MTT 1st level AJs to large open Definitely folding this. Definitely fold this even if you are the button. Or the BB. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 May 8th, 2013
Fold pre flop or was this an awful call on his part? haha whoops, good call. (I still don't advocate calling being the best line here) Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 May 6th, 2013
Fold pre flop or was this an awful call on his part? If you flat here OOP, what do you do on flops that you miss' Just check/fold after your opponent has invested almost 1/4 of his stack' What about A high flops' As Tyson said above your post (which you seemingly ignored), this situation is very read dependent, and flatting is by far the worst play. Depending on how your opponent has acted in similar situations in regards to bet sizing on a 3-bet, how willing they are to 3b/f, showing down light 3-bet hands, etc would dictate whether to shove or fold here.

Fold pre flop or was this an awful call on his part? True, but what do you consider the best line then with no reads' Flatting his 3-bet OOP is spewy, and you probably aren't getting much fold equity with him already committing nearly 1/4 of his stack so 4-bet shoving isn't a very good line either. If he's somewhat competent he's snapping a shove here and never showing up with a hand you're crushing. Pairs under TT are likely to just reshove preflop (maybe he can show up with 88/99 here) and A9 and below are likely folding to an UTG raise as well, leaving mostly dominating aces (AJs, AQ+) or pairs 88+ in his range that call a shove. I guess ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 May 5th, 2013
Fold pre flop or was this an awful call on his part? His bet sizing and stack size screams monster after he 3-bets as opposed to shipping preflop, so I'd muck pre. The open is fine. As played, flop play is fine. You still had over 20 bbs after losing this hand, so I take it you had some other bad hands past this' This hand alone wouldn't have done you in.

Good Fold? (KK Preflop) Tell that to Phil Hellmuth. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Apr 24th, 2013
Do i get it in here? Call. If you're folding as good a hand as 77 here, you're burning money. Jam preflop would be best with only 13 bbs left. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Apr 22nd, 2013
A6s turns a draw Jam pre. If you go with the minraise preflop, you have to c-bet the flop, probably around 30k. If Villain calls, just shut down unless an A pops up or backdoor clubs. As played, fold. (I'd say jam is an option, but I noticed it's a $1 tournament so Villain is almost never b/f here). Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Apr 22nd, 2013
$16.50: Standard overshove? I don't really like it. Even though he's under 10 big blinds, he's still under the gun and you're UTG+2 (seems like the labels of the positions are wrong above). I'd fold since you still have a decent amount of people behind you. Probably re-shoving 88+, AJs, AQ+ here. ATs is close but at the top of my folding range. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Apr 21st, 2013
Do we ever fold here? Probably the same way you're saying to never fold this without knowing the buyin to the tournament either. Honestly I agree with RyJS here. I'd probably go for a check-raise on the turn since clearly he likes his hand, and that makes the river decision a lot easier. I agree C/C river is a much better line. Even C/R river is better than B/C IMO, since he's feasibly betting any K when checked to, but I highly doubt most randoms are spazzing the river with just a king after you lead unless he has Kxss and has the flush, too. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Apr 18th, 2013
Kinda close spot in Sunday 500 Yeah, you're right. Using my logic, QQ would be a fold too, but I'm bad at folding QQ, haha. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Apr 15th, 2013
HU poker calling with nuts on a flush draw board? You played it fine. After Villain 3-bets preflop, I expect him to be leading close to 100% of the time, so flatting here with the nuts is best since a raise scares away all of his air hands which he may continue to build the pot with on the turn. Your turn shove is fine too, just unlucky he made a flush on the river. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Apr 14th, 2013
$8r: Is this a call getting 4 to 1? Yes, easy call. Pot at this point is 2230 (50x9 + 250 + 500 + 1030) and it only costs you 530 more. Getting over 4.2 to 1 on a call, snapping this with ATC. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Apr 14th, 2013
Kinda close spot in Sunday 500 IMO it's a fold. JJ would be pretty close in this spot though. First villain has a fairly large range so I agree with your analysis of snap calling original shover, but the flat from the second guy is worrisome unless you have good read that he's a fish. Highly doubtful 2nd player has a PP you have dominated, as he's probably reshoving 88/99 and probably folding anything below. Even hands like AQ/AK and possibly JJ are likely to be reshoved. More often than not I expect to see QQ-AA (sometimes AK) though with his flat. For what it's worth, I probably sighfold JJ here too. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Apr 14th, 2013
Is this a fold with 1bb to get another orbit of cards Is anyone else annoyed that the example Stars gave is off by 1' Pot should be 3605 in their example, not 3604. 400 x 9 for antes plus 1 each from the 3 limpers, small blind, plus you in the bb makes a main pot of 3605, not 3604 like they stated. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Mar 27th, 2013
Is this a fold with 1bb to get another orbit of cards No, Stars cuts the main pot so that you can only win a maximum from each player that you have in your stack. For instance, if you only have 1k in your stack before the ante is taken and blinds are 10k/20k with a 2k ante, the main pot will be 9k at a 9-handed table. You will only get 1k from each ante and nothing from the blinds since you don't have any chips left over after the ante. As for this hand, it's a trivial call imo. If you fold, you'll be left with ~18k, and with 2125 antes you aren't getting many more time to look for hands anyway. This hand especially with a single raise in front ...

