  1. Cutoff shoves for 12bbs, what do u make of the buttons flat/range? He just got moved to the table and the only hand I see from him is when he took a really weird line with 99, flatted a raise bvb from the bb, called a 4 8 A flop, minraised another bet on a J turn, got it in against A8 and rivered a 9. For a weakish/not competent player do you get this is or fold?

  2. depends if you want to race or not. i would get it in here if he is really incompetent. players like this usually isolate with big pairs. i think you are definately ahead of his range here.
  3. the flats either really strong or a saftey net just incase you ship it. If you think he can fold then its a massive snap shove. If you think he will call 22-77 thats also a shove. you cant just call even if you think he will check it down, you would only be getting under 3 to 1, even if you think you can get some value from him with a set its still bad i think.

    fwiw im folding but im not too excited about it.
     
  4. although your most likely a flip if youre unsure of the range let it go
  5. Im folding here, u can find a better spot imo. A lot of thinking players will flat w/ big pairs here looking for a squeeze play from one of the blinds. Don't fall into that trap!
