  1. I have zero reads on opener and/or 3-bettor....I know what to do in a MTT but im new to CASH and want to know what to do 100+ bb's in.

    First is PREFLOP:

    Full Tilt Poker Game #17805032875: Table Supercharger (6 max) - $0.25/$0.50 - No Limit Hold'em - 4:02:28 ET - 2010/01/22

    Seat 2: Appst08 ($81.75)
    Seat 3: nandaan ($48.50)
    Seat 4: soleus1 ($170.95)
    Seat 5: flyfreeZ ($51.85)
    Seat 6: juxxo ($85.30)
    Appst08 posts the small blind of $0.25
    nandaan posts the big blind of $0.50
    The button is in seat #1
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to Appst08 [Th Td]
    soleus1 folds
    flyfreeZ folds
    juxxo raises to $1.75
    1ll2ll3ll4ll5 raises to $6
    Appst08 has 15 seconds left to act
    Appst08 has requested TIME
    Appst08

    Then AS PLAYED:

    Appst08 raises to $20.75

    My question is can i fold to his 5-bet...I didn't figure out the odds of the call....and again I KNOW THIS IS CASH...but what's my play if

    1. OPENER SHIPS

    2. 3-bettor ships

    3. opener/3-bettor flats or both flat
     
  2. flat pre

    As played : i fold if any shoves

    If one/they flat : i hate poker
  3. how bout just folding T9 with no read LOL

    if its rush poker then fold and jump right into next hand
  4. thnx fou...really tanked for a while about preflop

  6. Flat pre.

    You don't have to give up on non T flops. Re-evaluate post-flop and you can c/r on some dry boards and fold if they come over you. You're not really "set mining" here because ur hand has value despite being out of position. You can really force your opponents to play face up postflop here on some boards. Obviously fold out the boards that are generically hitting your opponents range.

    This is just one way to approach it, i'm sure others would just set mine here but I like to try to mix it up.

    Can you give an example of this? Maybe a hand history or something from an MTT where this play can be used. I am sure I do this at some point but more so unknowingly.

    AS for the hand, I flat and re-eval. QQ I think I make that raise tho.
  10. ive played a ton of hands and i can honestly say ive never seen someone request time lol but yea id flat pre
  11. I prob just get it in for a 6 max
     
  12. Ran into a similar situation last night. I raised with pockets 10's, player after me raised and the player after him shipped. Of course, it was insta-fold.

    10 10 < JJ < QQ. Community cards didn't help anyone including myself (if I would of stayed in the hand).
