    Sitting with 42 BBs

    ImaLuckSac have been playing pretty solid, been at his table for quite some time and haven't seen him get out of line (TAG). Im usually pretty aggro, but my image was pretty nitty. Tourney has a decent structure, I was sitting and picking my spots.

    WWYD here... Shove, 4bet/call or call?? oh... or fold of course (lol) (Playing to win obv)

    Edit: I kno this hand is pretty std

    Edit for RESULTS: I shoved and he had JJ. Flop J and I'm drawn dead.
     
  2. 4 bet call shove is pretty standard here but I think he is not folding it's probably QQ+ AK he can get away from JJ but if u are playing to win I 4-bet call shove. Flat is pretty bad oop there vs good opponent
     
  3. Yea im pretty sure the optimal line here is 4bet/call shove. Just wondering if anybody find other ways to play this hand and why??

    I think over playing AK is one of my many leaks and just wondering if folding is ever an option? (seems so exploitable)

    QQ+, AK and maybe JJ is his range. Do I really wanna get them in hoping im 50/50 with such a good structure?

  4. I can't believe this tourney goes this late holey crap
  5. blame it on the good structure yo

  6. Cant decide wether to 4 bet call or just shove. Against someone bad id 4 bet smallish to induce shoves
  7. obv shove -and- I'm never folding, but u don't know that with 100% certainty
  8. he could fold. j9s seems good enough

  11. i'd fold
  12. Slowroll shove obv...
     
  13. type in the chat that you'd like to fondle his luck sac, then shove when he's distracted
  14. I was railing this table so I will be shhhhhhh...

    but knowing the results..I think you were fine and most people ( would love to know who wouldn't)

    would not do what you did.

    and then that damn ten on the river to counterfit....I think you left saying..FML...

    Nice finish tho..

    What happened to this part again?
  16. i don't think were ever folding here even w/ his image. Min 4 bet to 38600 to make your hand look as strong as possible
     
  17. Why 4 bet? Just shove.
     
  18. The ten on the river that I speak of was a completely different hand. He will know what Im talking about.

    4betting allows so much more to happen. OBV vs lucksack He would know were not 4bet folding here but against randos they percieve this as a bluff and will 5bet shove lite. and 4bet shoving only allows better or racing hands to call.
     
  21. u aren't really deep enough to 4bet with illusion of FE so just shove.

    the_dean22 is an instructor at PocketFives Training . To get more of his advice and to watch his training videos, click here.

  22. No offense but if you dont know what to do w/ this hand at this stage of a MTT as tuff as the 320$ , then you might wanna re-eval why your playing in it....

    yfm
     
  23. Im not really sure how you are supposed to play it besides get it in. Kevin is never playing nitty enough for you to fold AK in this spot.
  24. Just shove, if you wanted to 4b bluff here you would just shove for maximum FE.
     
  25. you have AK........

    he means hes never 3 bet folding
  28. if hes never 3b/folding then its prob a fold(lol). doubt hes actually that nitty tho, so dont

    i would super snap shove in hopes that he might level himself into folding the bottom part of his value range

    Surely he 3b/f as a bluff SOMETIMES...that's what I was asking :)

    What the fuck is with everyone talking about 4-bet/calling? That's so atrocious I don't understand why anyone wouldn't just shove, you should be reshipping on AKo as well as AA or KK or bluff, if you start pulling this bullshit 4-betting meta-game you're just giving him room to get away from his AQs which he might call you on if you just shove.
