I had a disagreement with a friend about this hand, and I want your opinion. The disagreement wasn't about how to play the hand, but rather about how most people would play it.

Seat 2: brakin1 (2910 in chips)
Seat 3: Hero (1250 in chips)

Seat 6: pitharchi (2280 in chips)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [3h Kh]
pitharchi: folds
RobeConDa: folds
Texas_Til: folds
NessX: folds
URanIDIOT: folds
brakin1: folds
Hero: ??

What I would like to know from you is:

A. How would you play this hand?
B. How would you expect a random player to play this hand?

Have fun!

*EDIT* The disagreement has been resolved. Feel free to give your opinions anyway, and for my take on this hand/results of disagreement, see page 3 of this thread

It's a turbo....

a) I'm shoving almost every time

b) I think the average player at this level limps 30% of the time, raises 3x the blinds 30% of the time, folds 20% and shoves 20%

i think i might shove, i think alot of player 3x here

It would depend on what I anticipated the BB's calling range to be. If he was a tight player all the way to a normal player, I would shove with no thought. If he was on the looser side and like to make weak calls in the BB, I fold.

I would bet the vast majority of $16 turbo SnG grinders now would shove here 80-90% of the time.

Most players shove here. I do not know anyone that wouldn't shove a suited K with 12 bb.

With 12.5 BB in that position i'm shoving.

At the $2-$12 buy in level I play, I would see a lot of players fold that, or raise 2x and then fold to a reraise.

Id give him a walk most times.

shove. And I don't think it matters if it's a turbo or not. i'm no sng player but the shove seems standard. I think graps answered part b

I think the only way wouldn't shove this is if I knew the player was not a restealer and folded too much. Then I might mix in 2-3x, but in a trubo I suspect that is probably not optimal.

I really think we have too many chips to be shoving. With 1k id prolly ship it errrytime.

Agree with this, I'm almost always shipping <1k.

god damnit

1. limp 70% shove 30% (and im a decent turbo player)

2. they would prob limp

Looking at the fact that we have 12 big blinds makes it a shove, but if you look at ur M (which is 1250/150 = a little more than 8) makes it not a super standard shove (tho im still shoving some of the time)

Another thing to factor in is how long the current level will stay at what it is (if theres like 1 min left u shove everytime but if it just changed to this level i am more likely to limp)

I'm all-in.

this made me lol

Its true! If you ever play straws, where someone has to get the big straw... if you see a bunch of people with small straws and you have 2 straws left to pick, the likelihood of you getting the big straw is much better.

Maybe I'm just stupid :<

I didn't include the part that says "K3 sucks" but I figured that was irrelevant at the time :>

a.
i'm probably folding this majority of the time. especially if the villian is The_Venetian. the rest of the time i will limp if the player is shown to be weak. it's a little much to be shoving for 150 at this point, and i haaaate 2.5-4xing here because you're probably going to get shoved on a whole lot...then what?

b. i think a random will limp and fold to any pressure, or 3x and fold to shove.
