Title: AA UTG final table
Post by: acc2020 on May 25, 2011, 04:53:13 AM
£50 freezeout
73 players , 7 players left
7 get paid
Biggest stack 220k
2 small stacks approx 50k each

Blinds 3/6k/500ante

I'm UTG with  Aspades Ad ,100k, i limp to trap.
Passed round to the small blind 130k and big blind 90k who both flat call.
Flop is  9h Th Qd
Small blind bets 20k
Big blind flat calls

Back to me.I was going to re raise the small blind , however the flat call of the big blind got me thinking that one of them maybe had flopped a monster or was on a flush or straight draw, so i elect to pass.My thinking was that i will only lose one blind whereas flat calling or reraisng may get me beat.The real money is in the top 3 spots.

I know i played awful but ,can this fold be justified given the scaryness of the flop?
How would i best play this hand if i was below avarage stack?

As it turned out they both had queen jack the last 2 cards being blanks

I'd elect to play it differently

Why get fancy? Limping out of a sub 20 BB stack will set alarm bells off in even an average players head. Serves no purpose really... Just raise...

I fkn hate limp raising the one hole. Gtfo and play a more balanced range if you think your hands face up UTG

pretty ugh from the get go with 16bb.... as said no point in getting fancy here.

flop is pretty horrible with lots of obv draws but it also hits a lot of their 1 pair calling range..... i don't think the bb will flat with a big made hand for exact the same reason as you hate the board as too many horror cards come off on the turn for a flopped 2 pair or set..his most like drawing with the sb donk leading with a Q...reship and make em pay and stop hiding under the bed and play different pre

If you're setting a trap this shallow it doesn't matter what the flop is.

Just get it in and hope one of them has something good enough to call.

As played (horrible obv) you cant just assume you are behind here. I flat and shove any turn that doesnt make the 22,00 draws.

Limp pre probably isn't that bad in a live 50 freezeout, still don't do it though, minraise. Shove flop as played, you still have a pretty big hand, remembering that they both have blind hands. If you'd raised pre and they'd both called then this board hits them harder, although in that case the pot would be bigger so it would still be a shove.
