Title: Weird Aces spot in the DTD Super 50
Post by: JK on December 31, 2010, 05:55:28 PM
Early stages of the Super 50 at Dusk Till Dawn. Iv made myself quite short making a ridic bluff with 62o. This spot arises, and I was unsure of what to do...

Blinds 100/200
Hero has 4.6k, Average 12k

Villain opens to 675 UTG
Hero UTG+1 looks down at AA

Your action?

To players at this level, I dont think that a 3b jam would get paid very often. I dont think their thought process would be "he has a good 3b jamming stack", moreover that "its alot to call".

I think that they would, however, be able to see that Im 3betting out of a 20BB stack (maybe not at the same level most of others would).

Is flatting always our option here? End of the day, we have 20 bigs. I wasnt afraid to gamble now to get full value from my hand, so felt like flatting was my best option.

Thoughts?

flat stack off on most flops, go out and realise that the 62o play was probably worse than terrible.

It was a blind squeeze spot ffs! Then I decided I didnt want to lose the pot...

in order to analyse this hand properly, we're going to need the full HH from the 62o hand. Including all soulreads and thought processes.

I prefer to make it 1500 people at my level see this as weak and think you can fold if they shove

I don't like flatting pre. This pot is gonna get multi-way quite easily. We aren't going to fold the flop and there's a chance you won't get paid unless you get outflopped.

Problem we have is whatever we do looks strong. In these early levels though I prefer a 3b to 1500 or the like. Villain prob won't fold to it (most 3bs get called in early levels of dtd comps in my experience) and then we can get it in. Multiply the blinds/stacks by 10 w/ an ante and at that point in the tournament I think I like a jam.
