Avii 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I think I did. Villain in this hand was of the passive type but did not really stand out as one style or the other. I have not been opening a lot, and particularly not in first position. This time I elected for a full 3x raise, and I get repopped. I cover.Villain instashoved over, which means he did not even think about it. I'm still leaning towards a call, am i correct in thinking this, or is it better to just sit and wait? Bubble is approaching, should this have any impact in my decision?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 11 Tournament, 50/100 Blinds (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands Replayersaw flopBB (t1205)Avii (UTG) (t2945)MP (t4750)Button (t2210)SB (t2390)Avii's M: 19.63Preflop: Avii is UTG with 9 , 9 Avii bets t300, 1 fold, Button raises to t2210 (All-In), 2 folds, Hero (t0) ?

Sick Boy 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I think u should probably just let this one go. Does the bubble have any affect on your decesion here? Yes, it does because villain is gonna be shoving a lot tighter here most of the time. So, alot of the times he's turning over two overs here, AK - AT type hands. You should really try avoid a race situation here since you will almost always be in one and hardly ever have him dominated. TT - QQ is also very plausable here which means you're almost dead.Anyways, imo just fold and wait for a better spot, you have enought chps to do so. You really dont want to be committing most of your chips on what is usually a race situation right on the bubble. Link to post Share on other sites
MNmiracleCJS 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 FoldI hate 99 here we dont have a significant chip advantage and villain just shipped 22BB.. Yeah its from the button and yeah he could have 66-88 here. But more often than not he has AJ+ and TT+ which represents a far larger portion of his range. I don't think villain is doing this with ATC and I don't like the idea of at best flipping the majority of the time in this situation. Link to post Share on other sites

rrumsey 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 that is a big raise thou but i think he is just praying you think the same thing and call. Fringe fold im probably shipping 10's, def j's. Oh and totally agree with Kkot on the bet size since it is such a tight spot on the bubble we can get by with smaller raises since it is more of a stop go kind of situation most wil not care about pot odds but more about the move you are showing them. 2.5X BB is just fine get about the same thing done Link to post Share on other sites

tbrick412 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 2.5x this pre, and fold to push imo Link to post Share on other sites
Avii 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Tnx for the replies everyone! FWIW, I folded.I had the slight suspicion that because the bubble is so nearing, villain would realize that my utg opening range would widen because i would start to make use of my second stack and start stealing.

Your stack is not pressuring you into a call and you could still end up in a coin flip, even if he's just pulling a move. Link to post Share on other sites
