Title: Three-handed coup. Post by: Karabiner on July 02, 2007, 09:35:41 AM Last three of a live MTT, blinds are 500/1k and I am 2nd in chips with 38k.
CL has 80k, other player has 20k. I am dealt QQ and raise to 3k, other player folds and CL mini-raises to 6k which I decide to flat call. The flop is Jd Th 6h and the CL bets 10k. Does anyone get away from this ? Title: Re: Three-handed coup. Post by: The_nun on July 02, 2007, 12:07:49 PM I can't get away from it, i'm reraising all in if he has me ..so be it.
Title: Re: Three-handed coup. Post by: The_Diamond on July 02, 2007, 12:48:29 PM horrible spot. Could do with more info on the villain. You've got to think his preflop range is very tight here, like TT-AA. It generally is with a min reraise from the BB. I think the only hand you can hope to be uip against after his flop bet is AJ, and your hand has much less value on such a draw heavy flop. I tihnk folding is perfectly fine.

Without a read or any further information, you've got to be fairly happy with this flop. There are plenty of hands he could be betting the pot with, so like The_Nun, I'm sticking it all-in here.

Post by: Karabiner on July 02, 2007, 02:24:27 PM The pre-flop mini-reraise really worried me as this player is more of a caller, but the texture of that flop induced me to push.
He called quickly. "Aces ?" I enquired. "Yes" said he and no miracle Q appeared and it was third place for me. The thing is that my gut feeling was that I was in trouble and not for the first time I still pushed. ;smackedbottom; Title: Re: Three-handed coup. Post by: temp0r on July 02, 2007, 05:57:53 PM the old min-raising to make it obvious i've got AA/KK/QQ/AK trick. genius. i've seen it so often from poor live players i could pass it actually. i passed KK preflop in the rebuy period at star city last week. beat that!
