  2. 6 handed with the CL mini raising UTG? absolutely never. You ran into the very top of CLs ridiculously huge range.
  3. yes fold imo. your facing a utg raiser and a reship. what do you beat here. at very least your up against a 3 over combo ak and aq or Ak, QQ or aQ vs kq or aq vs qq obv not every time but come on pretty simple fold here. im guessing this was a turbo but no matter i still fold.

    edit: didnt think stacks would be that shallow in a 11d rebuy
  4. i guess 10bigs is shallow enough for a ship here but i still dont like it at all you have absolutely ZERO fold equity and are up against the utg table chip leader.
  5. Getting them in there 99% of the time, 11r is out of my bankroll but if I was taking a shot, I could probably find the fold button hoping for a payjump. Given proper bankroll and playing for the win; never, ever, ever folding.
     
  6. Pokerchief: You're levelling, right?

    No, I dont fold here. I'm getting it in and I'm VERY excited about it too!

    Start folding medium hands and tighten up, or, you will get owned like you did here.

    huh???

    JJ isn´t a medium hand six handed... What you´r waiting for with 11-15bbs?

    this seems sound
     
  14. you made the right play, cooler obv, but im jammin all day there....those are the kinda hands you have to win to win the tourny....you made it that far its not the time to sit back and wait for aa or kk, gotta do your work...utg is most likely a steal and the reship can be anything from 55+ imo...just my 2 cents

    well played
     
  15. Seems to me that a number of players at this level will jam with a wide range, then get cute with the mini-raise holding KK/AA, even on a short stack-this has got to be the biggest tell in the world.

    Without FE, I'm inclined to pass this.
  16. Ignore all the "fold" posts. It's 100% shove time in this spot.
  17. THIS IS NEVER A FOLD!

    ..I dont remember everything about the hand and im sure stack sizes were different but didnt phil ivey fold jj at a 6,7,or 8 handed wsop main event final table to a single raiser..i know the guy in this thread has less big blinds than ivey did, but you can fold jj here..plus if he folds guy with a10 gets busted and he moves up in the money..and how much can you like jj in a 3 way pot..kinda easy fold..
  19. edit..not easy fold..but makes sense to fold in this spot
  20. AA+
     
  21. Folding here would be bad unless you had some sick soul read

    LOL dude, he has 11 BBs and jacks. Two of them! Ship it in and do the Super Bowl Shuffle.
  23. seems like youre only worried about elenitsa and that person had AT. never fold this. hey at least you got 5th and not 6th! take that small win.
  24. Easy get it in tho.

    yea and I'm pretty sure he was wrong, just like this guy woulda been if he folded. You're simply not going to find ANY better spots to acquire thechips that you'll need to win this tourney--get it in and be super fuckin cised about it.EDIT: were also gettin over 2-1 if we know UTG CL is calling (seems to be the consensus), you're not assigning a range that we aren't getting the right price to call against. That applies to pretty much any player, especially an active CL. LOL @ folding.
  29. the amount of new accounts racking up absurd amount of posts giving terrible advice gives me hope!
     
  30. No No everyone has it wrong this is not a fold or a call or a ship! Everyone always forgets about the other option. I Check!
