  2. None of the alternatives here are particularly appealing. Folding seems weak. Flatting really doesnt help you much as there is a player to act and you will end up check/folding a lot of flops. Jamming is going to fold out anything you are ahead off. Raise/folding is obviously awful.

    Really not sure...maybe fold and dont tell anyone.
     
  3. I would not mess with a girl name followed by the number 15
  4. i guess it just depends on the read u have on rebecca15 if no read then for me id never raise or shove maybe fold probably flat call but i dont wanna get my whole stack in this early in a mtt for a flip against a pair wat did u did u do what was the outcome

    Don't think a random is ever raise folding (esp that much) here pre antes. On that note, I fold pre.

    I totally disagree with this, it should be the other way round
     
  11. In all seriousness I fold here to a girl 3 betting in this spot
  12. Totally should have folded. I was happy when she snapped with JJ obv cause defintly didnt want to see KK+ lol but defintly understand why this is a bad play given it is so early and I didnt have much info on this Lil girl. And I think that I could have easily found some other spots. Cause I still would have at least 6k behind and I only put in fucking 2.6bb's. Ty for the input.

  15. prob just give more credit because you raised UTG, if you raised from MP-LP and someone flatted behind then she 3bet I'd probably go with it. Otherwise... no reads and early in tourn just give it to her this time.
  16. I flat and see a flop.....i dunno.....def. not folding AK for 1/5 of stack and jamming would not be wise either. Whats wrong with flatting here? Any inputs?
  17. Usually don't see too many random unknowns raising an UTG raise for the hell of it. If I felt they were spewy I get it in all day in this particular tournament. If I have no reads I fold.

    Too big a portion of your stack to flat and check/fold any non A or K hi flops. Rebecca is just never folding once she 3bets, so we're almost calling an all in against a range that should be QQ+,AK. (although she had JJ here).
  19. jesus am i really the only person here whos insta jamming here 100% of the time? holy nits itt...also to the people who say that players at lower stakes never fold after they make a 3 bet like that, then u dont play low stakes tournies enough

    You gotta flip some time...not sure I could find the fold button in that spot. Even when they call they show up with all sorts of stuff.

    Agree..and as I said, I have a hard time not getting it in (without a read).
  22. i really dont get why u guys are saying a random in a donkament is not raise folding here, and also saying if its a random with no info ur going to fold, i do the opposite with no info i shove just cuz i assume everyone in a donkament is an idiot until they prove it otherwise and i think they can play....neways i come across tons of times everyday where a situation like this comes up, and i just jam my aa/kk or whatever assuming hes gonna call and hoping my hand will hold, then the 3better just folds, i dont know wtf they have or wtf they are doing, but i dont think theres anyway folding ak here is the right play against a random in a donkament in this spot

  23. Reads would help a lot.
    She's telling you that shes got TT+ AK I would say, as theres a raise and a flat before her.
    Its shove or fold for me, callings bad, I want to see all 5 cards with AK.
    The sensible play is to fold, as you're 2nd fav here most of the time.

    But if your in a gambling mood, you can say to hell with it, and push any ways! Theres worse spots.
  24. Muck it... is there a need to be gambling your tourney life with Ace hi?
    I'm sure you can find a better spot to get in.
    What are you putting him/her on?? I'd say a pp for sure...
  25. If you think your going to get called, which you did, wouldn't shove. Racing is fun but dangerous. Ask michael schumacher
  26. [QUOTE=thearthurdog;5709587]...not sure I could find the fold button in that spot.[QUOTE]

    There's a fold button ?!?

  27. Not enough info. Unless I missed something, this thread doesn't state the starting stacks or buy-in.

    -If $5 and below, I'm basically getting it in. Unless,
    -You starting stack was 1,500, then I'm folding. If you've quadrupled, you have more to protect. If you've only doubled, don't fold that in a $5.50- you're not even into a cash spot yet!! If it's 1,500 starting, your stack probably has you in a cash spot at that blind level. However, if it's 3,000 starting chips, you still have a lot of work to do and aint getting it done folding the 4th best starting hand pre-
    -$11 and above, withou a read, repsect their push and fold.

  28. On a different note, is rebecca's play here the right one? Do you 3bet/call with JJ here or just flat pre?

    You would have to know for certain that your opponent is 3 betting light to gamble here. They might be 3 betting AQ/AJ but if they aren't then AK is just behind. You dont have much invested so without reads this is just a fold.

  30. I get so tilted by proponents of shoving here. Seriously... 56.5 BBs all in pre flop with AceKing??!!! That's ridiculous, imo. It's not a thinking person's strategy without solid reads that we are ahead of villian... which we have ZERO reason to believe. I'm SNAP folding here, as it's just far too early to want to take this ridiculous risk for our tournament life. And for those that are getting it in here, I suggest scratch tickets or slot machines for a hobby, as "hoping" for a freaking coinflip for over 55 big blinds is not my idea of intelligent play, and is simply a sign of a gambooooool. Horribad shove imo.
