    thats just it.. u looked at it without even thinking .. if ur open shoving then decide to 2.3x open utg.. that has to be a sign of strength 9 times out of 10.. not to mention its a 1k buy in..the more output ive received leads me to think its a snap fold.. i need qq+ and mayb ak in that spot

  4. Didnt see it was a 1k buyin. But I agree the 2.3x open always looks way too strong to me, but if it was such a big buyin, this person could also be doing that with a weaker hand? Too many mind games going on I think for there to be a "right" play. More based on feel/read. If you feel that he was shoving light earlier than the 2.3x means he's stronger (which I agree makes sense), then it would be a fold that you wont be happy with but one you have to make i guess.

  5. raise more pre flop, youll get him to fold out 99 more often then not.

  10. hes opening from 16bb utg.... pretty gross spot, tho i know some regs who will r/f <20 bb stacks in that spot... if hes opening from like 22BB its a gr8 spot to jam but here it might be fold... just sux bc he might be r/c like 88 or 99 as well so ur not in that bad of shape against his value range... and if he intends to r/f that stack with a lot of hands utg, then theres no way u can fold TT here... it really is a player dependant spot... also, when are the blinds going up? that would prob factor into what the optimal play is as well.

  11. One thing to factor in about the 3 of the last 8 hands that were won...

    Assuming the blinds hadn't changed over those hands, 8 hands ago he would've had close to 6300. That puts him in the 10xBB range and he would be all in or fold. Now that he's got 16XBB utg, he no longer has to shove with the same range.

    I don't know the player but I think he if he was open shoving, this would be a prime time to do that with JJ as his image is now reckless and he will get some thin calls. I think he realizes that with the over the top all in you make that he realizes what his image is and he is beating most of the range that you have, although the caller might have him beat. Even if the caller has him beat and you don't he still has 10xBB for the next hand. He puts you in a spot because what can you do on the flop if you flat call? You don't know where you are at and I'm betting you think he'll open shove, so it's fold or raise. It's a tough fold but one that you have to consider given the sudden change in his play. (Having said that I think post hand discussion makes it clearer and at least 90% of us call even though most of us wouldn't be really happy about it...)

    thanks man.. respect.. and thanks for the great feedback

    was 15 minute levels blinds were going up in 2-3 min i believe at that point.. tough to honestly say without being results oriented . but with game flow and the dynamics at the table.. 10s are a fold.. but if were folding 10s.. doesnt that mean we should also be folding jj in that spot as well.. .should our range be qq+ and the occasion ak in that spot to give the pile? tx again guys.. and gl on the felt!

  13. This seems like a no brainer to get it in here...You think you're gonna be able to get it in much better once the blinds hit you with that stack???

    You were confident you were 4-1??? This seems absurd. Is he always showing up with a bigger pair? If so then I guess this is a snap fold...? You said yourself he is a LAG player.

    unfortunately, even tho hes a crazy lag.. with his stack size, being utg, opening for 2.3x instead of an open shove, hes almost always going to have a bigger pair here. I think he has JJ+ and AKs here almost 100% of the time, so I think QQ might actually be the worst hand to get all in with here... id honestly rather jam 75c on the cutoff for 12bb when folded to, then to get all in with TT or JJ in this spot.

  19. snap folding..... no way his range is balanced here (nothing against jdpc just that in an event liek this no reason to balance vs tons of satty qualifiers)
