  2. eh, unless this guy is like the biggest nit on the planet, where like he's only getting in JJ+,AK, then i can't see how you can fold. so ya, against 99.9% of players i would not fold

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

  3. ^^^^ Obv this.^^^

    I may not be too happy putting it in here but after commiting the 4400 i think your commited with TT.

    Shitty spot because the 3 better is obv going to call your shove. Hopefully he has 77-99 but Im pretty sure he woke up with a hand like gags described JJ-AA AK and probally AQ.

    He should be expecting you to 4 bet shove after you left yourself 15 bigs so Im sure he planned to call your shove. Unless I KNOW this dude would only be 3 betting here with JJ+ Ill lay it down but as gags said 99% of the time I cant fold here. Very read dependent.

    Reason: love typos. Im sure there are more lol
  4. So you have about 17BBs preflop. Unless you want to be the nit folding here is not an option. He might even fold if you shove?!?! Even if he calls your going to be a coin flip most of the time, dominating his smaller PP some of the time and dominated yourself not much of the time. At 25BB's you COULD fold....Not at 17BBs.

    Not in a million years does this dude fold here unless he is absolutely terribad. 3 betting 6 bigs of a shorter stacks 17 total bigs when he origionally raised then folding makes no sense.

    The 3 better had to plan on a 4th bet being a ship. Hes not folding...

    I would think you were beat most of the time with a small percentage of the time seeing the 3 better flip AK, AQs, 77-99. I dont see him 3 betting you with pairs up to 66 unless you have been very loose so I would assume 77-99 a minimal amount of times AK, AQs more times and JJ-AA more times. That being said Im still not folding UNLESS this dude has been extremely nitty and even then it would be tough.

    Now a live game may be completely different but its not a live tourney

  7. Guys obv was never folding but I think the 0.01 percent of players that gags mentioned becomes more like 20 percent in the million and the warmun, and my read was this guy was even too nitty to three bet aq, but i went with the maths and could not fold

    Huh? What do you NEVER folding. I've seen a fold here before from players. Believe it or not most players in the warmup don't know anything about stack size and if they feel they're beat they'll fold.

  10. i think raise folding is completely out of the question here.. you have 17bbs and TT is definately catching our range here. not sure what specific reads are but against a random im never ever open folding here... u might as well fold preflop lol
  11. While the game you're playing is far above my level at the moment. I think you're only play here is to shove all in over the top. Folding means you have just chucked valuable blinds away. Calling just isn't an option here because you will either hit hard or miss entirely and get no value. Therefore, put it all out there and hope for your mark to defend out of pride with complete air.

    this makes no sense....if he is too nitty to 3bet aq then its clearly a fold as his range is like jj+ AK and you are so dominated by this
  13. I didnt have a 100 percent read that he wouldnt 3 bet aq...just a feeling as he had played very tight up to that point and every time hed three bet hed had the goods...my point was, is there anyway I can fold with this short a stack, if i am unable to completely pigeon hole his range to ak jj +...hope that makes more sense...

  14. Did I miss it, or nobody proposed shipping it at once? For me open with 17BB looks strong and I fold like 8s for that, but I would consider calling an open shove with 88.