$3 tourney Full Tilt. Should I have folded this ?? AcJc Doesn't anyone else think that SB has such a perfect resteal stack that he can be shoving a fairly large rangehere' And the original raiser can definitely be opening a lot of hands that AJs has beat. I'd expect a good portion of the time you'll get a fold from the original raiser and go heads up with the SB and be ahead. And not to be results oriented, but SB was shoving K8 offsuit here. I'm sure original raiser is opening a wider range than JJ+, AQ+ here and folding a good deal of the time when SB shoves and we iso. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Mar 19th, 2013
$3 tourney Full Tilt. Should I have folded this ?? AcJc Any reads on the original raiser' You played it fine if the original raiser isn't a nit. He makes a standard raise, and SB makes a standard reshove. Your shove here is likely going to isolate the SB with you being ahead a majority of the time. UL that the original raiser had QQ here. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Mar 19th, 2013
last 16 5 quad bad turn spot. Check back turn for pot control against a laggy Villain here. As played on the turn, a fold is probably best but it's tough since Villain is laggy as you said. Checking turn prevents this tricky spot. I expect him to flip up 55 or 22 a majority of the time here. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Mar 13th, 2013
stuck on the best line to take due to ICM.. Can't you flat and play a pot in position' You can put him in a lot of tricky spots postflop, plus have your hand be extremely underrepped. To your original question though, I'd take 3bet/calling over shoving. Shoving is unexploitable, but a small 3bet could leave him shoving a wider range anticipating there to still be some fold equity due to stack sizes and the lower stack. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Mar 8th, 2013
Final table spot Payouts' Reads' Probably snapping off no matter what the payouts are anyway, unless the open shover is a super nit. Then I'm probably tank-calling instead. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Feb 1st, 2013
Doesn't count for P5's rankings but, I'll take the win and the confidence booster... Nice win! So sick to flop a set and get it all in on that flop and see he's still drawing live, haha. Good job! Posted in: Poker Community	Jason2890 Jan 19th, 2013
Big 162 with AK on bb Effective stacks aren't big enough to get away from this hand at any point. There's already over 3k in the middle heading into the flop, and you only have 9.5k behind. The flop is about as dry as you can hope for, and nothing scary really comes on the turn or river. Personally, I would probably lead 1200-ish on the flop, 2.7k on the turn, and still shove river. It'll still end in the same result. In short, NH, WP, UL. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Jan 19th, 2013
A couple of bluff spots... too risky or good spots? Hand 1: I actually think that this play will work a majority of the time. It's high risk but I think you'll get folds enough to make it profitable. I think it would be more +EV to just flat his raise on the flop and C/R shove any turn, or if he simply checks back the turn, put a 1/2 pot size bet on the river. It's less variance and gets the job done, IMO. Then again, it's a $3 MTT and people might just call with whatever. shrug Hand 2: I don't like this bluff, especially in a small stakes MTT. People get married to top pair in spots like this, thinking "well, the river didn't change ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Jan 6th, 2013
5 minutes ago in $8.80 500cap on stars Never folding your TT hand. You flatted preflop which makes your hand very underrepped, plus opens the door for light reshoves since there's over 400 in dead money in the pot already. TT is an easy call there. Second hand, I probably raise pre with suited QT bvb, rest of it is fine. Villain is rarely b/c a hand that you beat on the river so there's no value in raising there.

PLO - Nuts with no redraws. Are we always getting it in here? Hey andressoprano, if I check the turn in this particular hand and Villain pots it behind me, do you recommend re-potting all in or what' Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Dec 2nd, 2012
PLO - Nuts with no redraws. Are we always getting it in here? Thank you for the insight, and thanks especially for the detailed analysis, Jaxon. Much appreciated. Anyway, I tanked for a little bit and then shoved the rest of my stack in, villain called obviously and turned over QT86 with no heart draw, so we were both splitting. The river came the 7h anyway, but it didn't matter. Split pot. Mostly just posting the hand for analysis since I see similar scenarios come up in PLO pretty often and wanted some opinions. Thanks again guys. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Dec 2nd, 2012
PLO - Nuts with no redraws. Are we always getting it in here? @gjallen1975, I never really even contemplated folding here preflop (maybe that's a leak'). To me, I was torn between making a preflop raise or limping and I decided to limp here. I didn't think my hand is really THAT bad, bad as you said, maybe it's something to consider since my post-flop Omaha skills here are definitely not anything pro. Also, I can see this hand being a somewhat clear call since I'm probably pot committed at this point, but what if effective stacks are $1000 here' Does it change at that point' Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Dec 1st, 2012
PLO - Nuts with no redraws. Are we always getting it in here? This is a (somewhat) common PLO scenario. I admittedly don't play cash PLO games very often but I do like playing them every now and then whenever they run here just because I want to get better at it and it's pretty fun. Estimated stack sizes here. No solid reads on Villain, I'm fairly new to the table and haven't shown down any hands yet. Just wondering what the best way to play this sort of hand is. Rivers Casino $1/$3 Pot-Limit Omaha Table 15 9-max Seat #9 is the button Seat 1: Donkey1 ($200 in chips) Seat 2: Donkey2 ($450 in chips) Seat 3: Donkey3 ($650 in chips) Seat 4: Donkey4 ...

wheel straight on river, should i find a fold here? My point is if you think you're good on the turn, you really should be c-betting the flop. I think as played you have to fold the turn if you checked the flop. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Jason2890 Nov 27th, 2012
