timwakefield 69 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I open-fold 33 there usually. It's a tough spot as played, but I think calling is right. He's short and could have a pretty wide range, especially if you've been opening a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
Jam-Fly 8 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 As played, I call for sure. I think the initial raise is simply a case of different strokes for different folks. I think it's slightly -EV at worst, but as I said, it depends on the person. Link to post Share on other sites
sabes99 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 i probably limp pre-flop and try to see a cheap one and flop a set and maybe bust someonei probably fold to the raise there too, i hate flipping coins for 30% of my stack Link to post Share on other sites
gilbertology 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I fold this preflop sometimes and limp other times but with the stacks at the table I rarely raise 33 3x utg+1 at this stage. If a shortstack reraises your limp you can easily fold, and if its folded around you can rep aces and usually take the pot down with a bet on the flop. Once you've made the raise I'd call the all in but I'm not liking the spot I just got myself into.333!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
TB17 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 I never limp after the first hour and a half, and if I'm at the same table that I first started with, then limping is a good play. However, in this tourney I got moved around a ton and I really don't think limping at a new table is good for my image. (of course neither is showing down 33 UTG+1), and I do fold I'd say maybe...75% of the time, but I find myself in tourneys get really short near the end, I'd say about 80% of the tourneys I FT in, Im 6 of 9 or worse. I pretty much wanted to get a big stack for this tourney and won this race, but ended up blowing it like usual.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 Link to post Share on other sites
