E-Cart6 0 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I got myself into a really tough spot in this hand. The last 3 hands me and the chipleader had been together in every pot. 2 Hands ago i reraised him preflop when he was on the button and i had the SB and i knew he was stealing. Also the last hand we had been together in a pot. I only recently decided to get involved with him and was going to use my position on him to the max. He was playing about every 1 in 2-3 hands so was hyperaggressive. Rest of the table seemed fairly tight though the shortstack had been shoving allin quite a bit even though he wasn't that short.Poker StarsNo Limit Holdem TournamentBlinds: t400/t800(Ante: t75)5 playersConverterSeat 1: mirage1970 (20590 in chips) (Button)Seat 3: DATA13 (20814 in chips) (SB)Seat 4: blizzard788 (16105 in chips) (BB)Seat 5: Kaylis420 (61798 in chips) (UTG)Seat 6: E-Cart6 (21611 in chips) (CO)Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with :D UTG raises to t2100,Normally i'd just call here, but because this guy was hyperaggressive playing almost 50% of his hands i decided to reraise. We were 5-handed aswell so TT is a pretty good hand in this situation.Hero raises to t6100, Button raises all-in t20515, 3 folds,So now some1 reraises allin. He had been fairly tight, but he hadn't gotten a chance to get into pots anyway with the hyperaggressive chipleader and me playing back at the chipleader. I definately thought he could have an overpair here and i had to think really long, but he'd definately make this move with AK, and being 5-handed and the 2 of us being so aggressive it's definately likely he'd do it with AQ, maybe maybe even AJ/99. So i did some calculations here.In 10% of the cases he'll be bluffing, even though i don't consider people in a 4.40 capable of a squeeze play here, he could have 99 in 10% of the cases.10% x 0.8 = 8%In 60% he'll have an overpair, i think a lot less here, but this is a worst case scenarion.60% x 0.2 = 12%In 30% he'll have 2 overcards, though i think this % will be much higher.30% x 0.5 = 15%Gives me a grand total of 35% chance to win this hand. With a little better than 2 to 1 odds on my money i should call this. Add to this the chance the UTG was holding an A aswell so he'd have less outs if he has 2 overcards and i think he'll show up with overcards much more often than in these calculations... call, right?Hero calls t14415 (pot was t30290).Flop: :) (t44705, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t44705)Turn: (t44705, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t44705)River: (t44705, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t44705)Results:Final pot: t44705Hero showed Td ThButton showed AAWas i just unlucky here that the button picked up a sick hand or was my call based on the calculations correct?Also had i called and won, the chance i'd have been able to take this 4.40 down with such an ammount of chips would've been huge.

cubsfan44 0 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I think his range is a lot tighter then you are giving him credit for Id say AA,KK,QQ,AK and maybe JJ. Also in a 4.40 I wouldnt expect a player in that spot to ever be bluffing. Pretty easy fold Link to post Share on other sites
throwemaway 0 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Very good breakdown of the hand IMO..You made a read on the initial raiser and acted accordingly...I like..Then you put button on a range, which I think is fairly accurate...He can show up with AK/AQ a lot here because most 4.40 players aren't folding these hands, esp 5. handed. After doing the pot odds you are getting 2.1:1, which means you need 32% equity in the hand.. According to the range we gave him, I'd say its about a break even call in terms of EV, and since 4.40s are so top heavy, I think this makes us lean towards calling even more so..NHIn the future, I think its best to just not post results at all at the start, even if they are in white..Just my opinion Link to post Share on other sites

Sheiky 0 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I like the re-raise PF, really not certain whether to call the all in or not though. Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I can see putting AK in his range, but I have a hard time believing many players would come over the top of a UTG raise and CO reraise with anything worse than that. How much does the calculation change if you remove AQ and AJ from the range? I don't play the $4.40's, but the guy is nowhere near shortstacked enough to be making this move with a wide-ish range.

How much does the calculation change if you remove AQ and AJ from the range? I don't play the $4.40's, but the guy is nowhere near shortstacked enough to be making this move with a wide-ish range.Well he is just saying overcards make up about 30 percent of his range, so that consists of AK, AQ, AJ..I don't think you see AQ here a lot, but you do see AK..Maybe we should lower the high card percentage to 20 percent and the overpair to 70 percent.Which would give us10% x 0.8 = 8%In 60% he'll have an overpair, i think a lot less here, but this is a worst case scenarion.70% x 0.2 = 14%In 30% he'll have 2 overcards, though i think this % will be much higher.20% x 0.5 = 10%an equity of 32%...Exactly break even Still a call with a top heavy structure Link to post Share on other sites

The chipleader had already been playing 50% of his hands nearly(hyperaggro) and i reraised him preflop 2 hands earlier aswell. So considering all this i definately think he'd do the same with AQ, possibly AJ, but AQ for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
