Glory Seeker is at seat 1 with 1440.
eclip is at seat 2 with 1075.
FooledHouse is at seat 6 with 3975.
Foxero is at seat 7 with 7040.
sodrod86 is at seat 9 with 1470.
The button is at seat 1.

eclip posts the small blind of 100.
FooledHouse posts the big blind of 200.

Glory Seeker: 5c 7c
eclip: -- --
FooledHouse: -- --
Foxero: -- --
sodrod86: -- --

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?

Yes it probably is +EV.

Myst · #3 06-17-2005, 02:09 AM

Its positive EV given those calling ranges.

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 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

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 · #7 06-17-2005, 05:41 AM

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
