  1. Just getting back into online poker with golf over for the fall and I'm not supposed to swing a club for a couple weeks to heal an aching wrist. Been playing some FT $13 and $26 90 man KOs to ease back into MTTs. Would appreciate your opinions.

    Hand 1

    Smoke Tha Zags ???

    No reads on opponent. Full ring I'll fold pretty easily. 7 handed is this close? What should my reshipping range be?

    Hand 2

    Kinda lost on this one.
     
  2. the first one I personally fold just because I don't like being the second person in a hand that's somewhat marginal. Plus there are quite a few people to act behind you. I'm sure a lot of people would say ship it though.

    The second hand I let go. Flushlight might be a reg (seen him before but don't have any notes) and might call you a little wider than most people. I'd rather push with something with at least some kind of straight or flush possibilities as opposed to just K high.

    The third hand I 3 bet call a shove. From my experience the early 4x bet is usually not JJ+. It could most definitely be AK though.
  3. Fold/Fold/Call and play a flop imo. If you 3 bet call shove, you're at best flipping.

  4. i like a fold in the first two...with no reads zags dont really like reshippin even tho it looks hella strong you don't have tha tmuch fold equity and we don't know if were jammin for value. The 2nd hand your still deep enough to find some other spots than jam it in here wth K rag and 12 bb's...the third hand i like an overcall bein this deep. Your hand is way under repped and 3b callin pre seems pretty spew this early even thou its a squeezed pot. Peel a flop play it underrepped oop and see what develops.

    These games are to soft to be gettin it in with TT here this deep/early with your stack. Try to maximize ur utility with playin the most amount of hands and pots you can in these. I'm a huge fan of pot control lines against scrubs.

  5. If he had position I don't think flatting with 1010 is horrible but I can't see how that's a good play OOP. It seems like that would basically be set mining.
  6. I think the majority of the plan here iwth TT should be a set mine but if ur gonna 3b call pre then c/r callin a lot of textures isnt bad either seeing that ne hand villian is going to lead call an allin with is the same as his 4b range pre...so might as well try and get some value post out of spazzes or semi bluffs
     
  7. fold/fold/flat would be my donk move, but i dont know why
  8. #1)easy fold, u have no fold equity and 5 ppl left to act

    #2)i like the all in but make it like 2/3 ur stack, looks scarier (13bb on btn w K high looks pretty awesome to me)

    #3)make like it 1500 and go with it, looks like a squeeze, first guy is short, second guy is prob weak since most people at these stakes dont have the temperament to flat w w big PP's in late pos. gl
  9. Hand 1: I fold. There's still a bunch of people behind and you're probably not even ahead of the utg raiser, so fold.

    Hand 2: Your stack is fine. No need to shove here. I'd like a shove with less than 9bbs, but 13bbs... find a better spot.

    Hand 3: I would personally flat and evaluate on flop

    this...

    The first hand my shove range would be AJs+, AQo+ 99+
  11. Hand 1 everyone agrees its a fold. the shoving range above looks about right too without reads.

    Hand 2 I put in an icm calculator and it is a fold unless you know both players are calling very tight.

    Hand 3 not really sure calling seems ok but 3b/c against the shorter stack would probably be +EV
  12. definately fold, shove, fold, not sure what u people are thinking
