" chips you lose times the probability that you lose them



    675x0,87+(6150+300)x0,13x0,19-6150x0,13x0,81

    675x0,87 + 0,13x6150(0,19-0,81) + 300x0,13x0,19

    587,25 - 495 + 7,4

    100

    Adding all scenarios together to figure out that we're netting about 1/3 of a BB by shoving.

    Add to this the fact that we may get called by smaller pairs occasionally and other random hands that we crush. Hope at least I've shown that folding is out of the question. We should definitely play it somehow and I hate the mindset "let's raise more to protect them hands" so we'll just have to endure the tough hypothetical spots
