throwemaway 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Ok I have been playing very aggressively, but really I'm just a cardrack so far..My past experience with these gay little min raises is that its air and they are trying to take the pot cheap, its a draw, or in very, very small amounts of time, its a monster..I'm really not giving him credit for a monster due to board texture..That being said, what is your flop action? Are you putting him all in to price out the times he has a draw or flat calling to induce another bullet if he has air? This player doesn't have like any tourney winnings FWIW and seems pretty weak alsoPokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)MP (t1335)Hero (t3365)Button (t1275)SB (t1755)BB (t755)UTG (t3515)Preflop: Hero is CO with A , A . 2 folds, Hero raises to t120, Button calls t120, 2 folds.Flop: (t285) 2 , 5 , 2 (2 players)Hero bets t150, Button raises to t300, Hero Link to post Share on other sites
pokerfan1080 0 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Min reraises piss me off! If it's a low buyin tourney it generally means a big hand (from my experience). I've found that alot of low-buyin players will only make re-raises with a good hand, they have no bluff/play making skills because they are too scared, even with a big draw.I think he has a hand, but probably nothing better than a higher pocket pair to the board. Pushing and losing will leave you with about 2100 chips which is still playable, flop seems safe, I push.Edit: Ah, $13 double shoot-out. Easy push. People will play any hand in these, but probably not a hand that has a 2, unless it's A2. Link to post Share on other sites
timwakefield 69 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hmm, I think that because so much of the time you're way way ahead here (he doesn't have a draw or a monster), you can call and check the turn, and let him shove for you. Or you can shove, but I think calling and checking the turn probably increases the chances that he gets all in, which is what you want. Link to post Share on other sites
4TeedleMac 0 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 i see his minraise as wanting to get the money in now. if he was raising with air im thinking a larger raise gets the job done instead of laying you an excellent price to the pot. i think he has a middle pair or a flush draw so i like the shove here, i think a call potentially shuts him down on the turn or lets him draw cheaply. an overcard to his middle pair slows him down, as does a non heart for his draw. if he is actually slowplaying a big pair then a shove gets all the money in for sure. with villian only having about 800 left that minraise screams i want all the money in now.....i shove and then puke when i see the flopped boat Link to post Share on other sites
