Pre-flop:
Foxero folds. sodrod86 folds. Glory Seeker goes all-in for 1440.


Blinds are pretty tight and won't call me without a pair/A8+/any 2 broadway.

What's your move? Do you fold and wait for a better spot/hand? At what point does it become correct to move in with this type of hand?

[curtains]

Yes it probably is +EV.

[Myst]

Its positive EV given those calling ranges.

[Sykes]

Ok. Thanks guys, I've been just having a rough night where all my steal-pushes have run into monsters when it's correct to push against tight players.

BB had AA /images/graemlins/frown.gif.

If he had AA, your hand was actually better than KQ for this HU match.

Yes so very well done running into AA with 75s instead of KQo.

[HesseJam]

It's even better that KQs, I believe. Dunno, it might even be better than AKs.

Edit: I'm a moron. Of course it's better than AKs and it's better than any pair other than AA

Does it matter? The problem with 75s is it's only good for steal-raise because it loses to every hand that might call you (except for 22/33 where you're 52/48)

If you get called by 88 vs AA you're a 4 to 1 dog.
Your best chance is getting called by A8/JT/KQ/AK (40/60 situations, which I am more to happy to take against a decent size stack who will double me up and bring my stack to his level if he loses and bring me in a good spot to make the money)

And on the rare cases i get called by A5 or A7, I'm a 2-1 dog.

you do not beat 44/55/66. I don't know why you think it beats 55/66

No, it doesn't. But it doesn't matter that he lost to AA either.
