Title: WCOOP - 8 Max - Facing cold 5b with JJ Post by: OverTheBorder on September 30, 2013, 12:31:35 PM Found some fairly interesting spots in the 8 max yesterday, mainly cause by player to my right having a massive stack and min opening 70% of hands.
Effective Stacks: Villain 1 (UTG) - 90k Hero (UTG+1) - 40k Villain 2 (UTG+2) - 42k Villain 3 (Cut off) - 17k Blinds are 350/700, average around 25k. History - Villain 1 is raising practically every hand, myself and villain 2 are the only players playing back at him really. I have 3b his opens at least 7-8 times, only showed down the goods although not been to showdown much. 5 hands previous, Villain 1 has opened, I have 3b, villain 2 has 4b, villain 1 folds, and I 5b shove to which villain tank folds. The hand: Villain 1 min opens to 1400, I 3b to 2900 with Jd Jh, villain 2 4b to 5400, villain 3 jams for 17k (ish), villain 1 folds what we going to do here? I think without history it is a trivial fold as JJ never in great shape against a cold 5, but as villain 1 has a huge range, my 3b range is likely to be perceived as wide in view of table history, and villain 2 has already 4b folded, seems hyper aggro and has a blank OPR. Fold? or ISO shove?

I don't mind 3betting initially though.

Seemed pretty bad to just keep peeling along to his min opens, as he can put all kinds of pressure on with his stack down the streets. I literally had no chances to open myself as he took them all from me. When peeling the open, the other competent players are far more likely to 3b due to the fact that he is playing 70% of hands. This happened when players peeled his raises on multiple occassions. I was 3b him with A9s+ 77+ K10s+ assuming I had positon. My normal 3b range is a lot tighter than that. He was folding to practically ever one of them. Title: Re: WCOOP - 8 Max - Facing cold 5b with JJ Post by: pleno1 on September 30, 2013, 01:22:50 PM That's not a good 3bet range if he folds to every 3bet. Flatmallmof them and just 3bet bluffs. You have a strong actual range so it doesn't matter if he barrels you a lot you cover almost every board
Title: Re: WCOOP - 8 Max - Facing cold 5b with JJ Post by: The Squid on October 04, 2013, 01:47:03 PM We should fold Jacks to the 5 bet and what pleno said in terms of your 3-bet range is correct.

Like Pleno said, if he is folding to a lot fo 3bets, it doesn't make any sense to have JJ in your 3betting range, just peel and induce spews behind/post flops spews and 3bet loads of bluffs.

Agree with the getting action policy but were not narrowing his range here pre so he's going to test us on a lot of boards with JJ here?

We have a really good hand here, we quite welcome aggression, it adds value to our call.

My point is though this guy will barrel any draw/pair/two pair hands so if the drops Q67 the over could always be scary i just think he's going to barrel a lot and were going to get caught out personal opinion though |
