Sorry if this seems automatic, but I want to know...Villian was like 13/8 over about 150 hands.

  • i couldn't respond cause its not clear cut for me.. i don't think going all in is the play here but maybe a reraise to about 16k. you don't want him to fold the hands you have beat and call with 2 pair sets and straights. i think you could also call since your hu in position and evaluate the turn. not many cards that we would like to see though but you can raise if he bets the turn or bet if he doesn't. from there im shutting down as i feel really uncomfortable when the blinds play back at me.

    i just think the key to proceeding is to allow worse hands in without letting them draw too cheap. a 12/8 guy over 150 betting from the blinds on that board would put me in the tank. i think my image is usually strong enough that if i re raise he'll need a hand to continue betting.


    Edit: missed the four player in the pot....
  • Villain doesn't seem to play many hands and is aggressive when he does. Given the amount of chips he has, he seems pretty solid. Your preflop raise seems fine but I would still make it 3-4x BB given how deep everyone still is.

    The bet made post flop by HAZZZA is less than half the pot and looks like a probe bet to see where they are and I would put them on a draw or top pair. This is a very wet board and one that needs to be played catiously in a tournament.

    There are some players online who will chase their open ended straight draw to their death and given the stacks, most at this table can afford to take the hit to their stack if they miss. By going all in, you are only going to get called by hands that are ahead now, or will be ahead if they hit their outs for their straight or two pair or trips.

    As pretty as Aces look, they are still only one pair. Not worth risking your tournament life against 2 other callers. Someone may already have the straight, someone may have trips or two pair already.

    I would raise the flop bet to $15k and see what they do next, if they shove, fold - you have plenty of chips and would be out if you call and lose.

    This is one of those flops that I would play Aces more cautiously than most.
  • betting 16k is ridiculous as you'll be pot committed on the turn no matter what with 36K behind and 44K in the pot. It really depends on the villian here. How often has he been donk betting? was he weak or strong?
    This is the worst flop for you. Only thing worse if it was all spades. Given he's tight, I'm assuming he has either has 2 pair, set, or combo draw. We can throw in AJ and KJ for good measure too, which really is the best case scenario for us here.

    At these stakes, ESPECIALLY with a villian behind you, and considering we haven't seen him show down before, I think this is a fold. We are flipping a lot, beat a lot, and ahead very little. If you had less chips it'd be an easy ship, but with our M > 20 after we fold I think it's a solid move to do so.
  • Yes, I would never bet 16k here unless I am trying to get it in on the turn with the immortal nuts. My options I was considering is fold or jam. I hated the flop since its hammered the range that I put on most of the callers. Pretty much I puked my face off when I saw the flop. If he checked, I think I would have bet about what he did, and then folded to the shove/raise. But that didn't happen.

    Honestly, this is my mistake, but I have no clue how often he has donk bet. I didnt check PT3 at the time and I was not paying THAT good of attention. Things to remember in the future I guess...

    Also, this was hindsight, but he has a few big mtt scores on his resume. Didnt know that till this morning though.
  • Uhhh, I'd def just click call here, you could be drawing really close to dead, this isn't your flop with As and it crushes a lot of people's random broadway card calling range hard. If you call and someone else raises you can probably click fold. Shoving is a super big overplay since they rarely have a dry 1-pair that they're stacking off with, but frequently have straights, 2 pair, or pair + straight draws which all crush you/have great equity.

    Really? hmmm... well what if a brick comes and he shoves/commits himself with a bet? I would think thats an even worse spot to be in, no?

    Meh.

    Do we get bluffed by QJ here sometimes? Sure.

    Are we crushed most of the time? I think so.

    Its a pretty simple stove of hands that flat pre and lead flops. Run those through and I struggle to think of hands other than QJ, Q10 that we arent drawing super thin against.

    Its a worse spot in the sense that you're behind even more often when he does that, but that just makes it an easier fold. Shoving pretty muchjust forces them to continue with better hands. Agree with wetts.

    really, a guy who is 13/8 I don't see playing qj, q10, but he will be playing kq.

    Meh, QJ is like the nuts here vs. any reasonable range. 13/8 isn't THAT tight, and who knows how he plays post flop in multi-way pots.

    I'd say JTs and J9s are his most common hands by far, next being like 99 and T9s. Those hands make more sense to lead than KQ since KQ has way less bad turn cards if it's checked through 4-ways.

    Yeah, I wasnt trying to argue, just to understand. Thanks guys.

    Like I said, I really hated the flop, but I convinced myself that this guy (forgot to mention his agg factor was not very high at all - cant remember the exact value and not in pt3 right now) was not very aggressive, so if he flopped two pair or better he would check raise me. I was hoping that he would show up with AJ/KJ/QJ type hands. even QT would have been fine. lol

    Boy did I hate myself after this one, mainly since my first instinct was to fold to the bet...
