darkrider88 0 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hey guys, This was my second MTT, and I am still trying to get a grasp for how to play these things. Here is the hand I need help with. FT 10+1 deepstackBlinds 200, 400, ante 50My stack, 29,000 (M approximately 30, 12 out of 94)Villian 36,000Places paid: 54, 94 people leftBackground: villian is very TAG, and does not let a hand go easily. However he has been caught bluffing in the past.I'm in the small blind with AK hearts, villian opens for 2,500 in middle position. I smooth call, figuring if nothing flops i lose the minimum, and if i flop something I can definetley trap this aggressive opponent.Flop: 9h 8h 5 clubI check, villian bets 5,000, I reraise all in.My logic is that if he has a pair I am a favorite (2 overs and a flushdraw), and coupled with the fold equity, I defintely can make money from this play. Question is, do I take the edge I have and push it, looking to win this monster pot and get deep in the MTT, or do I dump the hand and conserve. Thank I really appreciate your help.Results in white Opponent Calls and shows QQTurn and river are blanks, I'm outta here. Link to post Share on other sites
irishguy 14 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Here's my thinking Villian is tight so anything he calls with is a coin flip. Yes you certainly have fold equity but particularly in deep stack situations I look to eploit bigger edges as opposed to marginal ones. I likely try to draw as cheaply as possible but thats just me.
