So due to the big stack behind am i suppose to call the all in and fold to the overshove?? Or is isolating with this hand the best play and i was just unlucky to run into a hand?

Probably just fold

for real?

Yuh, think I would from this position

I maybe wouldn't go as far as to say I would rather cut my dick off and throw that away, but I defo iso here as long as the shover isn't a complete nit.

were re-shoving the hijack right? so would you just outright fold 10's here in the same way?

I think a shove here is the best play... Kinda the worst possible outcome for you, but I think you played it correct.


How bad can a fold be though guys?

I doubt he would open shove 50bbs from hijack, if that's any help

 

Ran some numbers (cEV) for this bad boy.

I assumed that all opps overcall with AQs+ and JJ+.

If OR shoves 16% (22+,A4s+,A8o+,KTs+,KQo) we would net:

If OR only shoves 10% (55+,A8s+,ATo+,KQs) we would net:

I just ROFL around so don't understand any of this - what does it mean, if it's easy for you to explain concisely

Basically you plug in all the ranges, and it works out how much equity you have in each situation.  Situation 1 takes into account that OR shoves 16% of hands, assuming that all opps will overcall AQs+ JJ+, we will net 13,017 chips on average from this situation.  That red table shows all the profitable iso hands in blue, and all the unprofitable iso hands in red, along with how many chips you will gain / lose on average.

I would add as well that this in only cEV, and doesn't really take into account the full picture.

Cheers, not a massive mistake (assuming we're not in these positions 500 times a day) to drop the bottom end of our +ev calling range ?

It's an edge big enough for me to take every time.  Especially if I know the shover is capable of shoving wide.  A 3.25bb gain vs a 14bb stack is pretty substantial, not only that, we still have plenty to work with even if we lose.  Obviously this doesn't take into account getting called behind, but this will only happen roughly 1 in 10.

In summary, if I know the shover to be capable of shoving 16% of hands, I'm fist pumping in my hoody.

Appreciate you taking the time, thanks

hmmm the overall situation gets you from 50bbs to 53bbs, surely?    Is that a big enough £ev edge?  The chips you win here are surely less valuable than the ones you lose?

Definitely jam. With your hand in the air.

People probably don't call off AQs behind all the time, might get some folds from AK and JJ too, whilst conversely getting some calls from 88 and 99, especially in this comp.
