Avii

While I have a big hand, blinds are big as well. We gamble here or fold? No real reads other than UTG has not done this pretty often (been quiet).PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 16 Tournament, 100/200 Blinds 25 Ante (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands ReplayerAvii (MP2) (t1740)CO (t1245)Button (t1900)SB (t1350)BB (t1560)UTG (t2290)MP1 (t3415)Avii's M: 3.66Preflop: Avii is MP2 with A , Q UTG bets t800, 1 fold, Hero (t0) ?

I kind of always forever suck in this situation. What do we do here? Does an average villain always have some sort of an A here? Am I seeing spirits more often than not?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 11 Tournament, 50/100 Blinds (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands ReplayerMP2 (t3760)CO (t1630)Avii (Button) (t1800)SB (t1455)BB (t1740)UTG (t910)MP1 (t2205)Avii's M: 12.00Preflop: Avii is Button with 2 , A 4 folds, Avii bets t300, 1 fold, BB calls t200Flop: (t650) A , 8 , 10 (2 players)BB bets t1440 (All-In), Hero (t1500) calls that bastard down?

It's late game, and I'm in chip accumulation mode. Assuming your average villain, how do we go on here?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 11 Tournament, 75/150 Blinds (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands ReplayerCO (t3265)Button (t2110)SB (t1365)BB (t1980)Avii (UTG) (t1700)MP (t3080)Avii's M: 7.56Preflop: Avii is UTG with 7 , A Avii bets t400, 4 folds, BB calls t250Flop: (t875) 6 , 10 , 10 (2 players)BB bets t300, Hero (t1300) goes allin?

Tnx for the replies guys.

Tnx for the advice guys.I called allin in this spot however. Turns out the initial raiser was stealing (or got away when the perceived ISO raise hit).I did also win the pot. I wondered if I was being results oriented or not.

hahaha I never liked this bellande character.he's pretty much a dirty player, and will do anything to get "reads", watch him vs. sam grizzle in the NBC HU for a sample of his antics.and now, not only is he a dirty dirty player, but also an incredibad player. I don't usually hate on anybody, but if I did, this guy would be a deserving one imo.

nice thread lurbz. i will be following it closely.i wonder if at some point i could make a profit goal like that as well, and what would be realistic.

He's playing it fast, so whatever he has he likes it, even thoough there is a nonzero chance its a complete bluff.If we were to shove in that hand, it should have been pre to steal. We getting married here run the risk of losing our entire prize pool equity, leading to a very grateful BB shorty next hand...Anyway, that's just my humble opinion.

No real use betting there, as the three stacks are relatviely equal, with shorty being in the BB with exactly 2BB's the very next hand. Passivity rules here imo, seek a showdown as cheaply as possible.

with makeup and stuff

The situation looks dire. I have an awesomely low stack. Many players like their cards pre here.Assuming in a vacuum, should I be joining the party here? What hands should I be calling here with? Or is it fold of like 1005 of my range?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 16 Tournament, 200/400 Blinds 25 Ante (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands Replayersaw flopSB (t6095)Avii (BB) (t1120)UTG (t1770)Button (t4515)Avii's M: 1.60Preflop: Avii is BB with 9 , 10 1 fold, Button bets t1200, SB raises to t6070 (All-In), Hero (t695) ?

Should I just have kept betting turn instead of checking?As played, fold or shove? Mind the stacks.Villain seemed propense to call pre raises a ton, but first time I clashed with him. He got his stack by winning pre allins early on, standard fare.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 6.5 Tournament, 50/100 Blinds (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands Replayersaw flopButton (t3940)SB (t2975)BB (t1385)Avii (UTG) (t3215)MP (t1055)CO (t930)Avii's M: 21.43Preflop: Avii is UTG with Q , A Avii bets t250, 2 folds, Button calls t250, 2 foldsFlop: (t650) 8 , 7 , Q (2 players)Avii bets t350, Button c

Thnx for the responses guys.I pussied and just folded. In retrospect, he was trapping, as he had QQ.I wondered how bad the limp after was, in a honestly non-results oriented way.

Shorty was involved in a few fisticuffs earlier that left him crippled. Here he shoves for about 7x into limpers, which is probably indicative of a range of any broadways, most pairs etc. What intrigues me is the caller though, why do you call such a large bet with action behind? Chances on the trap being set? Also, chances on him simply playing bad? Or me?What should we do with our hand here? Also, what is the accepted range to shove here?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 22 Tournament, 25/50 Blinds (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands ReplayerUTG+1 (t1470)MP1 (t1250)Avii (MP2) (t253
