£100, live tourney at Luton.

9 Left everyone in the money as savers have been done, average stack 35k, I have 42000. Blinds 800/1600/100. I'm in mid position with  Js Jh and raise to 4k. Button, who is tight aggressive, announces raise, and makes it 10k, but it goes in as a string bet, and the dealer declares it a raise to 8k. He has around 20k back. Back to me.

Shove or call?

Shove.

Very quickly.

he has  Ahrt 2c

disagree

Tank- then shove

never shove or call. its shove or fold. can find a fold here against some people but most time im shipping jacks here.

string shove

He has  9h  9d.

Shove.

Put all your chips in the middle of the table

Yeah we all know that.

How do you put them in though? That's the important bit.

I'm prob getting them in but to be honest I don't like it as much as everyone else seems to be suggesting. Online it's a one hand in the air job.

People tend to play pretty tight live once they make the final. Obviously if it's Alex Martin 3-betting us I'm fistpumping it in but I don't like this so much. I'd expect a straight up 3-bet shove from 99,1010 and AK but this 3-bet size with his stack back looks to me like he has a monster and he wants it paying.

He describes the button as a tight aggressive player. I probably fall into this category myself (tho i've been experimenting with a looser play style recently). TAG players are certainly capable of making moves, especially in position.

Had he described the button player as tight passive, or weak, etc, then I might be more inclined to be worried. Given he's been described as TAG though I assume the OP gives him game a certain amount of credit. Against this player I'm shipping jacks with one hand in the air. TAG players get away with murder. Being uncomfortable getting jacks in against them against a 3bet is an indication of how much they can get away with.

Didn't read the OP properly.

Yeah if he's aggro you have no choice really but to get this in. I still don't like the 3-bet size and don't think he'll be 3-betting light just because he's aggro with only 20k back.

Nice angle-fumble with rockets IMO.

Put them in Teddy KGB style OBV!!

FML. I think I start playing the loosest-most stupid poker ever.


Agree with this. He might still have AK, but any pocket pair you're beating, he's either shoving or folding I reckon.

so Vinny wot happened in this hand?

wait for results please mugra :P

fwiw i think this is a spot where live players are super polarised and we can exploit his betsizing fkup a little. Their value 3b range is far narrower than a decent online players (who probs ships 77+/A10s+/KQo+ for value). In these specific spots i dont mind calling and seeing a non- Ace flop before check calling his jam, i think they are almost never 3betting light and always have 1010+/AQ/AK.

really player dependant also

Called, got it in on a 7 high flop and lost to 99. If I shove pre he calls he told me the week after. So was snookered whatever way I played it. Good to know.

I also call here. And then fold if one overcard comes out. Or if it comes two tens or two eights.
