Title: should i call? Post by: johnnybond on January 12, 2009, 10:33:36 AM Playing in my regular sunday pub tourney yesterday.
4 left, 3 paid. blinds are 800 1600 i have just under 25000 and am big blind. guy on the button makes it 5400. He is normally TAG but when short handed i know he will make moves. I have Ac 6c and call his raise others have folded. flop comes Js 6h 2c. I raise 7200. He shoves. he has 4k more than me do i call? Title: Re: should i call? Post by: Longy on January 12, 2009, 11:14:36 AM Shove or fold pre, it is probably close but I would probs shove but your read on his range is better than mine. He only has about 10bbs pre, playing a flop is totally lol unless you are tarping.
Once you bet out this is biggest no brainer call of all time, you are getting like a million to 1. Always consider at least one move ahead in poker, why are we betting here to get him to fold,call or raise? Fwiw once you get to flop and make a pair you should never pass. Title: Re: should i call?

I make it about 18bb i had around 25k he had about 4k more ~ 29k. I think the shove pre would have been the better move. wont say what happened yet tho. just trying to get opinions to try and improve my game. Title: Re: should i call? Post by: gatso on January 12, 2009, 12:42:48 PM what longy said
Title: Re: should i call? Post by: TheChipPrince on January 12, 2009, 01:13:00 PM To much in there to pass when youve hit middle pair, i would call...
Title: Re: should i call? Post by: MC on January 12, 2009, 08:24:42 PM Yeah, prefer the shove pre to the button raise....
Looks like you're committed here...he could well be shoving Ace high thinking your lead out is weak... Title: Re: should i call? Post by: AlexMartin on January 13, 2009, 01:40:32 AM stacks arent deep enough to play this hand postflop, out of position, without the initiative. fold or shove pre.
Title: Re: should i call? Post by: snoopy1239 on January 13, 2009, 02:10:17 AM Fold or push pre, but as it is, call and clench.
Title: Re: should i call? Post by: johnnybond on January 14, 2009, 03:49:08 PM Fold or push pre, but as it is, call and clench. Yeah i realise i should have folded or shoved pre now.He shoved with A high trying to push me off i called and won. Not the correct play but it worked out this time! I posted it because i didnt feel i made the right move with the call and small raise but thats what this forum is for i suppose! Thanks for the replies. Johnny |
