5 handed, I will likely push small PPs with a shortish stack as I still have folding equity and even if I am called I am generally not in terrible shape, AK-AJ, KQ, etc, etc. I am obviously dominated by bigger pairs but many of the responses in this thread illustrate why I would play it this way, people are saying their calling ranges are AA-JJ and AK-AQ, I am very likely to not get called. I open up my table image in the process as well and take some blinds.

that's what you would do, not necessarily what Lloyd thought this UTG would do.

And, there is a difference between Lloyd's calling range and the big stack's calling ranges. Lloyd doesn't really want a coin flip; either of the big stacks can afford one. UTG has to take that into account too before he pushes 22.

Also 1100 with 50/100 level just started is shortish but not that short - UTG has time.

I said QQ-88, AK-AQ earlier, mainly because those are the hands that are strong enough to not mind a call but weak enough to not want to see a flop out of position/let a big stack see a flop in position. Clearly he could do this with 77-22 (the likelihood decreases with each pair though), AJ, KQs... but I think it's more likely to be a medium plus pair or a big ace.

that is both for balance reasons and because I feel a call with AQ is close and marginal.

Pocket tens or better including AK.

Re: PCA DSO Hand - 5 left - Do I make the call?
 

I am probably more comfortable calling this with QTs or JTs or QJs because whenever someone makes this move I peg them on TT and below and dont want action unless it is all-in preflop. If he is a below average player post flop or is scared of the other players this becomes even more likely. Is villian a well known player on Stars? Do we think he is a successful player who is not worrying about the $650, this info could also help. I havent read this whole thread though, so correct me if they have been touched upon.

I just did a huge analysis w/ manual pokerstove calculations vs. various ranges and the session fuking expired and I lost it all. Goddamn i am so pissed.

FYI we've made Chuck aware of this problem. Lots of people are unhappy about it. Hopefully we'll get it fixed shortly.

Re: PCA DSO Hand - 5 left - Do I make the call?

(discounting 99 by 1/2)

how'd you do that on Pokerstove? just make a 9 a dead card?

[/ QUOTE ]
You can select a hand like 99 and then on the lower right hand side choose half of the suit combinations.

Re: PCA DSO Hand - 5 left - Do I make the call?
 

doh, that's right.

I use that little bottom right box too. Forgot about it there.

One, the OP's posting of positions/stacks is confusing. I assume 'CO' is the SB, and 'button' is the BB? Or are both blinds dead from the last hand?

Thanks. I edited the original post.
