Title: Sky Poker Sat
Post by: Doobs on March 17, 2012, 11:13:26 AM
We are playing a £240 sat for the £1100 Vegas final.

5 seats are available and there are 9 left.  We are chip leader with just over 9K chips.  Blinds are 200/400.  The player two to my right has just doubled up and has slightly less than me, maybe a couple of hundred chips less.  Everyone else has 4 or 5k.  I think the other table has one on around 7 and the rest on 4k or so.  I have no idea how that is playing.

All 3 players to our left have made what look like pretty bad satelite calls to me.  All 3 seem to be in gambling mode.  The calls made were: The player on my left called a SB shove (me) with K9s when he had A7 off.  I had about 9k and he had 4k.  I lost.  The player 2 to my left called with K7 off for half his chips in the BB to a 10 BB button shove with QJs (me).  I assume he noted my K9s shove??  I won.  The other bad call was a min raise call for two thirds of his chips with KQ off (the sky 3 bet range is not the same as a stars 3 bet range!)  The player on my right has shoved every unopened SB for some time.  K7 off is the player with 9k chips.

We get AK off UTG.  Is this a straightforward shove given the calling tendencies and this is a sat?
