blonde poker forum

im 6th out of 9 not been super loose but picking my spots.

got little experience in bigger stakes final tables, this is the reason im asking.
 
only been at the table for an orbit or so, so not much reads.

blinds are 5k 10k with 1k antes

well it gets folded to me on the button playing 150k
sb - jsbryan has 210k
bb - rebellz has 108k



I have a2

its either shove or fold right

the hand got me thinking whilst i was trying to get to sleep but what would u do?

hard to give a good answer with the information provided. Other stacks at the table? ANY read on the blinds at all? there screen names?

Is it shove or fold though?  If you have no intention of folding just open shove.  Is opening for 23k then folding to a reraise terribly bad?

Also how big are the antes?

Raise folding is terrible, its a sixth of your stack.

Assuming the antes are 1k its a clear shove.

im my gfs laptop
so didnt save the handhistory
but from what i remember

Rebellz is in the bb
and jsbryan is in the sb

1k antes

Listen to the clown

Missed you bold one.  :-*

$24k in the pot so shoving looks fine to me. I presume you are past the bubble which will influence how people might play. You need to consider the impact on players. Are they looking to win or move up the pay scale.

i did push but dunno if it was the right move

It completely and utterly is a frickin straight forward shove Paul Ho you ex gardening tool wanna be.

M=6.25

Personally I shove abs my entire range if I was ever so fucking lucky to have it folded to me on the button.

this comp plays pretty shallow at final iirc. I only asked for other stacks and villains because often ur have a ladder op vs a 4bb stack or sumink. Probably shoving, JSbryan is decent and will correct, dont know other guy. But yeh raise fold is just beyond terrible.

24k in the pot, we have 150k. Blinds are effective 8/16k, we have less than 10bbs. We also have an ace on the button, this is always a push the blinds are pretty irrelevant, no matter how wide or loose they call it is always going to be a good shove.

Paul you really should know this as a 90man grinder.

not too sure if i should play a 50$ tourney the same way i play a 3$ tourney.

i would 100% shove this in a 3$

maybe i should have a 100% mind set on winning regardless of what tourney i play in. And having a eye on the money doesnt help as winning 2k+ is still pretty significant for me  :)

I think this is close. I may fold a shitty ace otb.

i mean if your playing these stakes regurlaly then its a shove.
If your taking a shot and there are a few very short stacks then a fold is ok.
if the blinds are total nits then minraise fold isnt entirely awful. Im always shoving here

Just a general question on themes discussed in this thread.  How big does our stack need to be for raise/folding not to be terrible.  So at what stack size can we open raise and fold to a 3 bet?

Say 400k, put dont forget that SB and BB need similar stacks?

In this instance raise folding to the bb who has 10.8bb is bad IMO. (considering our stack).
But in general i dont think rules should be set, (i.e i wont raise fold to a 10bb stack, or i must shove that hand with 15bb etc). A ton of things affect shoving ranges, raise folding ranges and raise calling ranges.  Like, raise calling a 20bb shove with A8o would of been unheard of not so long ago, but is a pretty standard snap in a ton of spots now (usually with reads and / or history). As trigg said above sometimes raise folding to nits who are shoving 10bb CAN BE ok but having notes is so VITAL when ur regging mtt's online. The notes should not only contain ur read on opponent, but also what there likely read is on you, i.e if u spazzed to them in the past then use that to ur advantage.

stick the kettle on marc

Talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.

at least ur amusing urself

You payed everybody back yet u grimming toerag?

yeh nice response good looking.

Btw this was a shot don't think I will be playing this reg

Although I did find it pretty soft
 

yeh the $50 fo is one of the softer dailys, also recommend the 4pm $75 tilt and stars 2pm $109

Please don't let Girgy put you off.

I really don't care about your personal life if your responses are good which this one clearly is.

Fwiw I'd rather read PHA posts from a grimmer who knows what they're doing than from a bloke who finds it amusing to post pictures of his own shit.

Railtards posts have much more merit in this thread than Girgy's imo.

I had a bad past with Marc, but can't dispute his poker. Very good player and be a shame if he's put off posting. Also think he is a nice guy deep down, second chance imo :)

couldnt give a shit what railtard1 has done, pls continue to post on PHA.

As for the hand, i dont mind either the shove or the fold, seeing as your taking a shot, i probs lean more towards a fold

100% this.
