Title: A simpler decision......... Post by: TightEnd on March 03, 2005, 01:30:54 PM you have 10,000 chips, blinds are 600-1200. second shortest stack, eight handed.
you are first to act you pick up pocket 10s, both black suited you raise the pot, it being PLHE You get one caller after a long dwell, who has about 20,000 chips. Solid player. Likely to have a strong hand. The flop comes Ac 9h 3h You are first to act a) Check? b) All In? Thanks for the advice on the previous one........ Title: Re: A simpler decision......... Post by: AdamM on March 03, 2005, 01:47:29 PM Think I would be looking for a better spot than here. he has twice the chips you do and will probably put you in with rag Ace, flush draw or even a mid pair of his own. also if it's a flush draw your 10h is gone as an out (unless you make quads.
Pass Title: Re: A simpler decision......... Post by: julian on March 03, 2005, 03:05:37 PM i would have brought it in for about 3000, not the full pot which is 4200.
the tens are easier to get away from with less than a third of your stack committed. but with 4200 plus another 4200 & 1800 in blinds, your getting a good price to fire your second, & last barrel. not a great spot, but you do have first to speak/represent position & who knows, maybe this guy can pass a marginal ace.... Title: Re: A simpler decision......... Post by: gandolf on March 04, 2005, 03:50:45 AM the guy wont call that bet pre flop with a marginal ace and then fold if he hits his Ace
your only hope is that he had a hand like Qk or KJ. Title: Re: A simpler decision......... Post by: UpTheMariners on December 31, 2006, 05:15:49 AM check

Post by: Indestructable on December 31, 2006, 11:00:19 AM No idea what happened!!
We have waited two years for answer, can't you make one up? :)up Title: Re: A simpler decision......... Post by: TightEnd on December 31, 2006, 11:23:48 AM ok, I pushed, he passed
the fact I posted probably means I pushed he showed A rag when he called.... Title: Re: A simpler decision......... Post by: way_too_tight on December 31, 2006, 02:29:44 PM I think you push based on who you're playing and your likely table image.
If the guy is a strong player then he's not going to have called you with a weak ace. If he has a strong ace then why hasn't he put you in right there ? You're both short enough for the initial pot to be well worth winning. My guess would be he has some marginal pocket pair and wants to see a flop without an ace before getting the rest in. He'll also very likely believe that you have the ace, as you've tended to have a tight image when I've played you. Title: Re: A simpler decision......... Post by: DesD on December 31, 2006, 04:02:46 PM You get one caller after a long dwell, who has about 20,000 chips. If it took you a little under two years to act first after the flop, I'd like to know how LONG a "long dwell" preflop was...lol! |
