STYLINHAWYN 0 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I messed this one up so badly... im sick to my stomach right now...had a chance deep in a pretty descent MTT and i blew itPokerStars Game #6375860849: Tournament #31934528, $10+$1 Hold'em No Limit - Level XVII (4000/8000) - 2006/09/22 - 06:02:21 (ET)Table '31934528 11' 9-max Seat #4 is the buttonSeat 7: bigchipshi (217544 in chips) Seat 9: henyak23 (212308 in chips) Cheers2Beers: posts small blind 4000bigchipshi: posts big blind 8000*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to bigchipshi [Jd Jh]cass06: folds henyak23: raises 16000 to 24000berm423: folds ShipIt2MEH: folds jayjdee: folds padillao: folds Cheers2Beers: folds bigchipshi: calls 16000*** FLOP *** [5h 4s Kh]bigchipshi: checks henyak23: bets 40000bigchipshi: raises 153144 to 193144 and is all-inhenyak23: calls 147908 and is all-in*** TURN *** [5h 4s Kh] [Ac]*** RIVER *** [5h 4s Kh Ac] [Qh]*** SHOW DOWN ***bigchipshi: shows [Jd Jh] (a pair of Jacks)How should I have played it preflop. I have a pretty good read on this guy... He's a semi-lag player whos not afraid to make a move if he smells weakness. VPIP of 27% and PFR of 22%. One hand I raised with JJ in MP, he put me all-in on the button with A4s and my hand help up. I was thinking on this hand he probably had anywhere from AJ-AK, and 77-AA. not to sure as he only opened up with a raise from early position. So I was thinking I wanted to take a flop and hope for no overcards or hit my unlikely set. then play from therewhen the flop only brings one over card with K out there, I thought my hand was still most likely good. when he bet 40k at me into a 55k pot, it screamed that he wanted to end the hand right there without any more play from me... Now I put him on an underpair to my Jacks or AQ or AJ.So i went with my read and pushed it all-in... what would you have done preflop, flop, etc... Do I really want to get all my chips in preflop with JJ against a big stack and race? Link to post Share on other sites
simo_8ball 0 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I like calling preflop. If you reraise you pretty much have to call a push if AK is in his range - and AK is definitely in his range given his history. See a flop and reevaluate.On the flop, I like the c/r allin. You get a fold from anything other than AK, AA, KK, and I would expect a continuation bet from almost all of his other possible hands.I think you played it ok. Link to post Share on other sites

Thats in the range of bets he makes for information and/or to price out a flush draw.this is a tough hand...stacks sizes and prize structure probably influence how I would play it, from pushing pre-flop to your c/r.
