Title: Deepstack tourney, what's the right play? Post by: MC on September 12, 2008, 02:16:30 PM This is fairly similar to last hand I posted. I think I played it about right, but am interested in opinions on this.
DTD £300 Monthly deepstack, 10k starting chips. We've managed to dwindle to 6k in a couple of recent hands without doing much wrong. Table image? Active, possibly even loose (though not necessarily the case). This is important in terms of what I'd be given credit for on the flop. Everyone else can be said as effectively on starting stack... 2 Limpers...We have 6s 6c and limp also. Button raises to 400 (blinds are 50/100), limpers both call. I call. Flop = 5c 7h 8d It's checked to you. What is your line here.... Title: Re: Deepstack tourney, what's the right play? Post by: Royal Flush on September 12, 2008, 02:19:38 PM check shove

Title: Re: Deepstack tourney, what's the right play? Post by: AlexMartin on September 15, 2008, 06:59:24 AM check shove this looks best to me sir. 40% equity assuming button is standard solid live donk, range has smacked a caller, he folds overpairs a lot. poss even b/3b flop just to make sure u get it in there, depends how aggro button is. If his surname ends in thorsk or en deffo just cr shove. Actually forget that, stack aint big enough for 3/3b. If action is r3tardedly heavy before you (forgot its 4way to flop) then i probs just pass. Title: Re: Deepstack tourney, what's the right play?

Your mistake in the hand was your read on the button. The button was a tight player who had not played a lot of hands and was not making a scandinavian style button raise to take control of the pot with position. He had a big pair and was not going anywhere. QQ I seem to recall. Online with no reads this is a pretty standard play. In a live game you need to be reading the players and trusting your reads.

Tight players quite often made terrible folds "i thought he flopped a set" etc + you have 40% equity, its a pretty standard check shove Title: Re: Deepstack tourney, what's the right play?

It was level two, I had no real reads. The guy hadn't sat there and not played a hand. This was his 2nd raise I think, he'd been in a couple of other hands. Nothing to suggest he was a rock. I thought it was a definite possibility he had an overpair but even so how do you lay down on this flop? Anyways, thanks for your opinions chaps...I did check shove and he did indeed call with the ladies. Then blankety blank and an early exit for me! |
