No reads. I'm very confused throughout. Anyone like something different? Calling or raising river?

i may bitch out and call here tbh just so i can note this guy. i would hate to not have the note of WTF this guy is doing here. its so close imo. like a donk would probably bet bigger on the river so it is probably a bet fold. so a shove is probably fine. but hell it is a weird line from him.

I think raising the river is pretty awkward due to stack sizes. I think if we believed we were ahead, the turn was prob the place to bulk the pot.

I guess my dilemma here is that so many Rush players are so nitty that it seems like it'd be hard for our shove to get called by worse. I know that contradicts the K3 hand I posted the other day, but I just don't see many villains attempting to call off here with just an ace. The fact that he overlimp/min-re-raised has got to raise some flags. It'd be incredibly strange for him to have any hand...but I think he should technically mostly have big premiums in the AA/AK/KK/JJ range. Obviously, we need to discount that somewhat because of our hand and because of his bet-sizing...but I still think hands like those are going to constitute most of his calling range if we shove the river.

good rush players are nitty. Bad players are just bad. As for the bolded
Results:Opponent thought for only a moment before calling with Krablar (:ts:club:).
i know it is a different opponent but he is using the same sort of min bets and probably the same sort of thought process (or lack of thought process)If he had a polerized range then I would agree 100%. However this sort of clicking buttons l/rr min bet sort of player isn't. He could have any sort of Ax.

If he were shorter, we might be able to fold pre, but I just don't think we can fold here pre for $2.75 into $11 with $40 behind and having position.Anyway, I do agree with y'all that turn might need to be a smidge bigger. I somewhat wussed out on the river and just called. He had Ad9d, and I took the pot.

I fold this pre 90% of the time, think about it. The reason you gave for calling is that your deeper than normal but in reality thats the reason you should be folding. Hero called the 3bet gets the best possible outcome on the flop/turn and still failed to make a decent pot. Your AJ is in a spot where your likely to be way behind pre. If villain has KK-TT and an A flops you never make $$$, however if he has you dominanted your likely to lose a bigger pot. In the times that you do have the villain dominanted it can be hard for a lot of people to extract full value, again you hit your hand and were still hesitant to build a pot.The only way I call this pre is if villain plays very spewy.

Your right Jbird. AJ puts us in some tough spots. Since tough spots are tough we shouldn't play it.

But what if we play better than our opponents in tough spots?Is something like that even possible?

You shouldn't fold hands because you have 'too much' in a cash game. If you find yourself doing that chances are your afraid to risk your profit without being 100% confident you have your opponent beat. Usually that's because the money means too much for you, so maybe you should drop down in limits or not play.

Yes, but legally only Phil Hellmuth is allowed to do it.... Or Tom Dwan if you are playing on the interwebz.

Its not a fold b/c I am scared of losing the cash. The reasons for not calling were stated previously, the fact we are deep complicates things further.

I can't think of another reason somebody would consider being deeper than normal a reason to fold.

When you're deep and out of position, there are hands that you might fold that you'd 3-bet or call if you were shallower.That said, I just can't get behind folding this IP for that size bet pre.

He's saying his hand has reverse implied odds, which is a legitimate concern.

If it is not on the chart, don't play it. top10hands.jpgWhy is this such a hard concept for you to grasp?
