i Fancy youre ahead here. All in and close your eyes and hope you don't get outdrawn. Other hands KQ & AJ.

Irrespective of whether I was ahead or not (reveal later) am I losing/winning revenue from always passing in this spot versus two different types of player or from always calling?

what are your views on that?

Long run given the hands that you could be losing to or can get outdrawn with then its the right pass. But poker decisions are situational and if you think you're in front then i stand by shove it in and close your eyes.

Wouldn't say its a STANDARD pass, its a good, disciplined pass tho.

Just out of interest what did you put them on?

Disagree.
You are rarely ahead here. Good pass. Your hand is relatively transparent. Theirs isnt.

I don't think playing for stacks here against 2 players is likely to show a profit.

IMO the only combo you're beating here is TAG with QQ or AKss and loose with a draw.  TAG would def raise here with a set as he's afraid of the flush or another broadway card - loose obv goes ai with a wide range including hands that beat you.  As you saw the result it somewhat biases towards TAG having a hand that beats you or AsKs, so not sure its that relevant to the discussion.  I would fold here anyway, but would have a tougher decision if it was just the TAG heads-up and would probably need to know a bit more about his play.


ps stop playing full ring, it's not clever or funny.

I put TAG on a set ( overpair unlikely given flat call pre on button and unlikely to raise with AJ here, no previous inclination to raise big draws), and LAG on spades, possibly KQ spades

TAG called with Jh Jd

LAG had  Th Tc

I am far more experienced at full ring than 6 max, and haven't the time to put the hours in at 6 Max to get competitive

Might be doing myself down, but its a mental thing

Nice fold sir.

Lesson learnt for me. If you had  Td Th or  7d 7c on this board would you fold?

no

set under set on almost all boards, I'm stacking off.

Ok. If you had 77 on this flop why would a fold here be any different to having KK, your behind drawing to one out with 77 v set of Jacks / tens but have 2 outs if you have KK. Either way drawing thin.

Asking from a learning point of view not an argumentitive wee shite view.

Is it purely because its harder to lay a set down?

Basically yes

Ok TY.

Post by: TightEnd on October 24, 2007, 11:34:00 PM
mind you if it went 50 >>150>>>400 on this board and I had bottom set that might qualify as an "almost fold a set" board

Yep. With that action it's an auto fold on virtually any board without a King.

(Anyone calling here should probably play tournaments instead.)

Bottom set beats 2 pair and has redraws against a flush/straight should that hit.

77 is significantly stronger than KK here against a single opponent (who has JT within their range) but generally I'd be folding it in this situation.

Understand all that guys but richard said he put one of them on a set so my theory was if he had bottom set would he still fold, even though he has less outs.

yes but your question didn't specify whether I was the one with 77 in this spot.....(pedants rule ok)

as I said above, it might have been a fold for me there to that action

lol, you asked why 77 was different from KK here.


Title: Re: Standard fold I suppose
Post by: celtic on October 24, 2007, 11:48:02 PM
sorry meant to say why WOULDNT he fold 77 on this board. As KK is in a better position than 77 here. Yes? No?

It depends on their range but generally 77 is better.

Against a higher set, KK (~8%) and 77 (~4%) are both drawing thin. However against 2 pair, and drawing hands 77 is significantly stronger.

smart money... my question was if richard had 77 and put one of them on a set would he fold?? he said (initially prob not and i said KK is in a better position that 77 on this flop, why wouldnt he fold, and he said cos its a set and harder to fold.

Hope thats clearer.
