Title: 1st of two hand check up's. Post by: Killing Joke on February 25, 2011, 11:29:37 AM I have returned to live poker after 7 years away.
Live mtt 10 rebuy. , 60 runners. £750 for winner. 14 left, two tables. 3K- 1.5K blinds. Have 26k chips. 35K average. I'm SB. UTG 20k seems like he's decided to make some moves over last few orbits. Raises 8k. Button 22K (good TAG scouser) long thinks and calls, the call seemed out of character. Me 8h 8s I felt regardless of flop both would not release hand. I am very interested in why you would take the action you would have done. My brain is so rusty. Thanks. Title: Re: 1st of two hand check up's.

Post by: kinboshi on February 25, 2011, 12:46:02 PM If the button wasn't involved, it's a shove for me. But with the button's flat call, I don't really fancy my 8's being any good - so fold.

I would do a fold here and shove lots of pots that are unopened. Title: Re: 1st of two hand check up's. Post by: stato_1 on February 25, 2011, 02:37:58 PM fold. good game selection tho.

Post by: Killing Joke on February 26, 2011, 11:46:31 AM OK thanks for that, I was expecting SHOVE SHOVE SHOVE . I did fold. Raiser has Ahrt 2s, Tag had called with Ks 9s.
They missed board, which contained a flopped 8c. They were all in by end. Maybe the TAG knew the call would fox me and lead me to fold, maybe he had spotted a tell that I had a pair? I had told the raiser on a previous orbit I would call raises with pairs. Cheers for your input. Title: Re: 1st of two hand check up's.
