  1. <pre>So the original raiser is an absolute maniac,
    I've had him to my left for the past few hours of this tournament.
    His play is absolutely random, for the most part.
    Thus I'm giving his open NO respect.
    The guy who reships, however, has been pretty tight.
    With only about an hour with him at my table,
    and NO real knowledge of him otherwise,
    I find this spot to be a bit more difficult than it may seem at first glance.
    Assuming he's not a regular, does AQs play well enough vs. his shoving range
    to merit a call (taking in account of course, all the dead money, etc...)?

    If you assign him a relatively tight re-shoving range of 55+, ATs+, KQs,AJo+;
    AQs has around 48% equity not taking into account all the dead money...Also,
    his re-shove range could very well be tighter than this...

    I will post the results in a few hours...

  2. with 2 BBs i just call and pray for a triple up. if u win the hand u are back in the game, and u dont have many other chances left for that to happen with ur stack size

    edit: oops, HH changed. much tougher spot. this is pretty much trying to figure out if the reshipper has the same read as u on the opener. if you think so then id say call. if not and the guy is a nit like u said then id fold.

    completely readless idk... i might nit it up... thats what i prolly do for the most part, so my vote is for fold.
     
  3. I think you posted the wrong hand

  4. Def did, should be fixed now. MyB.

  5. Based on your read, and assuming he's not a regular...I lean toward fold. How often is he shoving worse than A10s, AJo, 55, maybe KQ? Edit...I didn't see your range in the op originally.
