UTG+1 seems solid so far - hasn't done anything stupid.
MP1 moved to my table, haven't seen him show down yet, nor have I noticed anything mentionable about his play.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)

MP3 (t6375)
CO (t2595)
Button (t2620)
SB (t690)
BB (t2100)
UTG (t715)
UTG+1 (t3565)
MP1 (t5930)
Hero (t6685)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A , A .
UTG calls t100, UTG+1 raises to t300, MP1 calls t300, Hero raises to t900, 3 folds, SB calls t640 (All-In), 1 fold, UTG calls t615 (All-In), UTG+1 calls t600, MP1 calls t600.

Flop: (t4205) 6 , J , 3 (5 players, 2 all-in : side-pot is ~1k)
UTG+1 checks, MP1 bets t1200, Hero raises to t5785...


Going back and forth with this hand, was hoping FCP would drop the knowledge on me. I'll post results tomorrow evening.

My guess is his range is AJ, 66-KK.

I call.

That flop is so dry, so he's not semibluffing anything, which is bad for us in terms of us being ahead. However, the only hands that he does this with that we are losing to are JJ and 66, and even 66 should be discounted as it isn't raised from EP very often.

#1. I raise more preflop.

Yeah, you got aces, and you want action. But why not raise more to get them to dedicate more of their stack to play against you? Aces are the nuts preflop, and hardly ever the nuts postflop... get as much money in preflop as you can while you hold the best hand.

I think this is an easy push, but your decision would be easier if you raised more preflop.... anywhere from 1200-1800 (I preflop 1500 or so.)

Call hoping he checks the turn? How do you proceed if another blank comes and he bets out again? Pushes? Checks?

With an UTG limp, UTG+1 raise, and MP1 call - thats probably a pretty good suggestion (raising more.) What range do you put UTG+1 / MP1 on?

[simo_8ball]

Raise to ~1300 preflop. Shove flop.

UTG+1 Said she had AQo
MP1 had a set of 3s and called my push.

I hit an A on the river to win the pot and knock three players out.
