  1. OK, so I wanted to post this hand on Saturday, but I forgot. This the Saturday 80k on FTP. I know LeoEleven In a reg and he seems like a solid one. Dont think anything standed out about my table image. I decided to flat pre with AK to mix things up and try flatting for once, also if i 3 bet he probably folds aq or aj. SO postflop my play seems pretty standard to me on flop and turn. Bet the flop almost 2/3rd pot to protect hand and get value, and checked turn for pot control. So when LeoEleven shoves the river for little over potsize bet(pot was 2200) what do you think he has and do you make this call as played. I'll post results later, and I'll let you guys know if I folded or called after some responses.

    Thank You.

  2. i call it. his line doesnt make sense

    unless its like AQ, KQ, missed draw like AJcc?

    it could be 66 trying to get value that he missed from previous streets but i call
     
  3. I dont think I ever fold here. His flatting range from the BB is really wide. Your hand is also so underrepresented. Looks like a missed flush draw that backed into 2 pair or J10of clubs which would be pretty much a cooler.
  4. I'm feeling 90% sure it isn't 10Jc.
  5. i dunno man. I like a fold. Seems really bad to bluff shove here and like he's trying to get value from some 2 pair hands. he either has JT or 66 imo with it highly weighted towards 66.
     
  6. although i dont think he is doing this with complete air, i think you have him beat the majority of the time. he probably doesnt think you are as strong as you really are (maybe he put you on a small PP like 77-1010 or suited connectors because your line looks pretty weak).

    i think your hand is REALLY disguised here and the pot is big enough for him to shove the river with KJ or QJ and it be +EV for him the majority of the time. i HIGHLY doubt he shoves J10 here, he would probably put out a value bet and hope you call or shove on him.

    the line you took (flat pre, big c-bet post and check turn) definitely screams QJ or 99ish...i think you have to call here.
  7. I think you're ahead here 99% of the time, and the check on the turn really threw him off imo. Don't know how you possibly fold, very disguised hand, and as played it looks like you were leading weak on the flop, and decided to slow down. If he has anything that has you beat he's going to value bet the river, not shove and expect to be called.
  8. I'm pretty sure I fold and am somewhat happy about it tbh. Not sure if you knew this, but LeoEleven=thechronic420. He's not shoving KQ for value, and I'd say its highly unlikely he'd shove AQ for value either. If he knows you're a thinking player, he'd only be shoving worse two-pairs/missed clubs as bluffs to get you to make this kind of hero fold, but I don't think he's making this play enough of the time to make a call profitable. I'd say he's got JT or 66 like 2/3 of the time, and the rest of his range 1/3.
     
  9. Well, honestly if I had 10J there and that A rolled off the thing I would do is value shove exactly because the A makes so many strong two pair hands that I don't think my opponent could fold.

    I think the question here is if he would call 10J pre-flop and on the flop. Pre-flop maybe, especially suited, but obv 10Jcc he would raise on the flop, imo, so not that. Calling the flop oop w/ 10j is pretty bad imo also. So because of that maybe 10J is only a small part of his range. Honestly, I think he should also be raising a set on the flop and I think he should be raising KQ, so really I am not sure where he is at.

    The only hands I imagine just calling are weak kings that he wants to re-evaluate, then when you check turn he might think KJ is good. When that A rolls off maybe he is shoving thinking that if you just hit your A, with like the A high flush draw, there is now way you can call his shove, so he gets equity by being ahead of what he perceived your range is after you check turn, and because he gets you to fold (maybe) hands that just sucked out on him with top pair.

    So now the question is, is he the kind of player who would make this river bluff-shove with KJ? You said he is a solid reg, but I am pretty sure there are multiple styles of solid regs, some do this with KJ, some check KJ hoping for a free showdown. With absolutely no reads, I think it is a call.
  10. man i dont know about you all, but if this guy is a 'reg' then that flat on the flop, for like 20% of effecctive stacks, in a 4 way pot really freaks me out. He prolly aint turning something like ATcc into a bluff here, he's going to check it. At best your chopping imho. and those of you saying if he has you beat hes going to value bet it...he only has like a psb left.

    all of this! seems like most people itt is just thinkin 'omg i has top two get it in!!'

    and i did not know that's thechronic whcih makes me like a fold even better.
     
  12. I want to say fold but your hand is so under repped here. Then again the only hand that makes sense for him to show up with after flatting 600 on the flop is 66, unless he played 10Jcc really passively which I doubt. Tough spot. results?
  13. why are u flatting pre? Just put that guy in and avoid this whole mess. As played i have no idea... chronic420 is obviously a great player so you gotta think of things from his perspective. It looks to me like hes hoping u have the A otherwise i doubt hed ever shove here as a bluff (its a horrible bluff). I still dont know if id be able to fold at the time so meh just 3bet/get it in pre vs that 2200 chip stack and be over the hand.

