1. Ok we are both deep stacked in the 80k on UB. with 90ish or so players left. And this hand comes up. What is the best play here and why? Am i commited to the pot here? Is there any way i can fold? Or Do you think my 4 bet reraise was bad here? Ive played against Chipsteela many times and know he is a solid agressive player capiple of 3 and 4 betting weak. ( Ill submit the full hand history later) would like a few ideas on this hand.
    Thanks

  2. doubt im ever folding here getting 2-1...i wouldnt 4bet if im not callin
     
  3. I might 3 bet fold there, I think your dominated here or a 3:1 dog more often than your flipping. Definitely find a better spot with 50 BB behind

    I mean i think it is obvious he has to have a hand. There is no way he is 5 bet jamming here without a monster. But if Im going to reraise to 8k i have the intintion of calling if he jams i just have an extreemly hard time putting in over 1/3 of my stack and folding. I guess if you know 95% of the time you are drawing pretty slim then i should probbaly fold. I mean whats the worst hand he shows up with here? AK maybe JJ? Just a tough spot. Against a normal random i call the reraise in pos and play accordingly. Was playing the player here and got caught in a bad situation.

  6. Yeah unlucky, I do like your 4 bet if you say hes been 3 betting lightly; I think the lower part of his range is JJ here, but I think AK, KK, AA are also in that range so fold to this more than often. I do like your play though given the read.

    I agree with this

    I also think that you should have flat called since you did have a strong hand hope to catch a decent flop and then let him hang himself by firing cause you know he will be firing almost any flop after 3 betting you and it is like A K if you don't like what you see on the flop your not stuck holding your hand post flop
  8. doubt im 4-bet folding in this spot.

    other spots yes,
    not this spot. Don't 4-bet if u don't have a plan when he 5-bets
     
  9. Ur getting a little over 2:1 16k to call to try and win 32k+. I think you have to call. and bink the Q or the A.
  10. id prolly flat cuz we have pos and 4bet folding sucks and 4b calling is meh most of the time

    +1.
    also his bet sizing seems really strong given he will be OOP and you raised from MP.
  12. your 4bet/call was aweful against his 5bet shoving range, and 4bet/folding would be even worst.

    Either flat the 3bet or just fold depending on your opening range from that spot.

    Think of it this way if he never 5bet shove u light. Then you are basically risking 24k to win the 3bet pot which is about 5.5k. At best u fold jj,

    he's not folding ak,qq's at 60bb

  13. Flat pre for sure.
     
  14. If you guys dont have a dynamic where you could potentially induce a light 5 bet from him then this is just burning money. Also your sizing pre is going to narrow his range even more since he definitely isnt going to assume your folding after putting a third of your stack in pre. You're crushed here unless you guys have some absurd history which I really doubt. Like people said, just flat... really no need to turn AQ into a bluff, and instead play vs his whole 3 betting range preflop.

  16. My std comment every Chipsteela post:

    He has KQo and you lose anyway.

    My real post:

    flat his 3 bet and reevaluate. You're only good to his shove here like 3% of the time.
  17. pretty much flatting here a ton, esp with his bet sizing and him being oop and making it >3x... never 4 betting with out some history or dynamic knowing he'd 5 ball worse, any hand he is 3 betting here that u beat u are losing value from post flop and i rly think his bet sizing is pretty fn strong... just imo

  18. i do like a flat here, although tbh given the dynamic its possible that 4b/get it in is optimal...

    how does it feel to know that chipsteela's 88 beat my A10 3 handed in this and i think went on to win? lol

    so i'm assuming u called and he had AK or something

    yea with history...

  20. Yeah so if he continually plays 88 in this tourney, AQ isn't really a hand he should be desperate with unnecessarily.

    But yeah, I seriously doubt he's super light here like some people suggest he might be. Wish my laptop worked the right way when it's not hooked up to a monitor so I could find out :)

    Here is the rest of the hand. Knowing i was drawing pretty slim I felt folding was terrible and felt that I had to call. And actually wiffed Quite a few outs. Anyways thanks for the advise. Here is the rest of the hand.
