Title: Blind on Blind advice please. Post by: Tuffster on May 07, 2008, 07:44:03 PM Hi guys, I'm after some general advice when BvB.
I've been getting crappy Aces quite a lot on the SB recently and wondered what the best way to play them is? In most cases when I raise the BB calls feeling I'm at-it (fair enough) and when the ace doesn't come (no surprise there, only 3 left) I inevitably fold and lose my raise. If I just call they never believe me if an Ace does hit (fair enough, I'd probably be the same) and call me down to the river with 2nd pair and on a good amount of times hit a second pair and out-draw me. I've found myself folding quite a few of these as I (probably wrongly) believe that at my standard not losing the extra cash/chips is better for me in the long run. This is definitely an area that I don't play well at all. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers Title: Re: Blind on Blind advice please.

If you have 12bbs of less I would shove any ace from the sb in an unopened pot its inexploitable (meaning that it is +ev no matter what the calling range of villain). With more than this it get read dependent, i will often limp in against weak passive opponents. Against strong post flop (though this is relative as hardly plays particualarly well postflop in sngs) i will just dump them. Title: Re: Blind on Blind advice please.

Yep mainly SnG's, love playing longer (deeper) MTT's but seldom have the time and have yet to really dip my toe into the world of cash. I think I really need to "grow a pair" when it comes to raggy aces as even if I'm (relatively) short-stacked just can't seem to push with A6 even if it IS soooooted. Cheers |
