Been doing well on UB singles for the most part. Playing in both 10 handed and 5 handed tables. All NL.
Question is: In a 10 handed table, down to 5-6 players,
You have say 1800 of 10k in play, blinds are only 20-40.
A player goes all-in with about 400t. You have 44 or 55.
How often will you be beat by the river? Expect that player will jam with any decent Ace-x say A9 up, Any suited ace, and all pairs. Also he'll jam with KJ, KQ, but not say QJ 10J (unless suited) where he'll limp or small raise.
My thoughts are and have been to fold these small pairs and wait for a better time. Yet I see others do it. even 55 against 44. (1 of the reasons I'm posting this. No I wasnt invloved)
Now ? #2.
You have 66 utg 4 handed. U have 1/2 the chips on the table. (6k in play) blinds say 75-150, Obviously playable.
I raise to 400T , Good bet?
button decides to go all-in for 780, SB goes all-in for 540.
what do you do. How often will hand hold up?
Didnt know these players yet. they were seeing alot of flops. I was totally dominated. But that was hindsight. I did call. But I wondered about it before making the call thinking I'm beat already.
Thoughts?
Thanks
