This might be an easy one but I was torn..

mundking had been shipping a lot ofcoure, but with the call ahead of me and having the utg raiser left to act....well, what do you do here? I really don't think calling is ever good..ship or fold and why?

    I ship.
    It looks like a squeeze (and you have a hand, ask sstar about that) and the only one I am really concerned about stack wise is the original raiser.

    Any read on UTG raiser?

    I fold. JJ is too vulnerable against 3 hands with a long way to go in this tourny. Ship if you believe UTG is folding.

    I would have insta shipped in the past, but I think I'm getting better. Fold and look away imo.

    He hadn't been at the table long. Late reg'd, but was quite aggro right off the bat. He was already aipf atleast twice, post flop a couple times as well.

    ship it. We know we would ship qq+. So if we think we have fold equity JJ becomes an easy ship and shipping looks really strong to utg. He might fold aq ak and qq. I think you can reason a fold but if I can reason a shove then id prob do it. Also I think theres a greater chance 2 people have ak here

    To me it really only matters what UTG has and whether he will play. If you have a solid read as agg then ship. 25% of those cards in the deck are kryptonite to you though.

    yup but we can't exactly know so we figure he calls aa kk for sure usually ak qq and sometimes folds jj and tt... and we expect him to fold a certain extra unknown amount

    that dead money makes it profitable to ship even if sometimes we are snapped by aces (maybe).

    Not exactly, we KNOW he calls with anything that beats us outright. And if he's aggy he may very well call all hands we are racing (AQ,AK, KQ). I will wait for a better spot, but again only because I don't sufficiently know his range this early.

    fold but i'm nitty.
  • djgolfcandjgolfcan
    The hand I am concern about is the flat pre-flop call of tjeu76 - he has just committed more than half his chips pre-flop, there is no way he is folding after the flop.

    So its gone, raise (early position), re-raise all in, call and now we have to act and there is still the initial raiser to decide.

    I puke and fold. Its a long, long tourney and if these really are spewtards, we'll find better spots than this.
  • kwstevekwsteve
    Crying fold.
  • SharantyrSharantyr
    I really don't think utg is folding, if only based on a gut feeling and the few hands he had been in.

    One example:

    A5o/q8o/k10 were also in his range so far.

    Villain 2 being all in does not bother me.

    Villain 3 flat calling 2/3 of his stack is not going anywhere pre or post flop regardless.

    My feeling here is that if I do beat utg the side pot is still not equal to the stack I have already, and as noted there is a long way to go.. If I ship and he folds, it is still half my stack I am flipping for vs V2 and V3. It is a monster pot if I am ahead and hold to be sure but...I think I would much rather be able to control the situation and make a play postflop which I don't think is possible here. I hope that makes some sense...
  • UnknownUnknown
    knowing he might snap you as wide as 98s then its a clear jam i think
  • Hellmuth's MoleHellmuth's Mole
    The more I think about it, is it right to completely dismiss flatting like MP?

    Chances are great villian comes along but if he doesn't jam behind we can get a good feel for his strength. T high flop comes and break your wrists getting it in.
  • HammerDadHammerDad
    Looking at chip stacks I probably ship and hope to have some fold equity vs initial raiser and iso the 2 short stacks. Also, if initial raiser is likely to call super wide, I ship here as well.

    I can see reason for a crying fold as well as this definitely is (edit) not (end edit) a fist pump shove.
  • betrthanphilbetrthanphil
    Well I was gonna say fold first but after seeing him call off with 89s it kinda makes me wanna ship. However I think the all in flatter is probably very strong, he doesn't shove because he wants more people in the hand. I prob just fold here.
