Coventry GUKPT hands

[MC]

Hand 1.

Blinds are 500/1000 (100). Hijack who is a new player to the table and we assume a live-player donk open limps. Blatch isolates in the cutoff to 5.1k. We have 88 on the button with a ~70k stack. Blatch has ~45k, limper has ~30k.

Fold, call or 3-bet?

I think calling is a mistake because effective stacks aren't deep enough. I think it's okay to just fold here? Although we know he is capable of isolating here fairly wide, Blatch appears to have been playing good cards up to this point.

Anyway I call (oops). So does limper. Flop is K62 rainbow. It checks to us. We bet/check?

(if Blatch reads this, I said I had 99 but I liiiieddddd)


Hand 2.

2nd hand of Day Two (new starting table). 600/1200 (100), we have ~55k. We pick up 77 in the cutoff and open to 2800. The small blind, who we assume is a good young player, 3bets to 7400, with a similar stack, perhaps just having us covered.

Standard to just call here 3 bet a decent option?

Flop comes down Q35 rainbow. Villain leads for ~8.5k.

We call.

River brings the J. Villain dwells and moves all in. I obv fold, don't see a way around this, though I couldn't help thinking he might have KT.


Hand 3.

The same villain as in hand 2. We now realise villain is Toby Lewis. We've made a complete fool of ourselves by not recognising him, despite people calling him Toby, because we have never seen him without a cap before and he looks different (he was pretty bemused when I asked what his surname was, considering we've talked numerous times in the past lol).

We have ~50k at 800/1600 (200) and make it 3800 in the cutoff with AQs. The small blind flat calls playing a ~30k stack, we put him on a marginal hand having watched him make a similar call with 55 when he had way too short a stack to go set-mining.

Toby has a very similar stack to us and moves all-in from the big-blind. After playing tight since Hand #2, I've been pretty active in the last two rounds.

I feel like our hand plays well against Toby's squeeze shove range, but having only committed 3.8k to the hand, and with Toby's shove being for about 5x the pot, it feels like quite a big call to make with AQs. On the other hand, average stack is ~75k. I felt there was a good chance we're flipping at worst, and was only really sweating AK.

You may want to tell them who it is that limped and also his chat when he sat down and the fact its last level of the day

Was hoping you wouldn't post hand 3 because IMO it's a pretty straightforward call vs Toby!

Hand 1 I don't know much about Blatch but I assume he's ok, and that he realises the limper is a fish and likely to call.  It's a pretty damn big iso size, so I think folding is the line.  Flop was Kxx IIRC, i'd def check back, isn't a great deal to protect from and also it's fairly suspicious why he hasn't cbet a fairly dry board.

Hand 2 I think calling is worst option even tho we IP, hand just doesn't flop very well and gonna have to shut down a ton.  I guess since you didn't know it was Toby at the time i'd just fold pre, but if you know it's him i'd jam

[Rupert]

Oh god yeah the guy who limped was quite clearly doing his best to bust out before the end of the day so Blatch is basically never light there and probs limps behind with medium PPs.  Has to be a pretty clear fold pre I think!

Yeah this all sounds about right. Sigh, if only I could play like you before asking you how I should play .

Blatch - not sure who the guy was tbh, though I have seen him around or whatever, and I didn't hear what he said either lol. I'm observant.

It was Albert Sipiano, plays very similar to Ali Mallu (if you dont know Ali im gonna slap you).

He comes to table with 15 mins of last level of day to go and announces his back his hurting and his chips and going in plenty of times.
