this guy was a solid TAG player - did not seem to be making moves without hands.

his reraise was INSTA and so i put him on anything from 2 pair to trips or a made straight.

I had 4.5k left (avg 5.3k at the time) and would be in still be in ok shape if i folded.

Are chips saved worth more than chips won?

In fact should i have reraised pre flop?

he won't have a made straight here or 2 pair..his flatcall of 2 raises pre flop pretty much rules that out. At worst he will have aces or kings or AK of diamonds.

It's a call for me..understand why you didn't push pre-flop but on the flop your chips have to go in.

Would've pushed PF.

Given that you haven't, you are faced with the probability that no_trust....  has a PP, given his actions pre, and post flop.

Unless there is prior knowledge that puts him on a particular hand, such as a set (i.e. easy fold), need to look at his range / value of each holding.

It is probable / possible he would make this move with any pair 55 - JJ.

Against a set you are <10% (3 chances)
Against a JJ/TT 90% or better (2 chances)
Against 99 about 75% (1 chance)
Against 66 about 60% (1 chance).
(odds v. approx).

Therefore its about 50% you will win side pot if you call (11,660 chips).
Given that you will also win main pot (5130 chips) a fair amount of the time that you take the side pot, you will average around 7,000 chips if you call.

Stacked against 4,780 you are left with if you fold, then it's a call.

I think a push pre-flop is pointless. If you push then everyone folds (probably) and all you make is the blinds.

I bigger pf-raise to 5xBB or 6xBB should be enough here...you'll still get the action you want but it'll force out the smaller hands. 'no_trust4you' doesn't re-raise so I'm thinking that I'm in front here.

On the flop, your bet is, I feel, too weak. Given that you have a player still to act behind you, I think that THIS is where you shove. You got pretty much the flop you wanted, get your chips in.

This action puts 'no_trust4you' in a real spot unless he has hit trips or the made straight, in which case he's getting your money anyway. Holding anything other than those hands, he folds for sure. As it was, he put YOU to the decision and forced you out.

All that said, I think 'no_trust4you' is still gonna call your push because he has so many outs.

My SB worth.

Spot off.

Take the shortie on for his 1500.

He did, but played it weak (twice) and let someone force him off the hand.

If he shoves over the top of the shortie pre-flop, he isolates and takes it down. If the guy behind him has AA or KK, so be it.

THIS is the primary point here. If you're gonna call with QQ to get a flop without an A or K, what are you waiting for?

if i flat call this preflop i'm only doing so because i put the TAG on a smaller PP than me. so i've got to call on the flop taking the risk that he's made a set. but i think it's a standard shove pre though. TAG might even call occassionally.

When he calls the shortie, pre-flop, the TAG has not yet acted...so he can't put him on anything!

As I said, a shove over the shortie knocks the TAG out of the running!

Post-flop he again gives the TAG value by not pushing...TAG has LOTS of outs and would probably call but at the very least he's going to stop and think!.

When you refer to a 'standard shove pre' do you mean instead of the 3xBB bet or after shorties shove?

The former is, as I said, pointless..if the latter then we agree.

you may put the TAG on a smaller PP after he flat calls your raise. if we shove after the shortie does so then the TAG may come along. if he doesn't. big deal you saved yourself what would be a horrible situation on the flop if a K or A comes down.
