Hand from FT at Luton last night

[Nico29]

Get it in already.

Tighty's range is crushed by your holding. Dont even worry about utg shipper shorty.

[StuartHopkin]

Surely a sensible range for Prewdinkalot would be

AJ+ 99+

I know he is Tight, but come on!

And the above range would mean its not even close to a fold.

[Claw75]

seems pretty conclusive that getting them all in was the way to go - the table was divided.  I found a fold.  Probably more driven by personal circumstances (i.e. laddering up a place or two would make a huge difference to me atm) than thinking it was the right play.

[NoflopsHomer]

You should not be playing the event if the difference in prize money makes that big a difference.

Agree.

Altho i guess with aces he might flat, as he might also with smaller pairs than 9's.

So if we stove this 99-kk and aj+ your range is 65% fav against tighty's.

Fistpump ship.

Also totally agree.

What would you have been against?

Not that that changes this being a shove though

[Chompy]

Yep, closure please.
Who thought it was the correct fold and what did Prewdiepants proudly turn over?

[Snatiramas]

Do what you like and don't give a stuff about what anybody thinks.

There is no right or wrong. Every individual is different!!!!!
I knew there was a reason I never came on this board

better go now!!

playing as a social thing rather than anything else, but once i've made the money and it's going to make a fair bit of difference to me if i'm moving up a place or two, then is it such a big deal to try to ladder?

lol kind of agree - had no intention of putting it up here, but rich thought it would be a good hand for discussion so I blame him .  as it turns out it's just a 'you did the wrong thing, shouldn't be playing this comp' etc thread. sigh.

chompy - alan gray said he's never folding queens. chris poulton said he'd fold in that spot.  chris (utg) had AJ i think, tighty had AK.

[GreekStein]

Just auto assume that because opponent is tight he has to have one of the only two hands that beat you and fold.

(call quickly)

[Sheriff Fatman]

OK, just stuck the raw numbers into an ICM calc.

Current equity, assuming two equal stacks of 90k, and others of 27k, 30k, 33k is £388

Equity of calling and losing is £110, obv.

Equity of winning the hand and knocking out both players is £517.

So winning the hand gains you £129 in equity, losing it loses you £278 in equity.

Assuming you're 65% favourite, as stated above, then the call loses you £13.45 on average.

(Edit: CBA to figure out the equity of winning side pots, etc.)

Bit unfair, think ppl-myself included are just trying to be constructive.

If it was close to a fold then ppl wld say, but if tighty has like 99+, aj+ then you are a 65% fav against his range.

And in regards to not playing a comp that financially makes such a difference i think what we are saying is that this means that you won't play +ev all the time-thus maybe you shldnt play it?

Hence passing up a spot when you are normally a 2/1 fav.

Not that we all haven't been guilty of that in the past, myself massively.

That's playing in comps too big for my roll and sometimes doing the ol ladder job.

[pleno1]

fuck maths, we have queens and we are five handed with >30bbs

fyp

[BulldozerD]

i'd be getting several worse hands in here as well probs
