Title: What would you do?? Post by: mckelinho on June 10, 2009, 11:36:01 AM Paddy Power Charity Open, 2000 player shootout, made it to final day 40 player MMT.
Starting 15,000 (100/200 1/2 hours blinds) Just over 1 hour in, stack 22,000 blinds 300/600 Hero UTG with Qd Qh raise it to makes it 2150, folded round to villian on button who makes it 6000 (of 15,000 stack) Up to now hero has represented a strong player, villian also strong, only played half a dozen hands, all in LP and always raising 3-3.5x Opinions? Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: kukushkin88 on June 10, 2009, 11:49:14 AM He can't realistically fold now and your way ahead of his range,easy shove.
Decent players 3 bet utg raises very wide these days. Title: Re: What would you do??

Post by: mckelinho on June 10, 2009, 11:55:27 AM I know it may seem an obvious shove to many. Just wanted to see what people say.
I had represented myself as a very strong player thus far and when i raise UTG he knows i have a very strong hand so what was going through my head was "Why would he commit himself as there's no way he is folding here" i was puting him on a small range Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: doubleup on June 10, 2009, 12:06:59 PM I think this depends a bit on the standard of the other players in the tournament. The nature of the event was likely to attract a very weak field and I would assume that some of these players made it through to the final day. If this was the case, I don't think a fold is very bad. Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: mckelinho on June 10, 2009, 12:19:28 PM Yeah, there were weak players to begin but the tourney was play 1st table, top 2 go through, play 2nd table only 1st goes through to final day.
So there was few bad players in final, still 2 or 3 never the less. Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: cambo on June 10, 2009, 12:21:29 PM £12 crap shoot obv theres bad players in it lol
Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: mckelinho on June 10, 2009, 12:24:36 PM Was no crap shoot. There was prob 3 bad players per table in the final but outwith them poker in the final was of a good standard

Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: mckelinho on June 10, 2009, 01:04:39 PM Any way i was just checking.
I raised him all in, he called after about 2 mins (to my delight) and he had JJ knocked him out and finished 7th Title: Re: What would you do??

Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: mckelinho on June 10, 2009, 04:08:27 PM MMmm, so you think 2.5 x big blind raise was too big?
Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: MC on June 10, 2009, 04:18:19 PM MMmm, so you think 2.5 x big blind raise was too big? you raised it 3.5x standard shove... Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: gatso on June 10, 2009, 04:44:44 PM MMmm, so you think 2.5 x big blind raise was too big? 2.5x would be perfect had you done that Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: mckelinho on June 10, 2009, 04:54:33 PM Cheers for your tips guys. By saying 2.5x raise i meant 2.5 on top of the blind. I knew it was 3.5 x total. Not sure about wording hahah
cheers Gatso Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: Royal Flush on June 10, 2009, 11:32:53 PM This thread gave me a headache.
Title: Re: What would you do?? Post by: Royal Flush on June 10, 2009, 11:34:18 PM There was prob 3 bad players per table in the final but outwith them poker in the final was of a good standard Sounds like it with one guy opening 3.5bb utg with QQ then not knowing what to do when 3bet, and another guy 3 betting to 40% of his stack and then tanking. |
