Royal_Tour 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Me - 350donkey - 900I have no reads on the table yet, But its late on a weeknight, and these guys look like business men, and not poker players.I pick up JJ in the cutoff. UTG who is short stacked leads out for 10. folds to me, and I pick up that he's weak and wants to gamble and leave. His buddy had just come over and said something about leaving. He polished off his drink after betting the 10. So i make a big re-raise to 42. Basically putting him all in. The button decides to call the 42 leaving him 50 behind. (I couldnt believe that) and the Donkey with the big stack calls from small blind.The UTG player moves all in. But he had more than i thought he went all in for 58 total. so it was 16 more. which meant i couldnt re-raise. At this point i reached a tuff spot. either i push all in, for another 250 more, or i just call.I decided to just call, the button decides to move all in, and small blind calls again. so i call again.The pot is about $320 at this point. Did I play this horribly? I obviously did not expect button, or sb to call. AND now that i got into this mess, I wasnt too comfortable pushing in another 250 with JJ, when sb could actually have a big hand that hes willing to call my shove with Link to post Share on other sites

SB donkey smooth called the $100 and it's back to you. at this point i shove and get a side pot with the donkey where if i beat him i still make $ in the hand and if he folds which i don't see based on his action your probably ahead/racing UTG/Button.

mtdesmoines 3 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 This is a tough spot with JJ because when the cards roll over, we often see that the aggressors are stealing each others' outs over us with hands like AK AQ etc. This is really read dependent how far I go with this hand. I've both mucked it and shoved it. Link to post Share on other sites
David_Nicoson 1 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this hand? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this hand! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm an engineer discussing cards, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must call! The defense rests.-- plagiarized from South Park Link to post Share on other sites

mtdesmoines 3 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Unless the casino counts an all-in move as being different from a re-raise, this makes no sense.Because the button hadn't closed action on the original re-raise and the re-re-raise was more than twice the button's original action, but since the all in was NOT double of the re-raise, the re-raiser didn't have re-re-raise action. Pretty standard, really. Link to post Share on other sites

Acid_Knight 2 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I was just trying to make sense of the action and question from the OPThe question in the OP seems poinless as he never has a decision where he can consider folding and he should also never have a choice where he can shove.

The action seems to make sense until that point.i am retarded this is what i was thinkingroyal raises $32, button calls, sb calls, UTG raises to $50 Allinnow its on royal and he cannot raise because the all in was less than the $18 UTG bet all in. royal calls $18. now for some reason i thought that since the $18 all in from utg and royals $18 is > than Royal's $32 raise that the action would open up again.i have absolutely no clue why i think this is a rule but obv it isn't Link to post Share on other sites
mtdesmoines 3 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 i couldnt re-raise. At this point i reached a tuff spot. either i push all in, for another 250 more, or i just call.I decided to just call, the button decides to move all in, and small blind calls again. so i call again.The pot is about $320 at this point.RT, can you clarify what's going on here?

Acid_Knight 2 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 He never has an option other than calling based on the statements in the OP.Therefore this post is essentially: Should I call with JJ preflop getting infinity to 1 pot odds, or should I fold?RT = Donk Link to post Share on other sites
StilettoNole 0 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I always call with infinity to one odds. Standard. Link to post Share on other sites