  14. hes got 3200 to start - over 40 bbs....seems pretty deep to get it in pre.

    As played think you gotta call - dont think set checks the turn, you beat better 2 pair combos - even something like j10s prob fires turn with that kind of draw.

  20. Meh, didnt see the early position raiser was that short until now, but as I said Im just trying to mix it up with AK pre, I'll wait for some more responses until I post results and give my analysis of the hand and river shove. Good posts so far I like it

    this should be the very first info you seek when faced with a raise... what is villian's stack?

  22. This hand is very very interesting. At first glance, I want to snap fold because ur hand should be fairly obvious (either AK or AQ) given the flop and turn action. However, on the other hand he most likely thinks your scared to get it in (given the turn check) and can exploit that by shoving the river. His river shove looks like a value shove and I would probably fold, but lets not forget that LeoEleven (Chronic420) is a good player and can take this hand down with atc very often because as played, lab rat looks scared to get it in.

    Overall, I fold because I don't want to play a guessing game here and would rather conserve a decent stack. However, I don't hate it if you called here becuase he can show up with air as this is a pretty decent sized pot and your line seems like a scared AK. Your hand was turned face up in this spot, and it really comes down to how he percieves you as a player and if he thinks your capable of making this call.

    Fold and move on, but I don't hate it if you called given the way it was played out.

    EDIT: The river ace doesn't really change this hand in my opinion. He gets it in earlier with JT, and if you had him beat before the ace, you still have him beat. The ace just gives you two pair but he should never have a worse two pair and should also rarely ever have a straight. He should have 666 here most of the time.

    Timing also matters to me on this hand. The faster he shoves, the more and more I want to fold as it seems he is shoving that ace hoping it hit our hand.

    He shouldo also never have air because he should never be floating the flop without any sort of hand. He could have a missed club draw that backed into two pair but he should know that you never have KQ so you never call him without better two pair so he shouldn tbe value shoving a missed club draw with two pair. He should have 666 close to 90% of the time here i think.
     
  23. I call without much thought.
  24. one of the easier folds ive seen

    <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
  25. I initially thought I would call but after thinking about it i think he has 666 here a huge percentage of the time. Also I agree with dd22 that this shold be a 3b pre.

    Ok so I ended up folding and I didn't even tank about folding. I really thought he had a set of 6s or JT. One of the main reasons I folded though was because his overshove made it appear to me like he was hoping that the ace on the river hit or improved my hand thus hoping Id call. At first, when I showed this hand to people they didnt understand why I folded. "He could be shoving a lower 2 pair. He probably missed his flush. etc etc" And I really thought people here would flame my nitty fold. But I was really adament on the fact that I dont really think I beat any hand here for value.

    We gotta remember he's a reg. I dont think he ever has KQ here as played. If he has kq he has to raise this drawy flop like everytime imo, and whats he hoping to get called by on the river in all honesty? He's not a fraid of me having aq or JT checking behind the turn? And in a multi way pot like this I dont see him calling the flop with AQ. He's ranked 100th on pocketfives fwiw, and I think he knows better than to be flatting flop with aq here. And lets says he had AcXc then why is he shoving the river when the ace hits? For value? To bluff?

    I do however believe he can have some kind of flush draw here bluffing, but I really doubt it to be honest. Just didn't seem like a good spot to me for him to be bluffing. The blinds are only at 40/80 too, but I do think its possible. Maybe like a 89cc trying to make me make a big laydown or putting me on like a KJ AJQJ type of hand

    What I really thought it was to me was either JT or set of 6s, not positive which one, although was leaning towards the set. His snap shove the river as I previously stated looked to me as if he was hoping the ace hit me, not necessarily trying to represent the ace or shoving a lower 2 pair. I dont know maybe Im off on my analysis a bit but I just really thought I was beat as played by a good thinking player and I didnt even put much thought into the fold. As it looks by the posts, it looks as if that the people that said fold(no offense to anyone who posted) are players that are very good and for the most part know about Leoeleven or what a thinking player ususally has here and felt he has a set of 6s or JT majority of the time here. And to those that said 3 bet pre, I do 3 bet pre here 95% of the time, was just mixing it up though

    Thank you again to everyone who posted. Would be really nice if LeoEleven could post here and tell us what he had too! If he doesnt respond I will try to pm him and ask him tonight
