View Full Version : pre flop isolation? or wait ?

Hello

ive been lurking here for awhile but this is my first post, maybe not so interesting?

Its a 20ppl tourney with 6 left when this happens. Ive been quite inactive and shortstacked attacking limpers a few times and dubbling up a one orbit ago with 99 against 66 otherwise not doing anything. Villian has been doing the same. started to attack limpers when he saw i got away with it. The other ones are the usual limp anything suited or broadway and minraise the monstertypes of lowlimits players so i expekt them to fold 99% of the time. they havent called one time so far.

So the question here is if my Ah 5h is good enough to look him up? thinking about the table and that he expekt everyone to fold i think he could do it with just about any two but maybe thats optimistic. Anyway i thought it was a ok place to try and build my stack or go back to pushmode. I know i got good odds to call it so maybe its a nobrainer.

Maybe it isnt i could just continue as before, build my stack throu steals and wait for a big hand or flop from the blinds. But ive only got one mistaken attempt and then im down anyway so...

i think this is nuts. your hand isn't good enough for you to want a call, and that guy is not folding for 700ish more.

Hes trying to get the 765 guy heads up since he is all in. but i also do not think that your hand is good enough for this play.

This is terrible. He almost certainly has you beat. Most of the time you'll be dominated in some way. Whether he has JJ, AK, even 33 is bad. I can't think of a single hand that he could have that is good for you.

yep, i misread that. sorry. i still wouldn't raise, btw.

ok. i said i put him on any two though cause the limpers have folded any push preflop so far. But it could be stupid to do it anyway. even though i get almost 2:1 ?
