Title: small pairs with about 20 Bigs? Post by: Amatay on September 05, 2013, 05:28:46 PM 22-66
Say you have an awkward ish stack. 18-20 ish bigs. How do u play these hands in ep/mp. Just saw someone EPT Barca limp jam 21 bigs utg with 44. The isolater tanked forever and called with a9 and 44 held. It got me thinking. Sometimes i just fold, sometimes i end up opening and c-bet fold and do chips when i didnt start with many. What do you do? I know it sometimes depends on stage of tourn and table? Is limp jam a gd play? Title: Re: small pairs with about 20 Bigs?

Guessing it was from this? Edit: Be helpful too, just folding from EP Title: Re: small pairs with about 20 Bigs? Post by: cambridgealex on September 05, 2013, 05:55:28 PM Usually folding pre, and jamming btn or cutoff

Title: Re: small pairs with about 20 Bigs? Post by: Oxford_HRV on September 05, 2013, 06:38:33 PM depends if you want to flip a ton of the time, just presuming 1/7 opens is a pair and the rest you are flipping with plus the FE of limp jamming to collect a few chips its not really that bad.
Title: Re: small pairs with about 20 Bigs? Post by: theprawnidentity on September 05, 2013, 06:54:27 PM EP folding. MP might be doing something depending on players behind. LP defo doing something depending on players behind.
Oh, and this: dont think id ever jam hj with 20bbs with any hand. Title: Re: small pairs with about 20 Bigs? Post by: Pinchop73 on September 05, 2013, 07:39:24 PM Fwiw I think she limped the button off circa 22bb into an aggro Romanian big stack in the sb, which I feel is a really nice play as he can't jam with a 30bb big blind sat behind him, but he will raise extremely wide, which means the jam gets through so often. A very popular move nowadays, and as pleno says extremely spewy to open jam it. As it played out he probs would have snapped a jam off with his A9o, but its clear that his decision to call it off was agonising. You can make this play profitably a lot wider than small pairs too.
From ep its an easy open fold |
