Deep in $640 comp shallowish oop and AQ Utg+1.

[Nico29]

Ok so we are deep in the partypoker summer million, with $1600 or so grntd but $203k up top, 97 left, my stack 22bbs.

Table is soft, standard is gen terrible, ppl just seem to play face up/peel way 2 much and don't seem to open nor jam light.

My image isn't exactly like this as my stack has been up/down quite a bit obv adjusting to each diff level of playage within my stack. I've been 3bet/jamming late pos opens v lite with 15-20bbs and getting away with it to compensate for rank holdings.

Also i've prev raised from most positions when my stack was 30 bbs + for the majority of the tournament and there were plenty of steal opportunities available. So i guess i'm viewed as a bit laggy pre when opening, altho obv i'm not raising atc from this stack and position. The reason i'm quite short is due 2 ppl donk peeling and my cbets failing 2 work.

Obv when i raised i was doing so purely for value and i wasn't thinking of folding, i mean i'm not exactly deep.

I guess with only 1 short stack (under 10bbs still to act) i can raise to fold a wide range of hands.

Structure is nice, 20 minute levels and not massively steep.

Villain1 has shown fish tendencies-has a bad sharkscope, and is guilty of overplaying certain broadway hands and peeling oop with weak aces etc. Villain 2 is an unknown to me.

What do ppl think about these ranges here? IRT without running stove this is basically what i assigned both.

Villain 1 99/AQS+

Villain 2 Same

I felt like a super nit when considering folding here with 20bbs getting roughly 2-1, but 3 ways with aqo?

Stove says i need 3.8-1 against these ranges-wow snap fold apparently.

So i guess an easy fold right I mean if we give these ppl esp spazzy villain 1 such tight ranges?

Appreciate all thoughts, especially if we are snapping if villain 2does not come along for the ride?

Stove says we need 2-1 to snap his head off in that coup if it's the same range.

Getting barely 1.4-1 isn't this a snap fold too?

I just think such spots cause me big problems shallow deep on. Appreciate all constructive feedback.

I'm not often raise/folding from 22 bigs but this is a fold. In fact villian 1 hands looks so much like AK I may have folded to just the 1 bet

[Boba Fett]

Think villain 1s range is more like 88/99-JJ/QQ and AQ+ unless there is previous evidence of him just 3bet jamming 40bbs effective with AA/KK.  Its not impossible for him to be doing that here, if he is a losing player he might be getting nervous being this deep in a $640 tourney that he probably satted into and just overplays his big hands to save himself from any preflop decisions but I think unless we have seen him do it before then we have to assume he 3bets for value mostly with AA/KK and maybe QQ.

Villain 2 I think 99 and AQ is a fold, however since he is an unknown I added it in anyway because its not an unrealistic call.

So when I stoved these ranges I got.....

Your equity doesnt really change if we take AA/KK out of villain 1s range so its still a fold.

So opening here you need to be prepared to call shoves from seats 5, 8 and 9 and you can call profitably if they are shoving 77+/AT+/KQ which i dont think is an unreasonable shoving range for those stacks.  With just this I think is fine to open here and then raise/decide agains the other stacks depending on sizing/position/how wide they are 3betting etc.  And sometimes you will just run into spots like this with multiple action behind forcing a fold.

[outragous76]

Table is soft, standard is gen terrible, ppl just seem to play face up/peel way 2 much and don't seem to open nor jam light.

I said this in your last post, and I think that with very marginal spots on a Sunday, I prefer to do a fold on the grounds that we can chip up and keep grinding hard until  a less marginal spot occurs.

Im not sure you wont agree, but def my default line

[boldie]

Meh, I probably fold here...and sigh and say FML for having to fold.

and then reallly say "FML!" when they flip their KJ/KQ over.

[the sicilian]

fold..better spots imo..ur following classic small ball guidelines here..ur in for 10% of ur stack and AQ beats nothing genuine..id rather be the one pushing here than calling off .... i feel with so many to act after this is a hand that crushes you..

[Nit Tendencies]

This is a very very standard fold. Our hand doesn't run anywhere near as well as we need to against two pretty tight ranges 3 way when we can fold and still have 21bbs.

Snap fold, not worth a second thought.

[Boba Fett]

In which kind of spots should we be considering an open fold here?  Going by this description, being oop to a peel postflop with our stacksize doesnt seem like much fun, and if players are never jamming light then there must be a point when open folding is the best option?

I think here is ok to open as there are 3 of the 6 to act are <20bbs and should be shoving wide enough to call with AQ, but generally if there was, for example, 1x15bb stack, 2x25-30bb stacks and 3x30+bb stacks with the same description.  Should we be open folding off a 17-25bb stack?

Very much along my lines of thought also. Tyvm for your comments so far fett.

Ty so far for all the comments, i'll say what i did in a bit.

I expected ppl to say 3 ways this is a standard fold, and I agree wholeheartedly.

Be more interested to hear what ppl's thoughts are about whether or not we call if we are heads up with villain 1?

I mean obv aq is right near the bottom of my value raising range here. I'm rsng ajstd and folding ajo. I'm folding pairs below 8's i think.

Villain1 is one of the few i have half decent  info on, obv our position in this hand sucks tho. Lp i'd be snapping his jams much more liberally.

Agree somehat with yr last point and seriously wld consider a dirty nitty fold with those stacks, irl doubt i'd ever do so though with so many passive fish around in the comp.

Yeah but we can balance that by 3bet jamming ourselves or peeling in position and generally winning more pots from later position with worse hands.  With an awkward stack size even a bad villain and make life pretty hard for us postflop, Im pretty guilty of just liberally opening no matter what.

[Rupert]

fold first guys range that you posted is too wide

[Nico29]

Ty 4 all replies, still am not sure if i'm folding hu altho rupert's point about villain's 1 range being too wide is possibly correct. Altho i did make it that wide due to his prev history of overplaying bad aces and broadways.

Anyway i instantly folded as it was 3 ways and saw that villain 1 had tens and villain 2 aq std.

Aq flopped a queen and won the hand.

Aq flopped a queen and won the hand.

well this changes everything!
