NLHE Shootout Hand

[Degen]

For those who don't know, a Shootout Tournament is a MTT that starts out like an SNG. Each table plays till there is one man standing, then all of the winners are ITM...then they play to a winner from those remaining.


This one occured last night at Commerce Casino, $291+39 buy in. Since it plays like an SNG, I'll post the hand here.

Blinds 25/50, Level 3...all players start with t1000. Eight players left.

Hero is UTG with ~t1750
MP2 is the Button ~t850
Villain is SB with ~t1250

Hero is dealt J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero raises to t175
MP2 calls t175
SB raises t1085, SB is all in.

Hero???



This guy played pretty sloppy in the early going with regard to what hands he'd limp with, but he always seemed to know when he was beat post-flop. I've also seen him around the major tourneys quite a bit (WPT events etc), and he is at least semi-skilled.

MP2 was on tilt, so he could have almost anything, and i was fairly certain that he would fold.
