Title: Re: Calling range in stars $109 Post by: this.life.my.cage on June 09, 2006, 03:00:07 AM AA and KK are obvious calls no matter the table/player
Call with AK, QQ and JJ depending on any read i have on the player Im folding everything else He probably has two over cards and i dont want a race at this early stage in a tournament Title: Re: Calling range in stars $109 Post by: Rupert on June 09, 2006, 03:12:55 AM Why don't you want to race? What is "a better spot"? Gonna sit back and wait for aces? It's a 1500 stack tourney with a standard clock, not 10,000 with 2 hour clock.
Hypothetically, if you KNOW he has AK, do you call or fold? Title: Re: Calling range in stars $109 Post by: this.life.my.cage on June 09, 2006, 03:22:58 AM what are the blinds? i thought it was early in the tournament?
if its early on and he has AK, im still folding. No need to risk my tournament on a 50/50 shot IMO Title: Re: Calling range in stars $109 Post by: JungleCat03 on June 09, 2006, 04:26:07 AM This is player dependent but i think usually you gotta fold.
The other day in the 5k I was at a table where one player stood out as very poor. Level 2 i limped 88 UTG for 60, it came round to him and he pushed for 900. everyone else passed so it was heads up and i instacalled as i knew even 88 was killing his range and i wanted his chips before he spunked them off elsewhere. He flipped J2 off (yes he hit the obligatory jack lol) The other aspect of this was I wouldve had 700 left if i was wrong which i thought i could work back into a stack if i needed to. Very few players are this crazy preflop though so personally i fold 95% of the time here. As a good player you'll find some better spots to commit with. 99 you wont be in good shape vs most people's ranges though find a crazy and it might be a call.

No need to risk my tournament on a 50/50 shot IMO It says at the top 50-100, he has pushed in for 20x bb. I am thinking he has AK TT 99 88 77. Title: Re: Calling range in stars $109 Post by: this.life.my.cage on June 09, 2006, 10:17:33 AM 50-100? :D
wait, there will be plenty of better moments to beat this guy |
