  2. He has many chips and you do not-he has some chips invested therefore the call isnt that bad. I am sure if you had mo chips he prob. folds. gl
  3. pretty suprising call imo, i hate it.

  4. well im folding there but against ur specific hand hes about a 3/2 dog which is the price hes getting... but i do agree this is a fold as Arag is basically the only hand he is in good shape against aside from 22-77 assuming u r shoving these as well

    UL bro
  5. He's raising from the cutoff, the bb pushes on him. Given the latest trend of aggression from the blinds he puts you on a restealing range, which honestly could be wide. If he calls and loses only a 5th of his stack, however if he wins he can continue to bully the table and people will be less likely to reship on him light.

    edit**also with only 13.5bbs you should be pushing a wide range in this spot.
  6. i really hope you weren't shoving with the expectation that he'd ever fold

    So in your opinion hes calling every time pez102 pushes in this situation, because surely thats terrible?? considering the stack sizes

  8. goldmine is calling with any 1 face card plus an uno card in that spot.
  9. i would be interested in what anybody else has to say

    Here is some help, ur shove here is HORRIBLE. Hes getting over 1.5 on a call and for example in this situation hes at the bottom of his opening range and hes still only 60 40 versus ur hand. Whenever u are in a spot against a good aggresive big stack player u can either hope hes raising on air and hope u win a 60 40 here or fold because hes never going to be folding here when its a less then 20% of his stack and hes getting close to 1.6 to call.

    So lesson for u here is that he played optimally and u played poorly. hope this helps
     
  11. With your stack size and his stack size hes never raise folding ever.

    Standard.
     
  12. what dpottz said. the guy was callin all day long here. i mean i personally jam here because ur ace beats his range, but hes still calling all day. so u can fold and try and shove on some weaker players who wont make the right calls if u dont like getting it in 60 40

    unless you're a nit like me, im allowed to shove 13-15 BBs over a reraise and get a fold...

    basically anytime you have <13 bbs you have open steal equity but not resteal equity... almost need 15-18bbs
