Title: QQ faced with an all-in...... Post by: Matt50 on January 30, 2009, 10:49:45 AM The tournament is the £150 +1 re-buy or add on at the Rendevouz Casino in Brighton.
We are at Level 4, blinds 150/300. I have 18k, villan has 14k (average is about 17k) Villain is a competent player who plays many big buy in tournaments. He has shown down 2 hands when called after making big bets, one a complete bluff, the other the nuts. I have a fairly tight image, having won a few small pots and the only hand i have shown after a raise got through uncontested was queens about 10mins previous. UTG+1 villain limps. In mid position i look down at Qd Qs and make it 1000. All fold to villain who calls. Flop 2s 6c 9d Villain checks - i make it 1200, villain calls. Turn 8s Villain checks again, i make it 3000, villain calls. River 6d Villain pushes for 8k What should i do? Title: Re: QQ faced with an all-in...... Post by: AndrewT on January 30, 2009, 11:08:22 AM The only possible draw he calls with on flop is 78, which picks up a pair on the turn, which might lead him to have a look at the river, which he misses, so pushes.
He could possibly have a nine (A9, possibly T9 or 89). JJ and TT raise somehere before now. Those are the only hands you beat - the question is would he play a set this passively? Would a set check-call turn - wouldn't it try to raise here? My initial thought was 'it's a set', but I'm now leaning more towards 78, so I say call. Title: Re: QQ faced with an all-in......

Peter Wood ugh so it's possible he has called 2 streets with just the 6, or indeed a set, tough spot i think i would call though. He is a bit of a tellbox though so would be looking for any clue in his body language. Title: Re: QQ faced with an all-in......

Perhaps charge a bit more pf, but that doesn't alter the hand obv. I think I call, because out of position a set might well raise the turn seeing as it's a little drawey. Therefore I'd suggest he has a hand including the 6, or you're good. Title: Re: QQ faced with an all-in...... Post by: Matt50 on January 30, 2009, 11:09:44 PM Well i thought about it for a while - couldnt get any reads off oppo.
In the end i called. I figured that a set would have check raised me all in earlier and i put him on a flush draw A7 s etc. Anyway, floppy was right - he turned over 6s 7s He did say after that he was going to shove whatever the river...... |
