You vs Thew, what do?

[Skippy]

Bit of in tourney PHA this. I'm playing the £50 +2r at DTD. I've got about 40k. Julian Thew is on my left. Blind on blind- I've got A7o in the small blind. 300/600/50. Folded to me, I raise to 1500. Thew reraises to 4000 out of 22k-ish in the big. a) What should I do? b) How do I think about what I should do?

Don't worry, I've played the hand now, it's not that urgent :-)

fold

Just fold now I feel.

Thew is decent apparently and playing this post is going to be horrendous.

I'd maybe even be tempted to open fold v Julian as he'll just put you in a coffin so often on all sorts of textures post flop.

Out of position v a competent madman has the makings of a fairly unpleasant scenario.

Wouldnt be in my 4bet jam range as a bluff but wouldnt open fold either

[titaniumbean]

Fold and show him the ace with a bit of panache, then shake your head at him in disgust whilst he mucks.

if he shows you a bluff, slowly shake your fist at him saying 'damn aggro kids'

[Karabiner]

Easy shove now for me as he'll no doubt hit the flop if you give him the opportunity.

but we have an ace and a seven?

fold now.

My only experience playing with him ended with him 6bet jamming 120bb with QTo from the hijack vs muckthenuts in the small blind with pretty much no history in the 500 at DTD. This makes me less inclined to fold but I still probably do

I actually think he has a lot more bluffs than value hands on this spot and would probably not adjust to balancing to 3b to induce with 88/99/aj etc this is fine of course too and Julian is a boss. There's not a huge deal we can do though lol cbet 4b fold with stacks and a little deep to jan here especially as we can show a huge profit from playin against te other 7 fishcakes. (Jason/Adam) DUCWIDT? I prob jam here around 15pc
And never call

Damn dem pesky kidz raising your raises.

Fold.

If you had no history you could lol call top 3, but presume he recognises Skippy. Like the fishcake usage.

[BulldozerD]

[AlexMartin]

Anyone like to limp, 3 bet here?
