Stars 150. Genoa had been playing tight. Hadn't opened many pots even in position.

We played one hand together earlier, he open limped for 400 and i pushed for 2700 with QTo. He thought and called with KJh and the board came T high.

Hero folds.

I still really don't know if I like it. I just think I see an ace or pocket pair here too often. Blah.

i dont really know anythign about him, but i think i remember reading he was good.. which means he's pushing worse than KQ there.. (i think) And even weak aces you're not in bad shape vs

Yes, yes exit most good players raise a good range of hands here and KQ is usually an instacall but....

If he had a real hand here, he would play it the same. And based on his tightness, and on the fact that he knows I'm aggressive, I don't see him pushing stuff like QJ and KT here. I just don't.

It's a little over 10 BBs to. 8 BBs i UBERMEGAINSTA call.

I call with KQo there. I'm surprised you don't think hes pushing KTo in this spot.

I call here as well. It seems like a +EV spot any way you put it.

I'm not sure how to say this any better, but having played a billion 200 sngs with him back in the day, this is totally wrong.

genoa_st is a good player. if you think his range of pushing on the button in this situation doesnt include hands like QJ and KT, that would make him a bad player. i imagine his range is a fair bit wider than this.

who is he? Does he post here? He was at my table for a while in this tourney later on. Never got much of a read on him.

agreed. the fact that he's known and good makes me much more inclined to call than if he's not.
