Title: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: TightEnd on June 22, 2011, 12:51:55 PM
6 left on the final of a Live MTT

All in the money

500,350,240,140,100,80 are the payouts

587k in play

We are in the big blind at 3-6k/500 and 80,000

UTG playing 65,000 shoves

Experienced and aware player, just been bad-beated down from 180,000

Small blind playing 75,000 calls.

What makes this interesting is the small blind is a complete newbie and makes lots of unorthodox calls (rarely raises)

We look at  9h 9s

We pass


they turn over.....



thoughts on the pass. Standard

as long as you folded face down and kept it to yourself then fine. could easily have the best hand here but 3 way you aint massive fav. only concern is with all crap shoots like these is are you gonna get a better spot.

other stack sizes? next blind level/when is it going up? SB snap call or tank?

Probs a fold, equity is pretty bad 3 way!

Shover AJ
caller difficult to say given your reads, but if it involves overs, your not in good shape

Probably fold here but I wouldn't tell anyone

I would shove and pray for a treble up as there isn't a good money jump till 4-3 it might be your best spot to put yourself in  with a winning chance

Where is/are the other stack(s) and how much do they have?

You might be ahead here, but it's a pretty easy fold given ICM considerations etc. I'd much and not think twice about it.

3 big stacks, then us three in this hand

next blinds are 4-8k in 10 minutes time

sb quick think, then acts


my concern in folding was equity versus probably 3 overcards, if I am lucky two overs in one spot and an underpair in the other..but felt overs more likely

Post by: TightEnd on June 22, 2011, 02:25:09 PM
Other three stacks 150k, 120k, 120k ish

Pretty easy fold.

I probably call though just for japes.

I can't read. :(

Other three stacks 150k, 120k, 120k ish

Nobody is deep enough that it makes this a call. You're one double up from the chip lead. Its an auto-fold without thinking about it.

Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: MC on June 22, 2011, 04:45:32 PM
Yeah fold, but must be fairly close as I'm jamming TT methinks


Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?

Getting around 2-1 for a 6/4 shot I am still edging on trying for the win and shoving

A lot of live players see any pair and call as they know they are beating AK, so I would remove jto hands but factor 22+

Factor in ICM and it's a fold with these numbers, also, I know Tightend said complete newb but JTos?

100% agree. I don't even think it's that close. Just fold and look for the next spot.

Definitely think you've given him too wide a range in that hand outrageous.


Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: MC on June 22, 2011, 05:22:06 PM
Sigh, deleted post but got quoted :)

Wanted to ask Guy who was Hand 1 and who was Hand 2, thought I might have got it the wrong way round


Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: pleno1 on June 22, 2011, 05:43:44 PM
wtf? obv guy meant the last guy  was the guy jamming, hero was guy 1 and 2nd guy was sb?

way hay...thats gotta be the best book/session ever.....i heard you say as soon as you get KK the first thing you think is someones got AA or they are gonna crack you. love the positive mental attitude now george


Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: outragous76 on June 22, 2011, 06:27:37 PM
obv should have clarified

Tighty has 99 (didnt think that needed clarifying)

Original raiser/shover has all pairs and AT+

caller (very much based on tightys description) has 77+ and I included all connected broadways incl JT as they "look pretty"

What makes this interesting is the small blind is a complete newbie and makes lots of unorthodox calls (rarely raises)



re my range

Seemed the most likely but the ranges for SB could potentially have been either Guy 1 or Guy 2

re my range

Much wider i think Guy, 99 is a call here for me.

10 bigs with an ante 6 handed are we putting UTG shove at 22-JJ ATo+ ATs+

i am sure alot of players on this forum are shoving much wider it seems very nitty

as we dont know when we will next get a chance to open shove to steal with equity if called

wider is immaterial as it will only improve tightys equity in the spot

This is a live donkament, peoples shoving ranges are much tighter than you seem to think.

Probably fold here but I wouldn't tell anyone

yh id make sure one 9 flipped over and tell everyone i had 97suited.


Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: TommyD on June 22, 2011, 11:29:33 PM
More than likely totally wrong but I think I put my stack in here.  Payouts are similar down the bottom and if we fold it's more than likely it'll be four big stacks versus us as a shorty and depending on the winner one guy with a bowl or no one else.  This might be a spot we have to risk in order to win the tourney as it's a chance to virtually triple.


Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: Junior Senior on June 23, 2011, 12:35:03 AM
Call.. The shoved has AQ and the caller AK.


Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: TightEnd on June 23, 2011, 01:38:02 PM
thanks all

UTG Shover, KQo

SB called KJo

result immaterial (though I passed pre)

suits included, 99 was a 46% shot when I ran it through the calculator

Does calling all-in at this live FT and hoping for 30-35% equity represent your best chance of success? If you feel it does then ok. But if you feel your ability in this short hand situation is superior to various tez players I don't think you should make the decision to plain gambol.


Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: ryecarr01 on June 30, 2011, 08:04:24 PM
just out of interest...

putting ourselves in TightEnds spot, whats the very bottom of our range that we are shoving with here??


Title: Re: Nein to Nine Nine?
Post by: Cf on June 30, 2011, 11:50:24 PM
UTGs range may be wider than normal too as he had just been bad beated. He could easily be tilting.
