    tep1: raises 400 to 600

    steban2007: raises 1970 to 2570 and is all-in

    My thoughts: tep1's range should be wide, but he covers me.

    and I'm so bad i dont know what steban's range is..i dont know if its possible for him to just resteal with 910s and stuff. At the time i was thinking A10+ 66+ for him.
  2. meh i need some reads but i usually shove here
  3. sorry was 9tabling. and i'm bad at picking up reads when im multitabling =/

    Guess i'm not gonna get many responses since i had no reads.

    I folded and initial raiser folded. No idea if i made right or wrong move.

  4. i insta fold
  5. I ship it in here. Initial raiser's range is huge and your well ahead of the re-shipper's range. Shove em in, high five the monitor, and be happy when he flips 88.
  6. insta fold...reshipping allday to the initial raisor, but with the reraise, your at BEST up again ak 90% of the time..
  7. ship it in 100% of the time imo. short stack will be shoving really wide here because of the position of the big stacks initial raise. big stack should fold to a shove by you unless he has a legitimate monster. 10s are way ahead against what I think shorty could shove with here, and way ahead of big stacks opening range. easy shove
  8. Thanks for responses people, although i'm still confused on what the right play is. I have a lot of people telling me to insta fold and a lot to insta ship.

    I've shown others this HH and it's a mix on what they would do =/

  9. i shove all in. you have tep1's range crushed and steban can be moving in very light here considering position.. if the action was like utg and utg + 1 it would be a fold, but here since its the CO and the button, TT is way ahead of their ranges, even steban.. ship imo.. UL if tep actually had a monster
     
  10. I think I shove too given the big stacks range.
  11. I say fold I believe your at usually at best racing in this spot. Save your chips specially with where the blinds are and punish them later with a better spot.

    Dude, you answered your own question. Do you think anyone here has a better idea of steban's reship range than you (assuming you're at least decent obv)?

    All I can tell you is that it's usually fine to 3-bet ship here assuming steban isn't a massive nit. And to ANYONE saying snap-fold... are you serious????

    To anyone who agrees with this - how does the guy with 12bbs play 77-99 here?

    "At best racing" is just so far off in this spot, it is a $4/180, we crush the big stacks standard open range, and we are significantly ahead the shorty's re-shoving range.

  18. the average plb score of people say fold is like 100 points. the average score of people who say ship is over 500 points. i think that should give you your answer.
  19. its kinda close i feel but heres the argument for shoving. Ur gonna get the initial raiser to fold out such a large % of his opening range, and u definately cover the shover's range as well. When u do get called by the initial raiser GG pretty much but this will be so rare all other times u should be able to make $$ off it

  20. Double Fist Pump Shove, lose, fire up a new one, Stop Bitching
  21. in this spot you should be shipping 77+ AJs+, TT is a no brainer...
  22. lol @ the wize ass talking about plb scores when people with high plbs play mtts not micro sngs. Personally I wouldnt even think twice about calling here fold/ next hand plz.

    fundamentals and ranges arent changing much in this situation no matter what the buy in. a smart player is a smart player no matter how much they play for. and the people who say fold arent even profitable at the micro stakes.
  24. Hmm SHIIIIIIIPIT..In your spot I would assume that folding might be a leak..IMO

    pretty sure this is an $4 180 man, not exactly a SNG. in a SNG there may be more to discuss re. ICM, but prob still a call/shove.
  26. Folding is just wrong in a $4.40. The big stack opens with a huge range here and he is only calling you with a few hands. As far as the shortstack his range is extremely large also. I think you have to shove and if original raiser has a hand you say kill yourself and call it a day.
     
  27. ship ship ship...ive seen shortstacks like that shove random suited connectors, ace rags, your waaaaaay ahead of his range unless u know hes a nit and grow some balls and dont worry about the other big stack get all the chips in
  28. Wow when i first read the OP the first thing that came to mind immed was ship. That is a raise from a big stack in the cut-off and a shove from the button with ~10 bb's. Im shoving 77+ and A10s+ (maybe too light) AQo+ there prolly (as the button).

    Initial raiser should fold out a high percentage of the time. I used to think I was a nit but maybe Im not? :) I just feel 1010 is way too far ahead of the buttons push range there.

    Take it FWIW though cause I hardly ever play anymore with school work/sporting events :( gl @ the tables

    thank you for not making me type this, i rly dont even think its that close, OR opening raise should be pretty wide, and your ahead of shorties shoving range, get it in
