justblaze 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 what were the blinds? chipcounts? was it a tourney or cash game? any answer someone gives you is useless without this info. Link to post Share on other sites
Devilkin 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Late in a tourney if Im shortstacked, Im all in with 8s or better.In this case, you are doing ok with chips, and its one of those cases where the three step thought process I've heard about (not sure of the source) comes into play.Level 1. What do I have?Level 2. What do I think my opponent has? (this is where you are at it seems)Level 3. What do I think my opponent thinks I have?Level 3 is key. What have you been playing recently that you have raised 2xbb? Axs? KQo? If so, your opopnent may have put you on one of those hands, and be challenging you with AKs or a lower pocket pair.Ultimately, I don't think anyone here can quantitatively say what you should or shouldn't do, since in this case, the read is vital. This hand, if you call the all in, is your tourney life on the line. If you are a good reader, follow your gut. If you have doubt, fold.Dev Link to post Share on other sites

Devilkin 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 its from sklansky, and its only useful if your opponent is thinking, which he may not be.Agreed - if this is a novice player you are against, he isn't thinking this level. If he is just playing his cards, the all in signifies significant strength in my opinion. Fold the 10s.Dev Link to post Share on other sites

bobbytheo3 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 its an easy call in my opinion. its only a 3 way game and your gonna fold 10's pre flop?? think of the range of hand he could move in with. only the 4 higher pocket pairs dominate you. overcards your a favorite and are gettin laid pot odds. A-x your a big favorite and any lower pocket pair your a huge favorite. no way any good player should lay that down Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think a betting 2x the BB was sufficient?. (call the blind, then raise 2x more).. it was the very 1st hand after the increase. Your thoughts please Link to post Share on other sites

I may get pushed around, but you'll be on the rail making calls like that. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbytheo3 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 ill be on the rail??? you realize that if you sit and wait for j's or better to call an all-in, this guy could go over the top of you every time you bet and youd fold your way to a loss in no time?? in a 3 way tournament, the hand i listed are completely reasonable for him to push with. and yousay you dont want to get involved in a coin flip?? youd be the slight favorite and the pot already has the big blind and the 2xbb you already raised, puls his all-in, so your getting laid a great price on a coinflip. youd be getting the right odds even if you were the one with the overcards Link to post Share on other sites
bobbytheo3 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 hahaha, yeah, i dont know that means your calling requirements must be higher than your raising requirements. keep laying down the 5th best all-in hand in poker guys when you are getting laid a good price. seriously Link to post Share on other sites
