First 20 minutes of day two, we're itm, about 80 people left. 100euro buyin btw, 100k gtd.

Hero has just raise/called vs a 20bb stack hijack vs btn with AJ and lost the flip vs 55, now has 39bbs. Villain has 50bbs and is in the the cutoff. The stacks behind him are all 15-20bbs. We have 21 hands on villain he's 29/24/14.3.

Blinds 2.5k/5k

 Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with  XX playing 195k or 39bbs
1 fold, Sr Croissant raises to €10000.00, 2 folds, pkrstar1982 raises to €251388.00

JJ+ AK I think. Tens is the line for me

Thing is they show up with so much shit on .fr Sometimes it's even 66 when they make this mornic play

QQ+. Don't think he's doing this with AQ so his range looks a lot like JJ+ to me. Yeah people do some hilarious stuff but that's just as good a reason to stick around.

tl;dr: AK flipping at best.

agreed

if hes doing this with dumb shit, he will again and you can find a better spot than 99 or tt, if hes doing it with a somewhat tight range we should be foding a lot of hands...id find it tough to fold jj/ak but i suspect keys might be right with qq+, also a E100 buyin is probably quite soft so we dont need to be taking unneccesary spots with high variance.

Sorry to derail, but could someone explain what "29/24/14.3" means please?

Holdem Manager stats. That particular stat is the common first three stats on the software, relating to "Voluntarily put in pot/Pre Flop Raise/3 bet %"

29- VPIP- Voluntary enter the pot. So the villian is playing 29% of hands that Alex has on him

24- PFR- Pre flop raise. How often when he does enter he's raising (so he's entering most pots with a raise)

14.3- 3 bet % (how often villian 3 bets)

However Alex has very few hands on the opponent so this stats can sometimes be misleading. Someone who appears to be playing a lot of hands may just be on a card rush. More hands= more info hence why people buy hand histories.

Thanks.

Yeh cheers guys. I just write it down in PHA cos its what the online kidz do. No idea what they meant until now.

3 hands: QQ KK AA - otherwise its a clear edge-pass.

9 s+ AQs+

really? why/

Because his range is way wider than you all think given he has 20bb stacks behind him and he just ships on us. I might even call 88.

As me I definitely call 88, i mean as Alex i think 99+ AQs+ is about right- also a factor that he just lost a flip. Definitely widens villains range once he shoves and doesnt 3bc against us

Oh wow I just saw stacks I thought he had 3bet. Lol what?? How are people itt wanting to fold jj? Calling wayyyyyyy wider, similar to Dubai. Almost never has aq dominated and we can dominate him. 99 and aqs seems fine. Why does everybody want to play so right here? There's no icm consideratiod yet.

The thing that wasn't going through my mind as I was tanking (with AQo) was all the stuff I'd seen on that site. Unbelievable stuff-  people opening jamming 50bbs in a 50euro freezeout utg with K2o, People open jamming 25bbs with 66, A9 etc, 3b shoving 40bbs with K8 etc.

The 20bb stacks behind him, also made me more inclined to call.

Grunch: like tt+ and ak

didn't notice everyone else was short, yeah AQo is a tough spot, think I still fold tho given how often he has AK. 99/TT+ AK for me

I will go for a calling range of JJ+, AQ+
I think that, quite often, with QQ+ villian would just flat to either get squeezed or play in position against an opponent that  is possibly steaming a little from previous.
I do think that AQ is a very tough call, but, as stated above, i think that villian's likely range is weighted more towards pairs that AQ is in decent shape against, as well as AJ+
