Title: This is good enough to make a stand with right????
Post by: Hairydude on January 04, 2009, 06:42:38 PM
have played a few of these $8.80 Million double shootout satellites today-keep winning the 1st one but getting knocked out in the 2nd.

Anyway since we have been down to 3 handed Villain has raised every hand- (been 6 hands 3 handed) and had been fairly aggro at the table beforehand anyway. I myself have been picking spots to be aggro at this table but less than villain- is this a good enough hand to come over the top given opponents playing style! $20 in the bank but obv want the million seat for 1st.

Only the winner gets a seat, right?

If so, then yeah you can reshove with any two really.

if top two get a seat, it's an easy fold.

For sure. If he's raising every hand this is plenty big enough to push.

Really-with 20x BB reshove with any 2???

Trying not to be results orientated but I shoved and he called with 99- 2 hearts on board but no luck-at 1st thought I might have been a bit too aggro with 20x BB and was getting frustrated him running over me-but think it was the right move just wrong timing but when I shoved

just wrong timing really. If he raises every single hand (and assuming he's not a calling station but does know when to fold a hand) any two cards (or atleast semi decent 67 off and all that) will do.

was his standard raise 6xbb?

there or there abouts- thats why It made it a harder decision as it seemed exploitable but dont think I can wait all day on a tight range- as for him calling I'd seen him make a few moves earlier where he's folded these raises, but then on another 5 handed he called off with K10 after a large reraise preflop and knocked the guy out so he seemed a bit in the maniac category
