Blinds are 5-10
EP (100)
CO (100)
Button (100)
Hero - BB (200) - typical/aggressive image
Villain - SB (200) - Loose aggressive preflop, weak post flop, generally a poor player
I have A /images/graemlins/heart.gif8 /images/graemlins/club.gif
Folded around to SB who bets 55.
This could mean anything. AA/KK/AK if its legit, any two cards if he's on a steal. I call (first mistake?) as I don't want to let him run me over and I think I can outplay him on the flop.
Flop (120) 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif10 /images/graemlins/diamond.gifJ /images/graemlins/club.gif
Villain pushes and has you barely covered. What do you do?
He doesn't have the onions to do this with junk. (I play with him quite a bit) so I go back to my initial read of AA/KK/AK and reason that there's a better chance he has AK (which I'm ahead of) than AA or KK combined. So I get ready to call, getting 2-1 on the pot. But then I stop, and think, (for a full minute actually) sh*t, his PF raise could have easily been A10 or better or JJ or QQ. Should I have been considering these as legit possibilities from the start?
A10 - I'm behind (16 ways)
AJ - behind (16)
AQ - ahead (16)
AK - ahead (16)
JJ - behind (6)
QQ - behind (6)
KK - behind (6)
AA - behind (6)
So I reason that I can beat only AQ and AK and the odds are 2-1ish he's holding that. I'm getting 2-1 so I fold because I don't like coin flips against crappy players. Thoughts?
Results:
<font color="white">I muck A8 face up and he shows AK. So I just mind f*cked myself out of a big pot. If I had just gone with my initial read I was actually favoured to win, not just getting odds to call (16 ways to have AK and 12 combined to have AA or KK) Anyway, I ended up winning the SNG anyway, but I think I butchered this hand.[color]
