Need thoughts on what I should or should have done on this hand. Sitting with roughly $600 in the BB with JJ. Early position raise to $20 from a solid player (has ~$1K), a call from a very loose drunk player (~$500), another call from a solid player (~$400) and a raise to $120 by the LAG/Genius (~$800)...action to me. Here's where it gets wacky, while action is to me the cocktail waitress is passing out our drinks and without knowing I haven't acted the original raiser and loose drunk guy flat call the $120 raise...what do i do?
-
Just get up and go to the bathroom at this point..
-
stack sizes are relevant .. any info on what others are sitting with or are we assuming they all have around table average/buy in
edit: i actually feel like there is important info not given in this that would really help such as past hands .. however with the info given .. i probably repop ... 2 flatters that acted quick are almost never showing up with better than JJ esp if they are aware of this lagtard since they will also be OOP and prob wont get tricky .. as long as these are compitent players .. and if the 3bet tard is what u say is .. you should have his range crushed. I hate flatting 120 oop in this spot because there isnt gonig to be much play post flop. You check fold to high board and jam low board ... by flatting you are basically set mining. Fold or repop pre imo.
(I'm guessing $1k guy has AQish or 88ish and drunk guy is not important)
also - have u seen any of his 3bets and what was the raise sizing in these instances? -
Just edited with approx stack sizes.

It was definitely a tough spot, I figured it was an allin or fold situation. I wanna get a few more opinions and I'll post what happened. Sorry spacemandave dont play AC, so cant suggest anywhere.
-
Your not deep enough to call and set-mine. If you were this would be alright since you pretty much know the action behind you won't preclude you from seeing the flop.
So, it's a shove or fold scenario. When action gets to you, there is around 165 in the pot. The spot is really marginal but becomes a math problem based on what hands you put into Lag/Genius's range. I think I fold but I'm not all that skilled when it comes to NLHE Cash Games. -
I guess I should've went to the bathroom...here's what went down. I decided to shove, got called by original raiser everyone folded the lag/genius went to muck but accidentally flipped his cards QJo. I lose the pot, original raiser had KK. thanks for your opinions.
-
I dunno. If I read your thread right. It goes raise call call reraise and call call.. And you only have 5 bucks invested.. Seems like the easiest fold ever. I know its a live game but still especially with the series going on there are going to be a few good players at teh games.. More than usual I guess.
-
ehh .. i dont like original raiser's play AT ALL .. hes potentialy getting into a 4 way pot OOP with KK facing complete random hands with a $1k stack where he has the potential to lose a lot .. i really wouldnt question your play here .. bad play on his part imo
-
Shove or fold for sure mang.

Stacks too small for anything else.
Can't give a real answer to this either other than shove/fold without a lot for details as far as reads on players in hand.
Before I scrolled down I said in my head read is on original raiser and if he has a big pair.......
NH
Wait, am I reading the action correct here? -
I havent played 2/5 live just 1/3 NL but shoving JJ pre with that many people and that much money in the pot already just seems like a pretty bad move. Maybe if the one guy didnt flat ahead of you and it was just the lagtard it would be ok but when that guy flatted out of turn I muck the Jacks.
-
the reasons u just listed is why you would raise with JJ

This def seems like a fold. Table dynamics and previous pots play a large factor so since this is unknown to us, I'm gunna take the side to flat here. You should mostly be worried about the original raiser and the genius raiser. If you flat here I see you saving $480. If you flat, the original raiser is re-raising a substanial size. In your spot you can see what everyone else does behind. If kk flats, and comes 8 hi, your stackin off. 95% kings is making it 300+ and ur folding. If it happens to come J hi, your in a large multi way pot with a good percentage of winning a monster.

I just think its a spew to get in 600 bucks preflop with JJ in that game.

if the money from the 2 idiot flatters HAS to stay in the pot once u shove...this is A INSTA FIST PUMP EQUITY shove.
all that $ in the pot when both have to fold or end up calling with worse feeling "pot commited" and all the times the lag has nothing he can call with.
yea u are beat sometimes...but still shove -
This is probably a fold, but it's hard to give legit advice on a hand that is based so much on the dynamic of the table, how the 3-bettor had been reacting to it, how he'd been playing overall, etc. Typically 2/5 doesn't play super aggro (and hasn't the times I've played it at Venetian this summer), and almost everyone's 3-betting range is very tight... but there are def games where this may not be true.
And I have no idea what LAG/Genius means.
edit: if the 3-bettor is a euro, value jam. -
Yeah, and this is clearly the most important thing that OP hasn't made clear.
-
as most state, this is shove / fold spot.
i think i am probably leaning towards folding until i notice that both guys just flat the raise to 120. at that point, if the guy did that out of turn on purpose, then he is working harder for his money than me that night as i won't put either of the two guys behind me on anything better than jj, and at this point, i lean towards a shove.
the real problem is we don't know enough about our opponents and their tendencies to flat or 3 bet and the frequencies of both. w/o this information, it is difficult to narrow down ranges and figure out whether shoving or folding is the correct play.

LOL 3-bettor was a Euro and LAG/Genius = guy who thinks he's durrrr. The money didn't stay in the pot. I think I read the LAG correctly, but didn't take into account that I only had $5 in the pot and to risk $600 for ~$180 in the pot isn't gonna be profitable in the long run. I was still in tourney mode and if I wasn't I probably fold here and enjoy my ketel redbull.
-
If you say the guy who popped it up to 120 is a LAG/genius then i would say it is def a shove by you really just looking more not to get called by one of the original obv b/c if he knows what he's doing then it is def a great spot by him to raise to pick up all the dead money from all the limpers/ You def have plenty of fold equity esp if he is raising with air and by getting all folds you increase your stack by over 33 percent. You never said what his position was but if he is in the cut or the button i would def do a shove where more often then not your gonna take the whole pot without any showdown.

The thing about live poker is that hand value's and shoving ranges/calling ranges change dramatically for your opponents, especially in a 2/5 game, so you also have to adjust to it. IMO You're at best a coin flip here a good majority of the time (from my experience) so why shove? There are plenty of ways to get your money in than coin flipping--especially in a live cash game...

please do not do this

shove or fold depending on your read on the LAG - has he squeezed light b4????
also you should know which type of LAG he is - oftentimes LAG's will open many pots but they won't 3 bet or squeeze light cuz they are aware of their image which allows them to get paid off in spots like this
so that being said, if you've seen him 3 betting a lot just shove - otherwise i fold in a vacuum with no reads
