    he has 88 or 99 or some other combo draw way more than he has you beat

    Gags30 is an instructor at PocketFives Training . To get more of his advice and to watch his training videos, click here.

  4. im going to say almost always he has kq diamonds or like A8 AT AJ diamonds ect. Set is out of the question, if he somehow does have it, UL. Cant fold.
  5. I think you have to call here. I dont think he is flatting KK/AA here pre and you gotta believe he would have tried to get more value out of any set. I think his range is 88-JJ, and diamond draw. I get it in
  6. [ ] 50bb deep

    Set shouldn't be out of the question if the guy has a clue. Set has to raise this board not just because of the draws that could beat him, but because half the deck will kill any action.

  9. I think he has some sort of combo draw, or even a medium pair with a gutshot and he is simply trying to bet you out.2 pair I'm not worried about hardly ever here.Since this is posted I'm going to take a shot in the dark this is the time he had you beat after you called?
  10. Yeah he ended up having top set...but afterwords i put some thought into it.....and was running some math and after i thought about it...i figured to look @ it like this

    his range is is obv a set 55-77.... 44 88 is possible 99-JJ possible KK-AA possible

    i don't think he's going to have AQdd or AKdd since i doubt he's flatting pre but maybe so i included all Ace's he might flat with suited and even put in A8dd.... TJdd QJdd KQdd all possible...so basically his range if super wide is....about 19 hands

    of those i have 5 of the 19 i'm crushed.....

    2 of the 19 TT-JJ i've got him crushed....

    1 of the 19 99 i'm pretty well favored...

    and the other 11 i'm going to be @ best about a 62% favorite and actually more than half of those closer to 55%ish....

    so i guess i was really just curious to hear responses.... i think strength of field has to be factored in also.... with 300ish people left in a 1500 person tourney (weak field) with 50bb's your obv in good shape.... i think the key is to look @ this spot closer and think....do you wanna basically be slightly better than a coin flip to get a monster stack with 300 people left....already stacked @ 50bb's...

    IDK that's why i posted
