  2. Set of 10's seems like a hand, the way he played it, but i think AJ is certanly a hand he has here most of the time, maybe aces as well trying to get value by not shoving pre flop but i doubt that

    snap him off with his QJ.
  4. not many hands that you can be behind too, set of 10s or jacks is unlikely as it was played out...I would expect to see something like kq and j10. A hand like that would pounce on your flop raise, I think it comes across as weak. I dont think you can lay this one down, wp.

    What's really in his range though? Tens and jacks easily but is he really going to shove AJ/QQ+ after a c-r in a 3way pot? QK and 99 as draws in his range too. Realistically I think you're up against a draw or behind...
     
  6. There is another guy in this hand who cold called my 16k reraise on flop thats yet to act behind me as well.

  7. call then punch monitor when he has 79
  8. I'm all-in.I expect to see them show up with two pairs, over pairs, combo draws, sometimes oversets and sometimes straights, but I'm not folding--board is just too wet IMO.Pair the board on the turn dealer please.
  9. what are there locations and why are you considering folding
     
  10. im not folding

    Very rarely would i even consider folding a set after i 3 bet but this time i think it warrented some time to think it over.
    I considered folding because i would still have 50bb and i believe i have a huge advantage against the avg player deep in these fields. I thought the original raiser could easily have a set of 10's or JJ or a huge draw i really dont believe he would do this with qq+ on that board and the other guy obv has somthing prob draw heavy with his flat to my 16850 reraise and is left to act behind me.

    Its stars prob euro's obv

    What about Q9? Throw the monitor out the window?

    Seriously though... His most likely holding is QQ or a pair and a draw. Maybe he's got overs with straight and flush draws. 1010 and JJ could be possible. But if that's the case, you're stacking off anyway. More often than not you are going to be ahead with your set. And if you're not... Curse the poker gods and proceed to throw shit.
     
  13. sounds like black is an idiot stacking off with aj.

    i bet profiteer has a flush draw with the 9d and maybe a pair with it.

    let me guess, you threw it away and the draw got there and that is why your posting this? :)

    having 50bb with the edge you have against the field doesn't make this the worst laydown though

    Pretty good read kid but i was posting it cause it was a intresting hand where i very rarely fold, never thought shitbird had aj or i snap it off all day. Didnt matter much because i ended up raisin with KK about a hour later and profiteer shoves A2C like he knows the Ace is coming gg me.

    I don't understand where your advantage comes from if you are folding in these spots. A lot of people always uses lines like this in hand analysis, when ultimately deciding to fold, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

    Most advantages in poker come from accurately being able to assess hand ranges and then compounding this series of +EV decisions. You have, admittedly, got a very aggressive player shoving here who is capable of executing very big bluffs. I don't see how you can't believe that you crush his range here. Sure, he will show up w/ better hand sometimes but nearly often enough.

    Your main concern is the flatter. Sure his flat here is a little puzzling, but I would not be any more inclined to weigh it as a draw, combo draw, 2 pair, or higher set. this is such a draw heavy board and I can't imagine that he is going to sit on a set of 10s or Js after this action on this type of flop, especially when he is playing out of position. There is very little merit to trying trap on this board in a multi way pot when the action is very heavy and you already likely have one or more players who could possibly stack off here. I think he most likely is thinking his flat will freeze the action and he can hope to pick off a cheap river card. which suggests is range is more polarized to draws, pair and draw, or double draw hands that have little show down value now but lots of implied potential.

    going all in here, against 2 ranges that you are ahead of, gives you the best chance of winning this tournament. where do you expect to create advantages against weaker players when you pass up on +EV decisions for massive pots? Seems like a great chance to win up to a 190bb pot in a big touranment with a sick structure.
