???

not much of a headscratcher imo, just fold

ye this lol 300bb brah

not like hes doing this with AA very often...

ive seen it done for 100bbs randomly a few times... and tbh most of them (if not all) were on a friday and have been AK all the way down to 106o...

ever call here??

No; you have nothing to gain and everything to lose.

In cash games I have called 100bb and more 3 times at various stakes up to one memorable incident at 2/5 and been shown AA (I remember these three times specifically as I happened to have KK).

Still if he has any pair you are a dog, and chopping vs AKo and losing to AK sooted.

There is no money in the pot, why would you want to call 280bb to be chopping the blinds  at best most of the time?

If he has done it a few times or been totally mental in general then that would change things but you mentioned nothing about his style/image.

Call

you can "exploit" this guy buy calling AA and folding everything else here, if you wanna crush him for doing this.

why? plz expand

cmon, give stats/what you have recently seen. this could be a supersnap or a fast fold.

readless... no notes... never seen before... (normally means 'new' as I make a lot of notes)


Ive only called 100bb open shoves in the past when ive had a range of 10's+/ AK and so far only run into AA once out of 10-20 occurrences (that ive called).  Most have been A6o/ 105o hands where someone is showing their mates... "look at this... lol"

I even make notes when ive done something weird and someone has seen it, nothing in this instance.

You have this "Friday night play is always very bad" fixation John. Do you have credible evidence to back that up?

I think it's pretty much an old wives tale.

I'd agree that games on a fridayand Saturday are much better than during the week games.

Ps, not just online, but live too.

the player pool on zoom at 10nl and 25nl averages 315-450 most nights....iirc
fridays seem to average 600+.


I obviously have the same gamblers style memory as everyone else but im sure the biggest pots, strangest things and games run longest always on a friday.

Ive got a few cash game professional friends in poker and all of them, independent of one another have told me how they rate games on a friday over any other day, pleno1 included.

could be an interesting discussion to ask people on here with hand tracking information to do a couple of quick filters to look at play/day; results/session/day; potsize/day type things.....

ive only got 400k hands to look at but some people will have millions.

.... fair point tho TK.  Oh and congrats on Vegas sir, I hear you're having a fun and successful time.

I just think you should clear your head of all this Fridays/Frenchies/this & that are soft stuff, & just get back to basics. If there IS a difference, it is so marginal as to be inconsequental. IMO, of course.

Thanks for the congrats, yes, am having a fun time, and winning. Thrilled to bits for my backers, more than anything.

Its not like I do too much different
"Because he is from france"
"Because its friday"
"Because he has a man utd badge"

However, there are certain things, combinations of things that might help me lean one way or other in a certain spot.

And when a big decision is close imo I try to lean toward a fold these days because folding and not knowing affects my mentality and overall game much less than either
- being right and still losing.
- being completely wrong and giving away a buyin.

BUT... on a friday, because of what I've seen, done and experienced I would definitely agree that where I might normally fold:call a close decision with a ration of 70:30 it probably starts to swerve a little the other way to make it more 40:60.

Both biggest winning and losing days have been on a friday... I would say I 'think' that people are prepared to play bigger pots on a friday evening... esp compared to say, wed lunchtime....

Way too complicated......

More drunks and randoms play Friday and Saturday.

Same with the end of the month, the games seem better after the recs have been paid and want to spend some time playing cards.

Just my experience.

This is factully true, & can easily be proven.

However, I would contend that the ability difference between a Friday, and, say, a Saturday, is so negligible at the recreational level as to make no difference.

You play mostly at weekends, yeah?

Being a Friday is a reason to play not,a reason to call.
Or if your evil pie a reason not to play

Pretty easy fold here mate, tooooo many BB's.

How often do you get a chance to get in AK vs a range we likely are 60/40 most of the time and occasionally dominate.
We're rarely dominated and even if we put AKo vs random we're 65/35 but I think that's probably a little optimistic.

lol to say the least. Disagree were "never" dominated too. I would say were never dominatING

I wouldn't. Agree with JB!

Though they do have AA/KK here a non-zero %

 ;ifm;

note the bold.


I have played a lot of hands at small stakes and from my experience I have found
62/345000


I have called with AKx4 and A8ddx1 (no idea why), I've folded 1x AKo, 1x77 and 1x55 and all the rest of the junk.
I'll have a closer look later at the days and see if there is any particular pattern.


However with the following hands I had the following equity preflop:
Aspades Kc - 44.8%
Ad 8d - 29.4                (vs K10dd OR for 100bb and QQ behind for 30bb)
Ac Qh - 68.8
Aspades Ks - 67.6
Ahrt Kc - 74.0


Of the hands I didn't call but saw the showdown -
Qd Td
9d 9h
Ad Qc
2c 7h     (he posts UTG then open shoves)



So I'm afraid the numbers suggest that actually AK not only becomes a call, but a pretty happy one.
Didn't take me long, how about someone else looks at the their database.....?
- Add filter 'hero facing 1 raise'
- Add filter 'raise size is greater than 90bbs'

However I would happily agree that if we have either raised or there was a raise and someone 3bt shoves 100bb+ then I would be much more comfortable folding.
