Reads:

The min-raiser kept doing that all game with suited junk. I was pretty sure he would fold to the re-raise. The BB cold-calling was a bit of a surprise, but I didn't know much about him. The villain just got caught on a big bluff on the previous hand and was by far the most aggressive player at the table.

(edit) P.S. That was my last ever converted hand!

Ah the dreaded limp / push. I hate that move but it can be effective given your opponent has a hand. I understand villian is aggressive but I can only see us AT BEST as a coinflip.

I probably fold.
DonkSlayer
Fold. Coinflip AT BEST for your stack.

I had to infer that the UTG limped...I don't see that in the converted hand. Why not just copy/paste that into your post instead of linking?

I think this is a fold.

I just don't think the percentages justify a such a big over-call. From your read you are either a coin flip or merely a 60/40 favorite against a (non-heart) suited connector.

All you have is A high

Pot of 148, and it costs 99 to call. We need to be pretty much exactly 40%+ to call.

For just AA,KK,AK:

CODE
           equity (%)      win (%)    tie (%)
Hand  1:    40.2462 %      13.34%     26.91%      { AKs }
Hand  2:    59.7538 %      32.84%     26.91%      { KK+, AKs, AKo }


For QQ+

CODE
          equity (%)      win (%)    tie (%)
Hand  1:    34.5860 %      34.22%     00.37%      { AKs }
Hand  2:    65.4140 %      65.05%     00.37%      { QQ+ }


For QQ+ and AK

CODE
          equity (%)      win (%)    tie (%)
Hand  1:    41.9040 %      22.62%     19.28%      { AKs }
Hand  2:    58.0960 %      38.81%     19.28%      { QQ+, AKs, AKo }


For any legitimate range, it is close. I don't think it is a significant mistake either way you play it.

I'm surprised no one has considered the fact that the aggressive villain was caught bluffing the previous hand and might be tilting. If he shows us an underpair, this is an auto-call, correct?
Lavitz
Just because a player is agressive doesn't mean he is pushing pre-flop with mediocre hands but the fact he just lost a huge hand does stay in my mind Tough decision but I think he at least has small PP and I dont like when were prolly racing at best. fold.

I think this is interesting. Wouldn't we want a race in this situation? It's about 100 into a pot of 150.

Or are assuming the BB's call might indicate one of our cards is dead? Wouldn't you think the BB was likely to have a small PP here cold-calling a raise and a re-raise?

Gambooooooooooooool!!

There's a lot already in..not a bad spot to take a coinflip. Sometimes we forget that if it's a 'coinflip' and we're getting better than 1(ish):1 it's profitable..

Oh, how I hate that Sklanksy!

Looking back at this hand, if I told you I was the villain, does that change anyone's response to how the "hero" played this hand? Also, what range of hands would you make the play I made with?

If you were villain, I'd generally be doing this with AA and KK. In both cases, you got the limp/re-raise you were presumably hoping for (and more). If I had QQ, I'd probably smooth call (instead of re-raise, which would have been the initial plan) given that the BB just called (he's seen a raise and a re-raise, yet he calls).

i would call.

iīm not really sure what to make of him losing a big pot the hand before. does it mean he canīt get his money in the pot fast enough with aces or kings now and thatīs why heīs moving in? or does it mean heīs tilting and would do it with a lot weaker hands? wouldnīt he be more inclined to raise more hands up front then? or is he limping with just about anything there and wants to take the pot away?
i dunno, but i call.
