Post by: Bazzaboy on July 17, 2006, 12:30:18 AM You have asked the question with the re-raise and got an answer, unless he is a known lunatic I'd be passing, best you can realistically hope for is to be racing with AK

KK? Title: Re: Pre flop analysis - what's your move here? Post by: pswnio on July 17, 2006, 12:34:29 AM There'd been a lot of loose play on the table beforehand; I think it must have affected my judgement.
Bang on, Royal, and needless to say I didn't hit my two outs. I felt like a fool and was pretty sure I'd make a wrong move; just checking the experts' views :) Thanks. Title: Re: Pre flop analysis - what's your move here? Post by: Royal Flush on July 17, 2006, 12:42:05 AM It's an akward situation, you have nearly 40bb's, too much to get in pre flop. However you dont want to lose chips as the blind will catch up with you. I would still donk them off if i got an overpair on the flop, i am just avoiding losing them to AK/AQ!
Title: Re: Pre flop analysis - what's your move here? Post by: pswnio on July 17, 2006, 12:46:41 AM That's the thing; rising blinds and antes were starting to concern me a little. I've had a tendency when in these positions in MTTs previously to get blinded away till my M is <7 and then get involved in crap shoots. I was trying to correct that - chose the wrong hand though! :(

I was trying to correct that - chose the wrong hand though! :( M<7 doesnt mean a whole lot too me! Diffrent comps require diffrent situations, i cant see how a formula can dictate the correct play! Still 40 BB is plenty enough, if i had 20 BB i would be looking to get it in. |
