  1. < 10 hands into the final table, I haven't played with the villain yet. However, I had his table open when we were down to two tables, and I have yet to see this guy just open shove like this. Obviously playing for 1st, what hands should we be calling with here? Also keep in mind that at this point we are confident in our chances at running the table and taking it down.

  2. Personally, I snap with QQ+/AK and maybe call with Jacks. I'm mucking AQ though.
     
  3. QQ+...id prolly fold AK if you think you can outplay the table in the long run

    I'd snap with AA/KK, think and call with QQ/AK, tank then 50/50 call with JJ and muck AQ
     
  5. In my experience, these are usually people afraid to play 8's thru J's. therefore snap QQ+, also what other people said about possible flipping
  6. Im bettin he has aces here utg and is praying for a call...making himself look like a maniac and hopin for a call......me im only calling w/ AA.......now show the hand I wanna see that im right..lol
  7. Snapping QQ-AK+ obv....I would almost definitely call with JJ....TT/AQ I'd probably pick a better spot, as final tables at the $10 level are going to be comprised of at least 75-80% poor players for the most part.....

    Most likely the shover has a hand he doesn't want to play OOP post-flop, I would guess 77-TT/JJ or AK/AQ.....based on the fact that he shoves 70+bbs utg, I would assume that hes not all that great of a player, & for that reason I'd try to wait for a premium holding before I tangled with him for stacks pre....if you're going to pick a borderline spot, I would recommend making sure its BvB, Co vs button, or button vs SB

  13. agree with all other posts (apart from folding KK here) very likely he turns up with AK a big % of the time i guess, though i dont think im folding QQ
