QJo & p8\'s All-ins HU Wrong time 2Call?
 

45 person SNG @ Stars;

Just got heads up, maybe 4 hands ago... This guy has to be impressed with what he has seen from me, i just slow played 4 Kings vs the last player, I had basically taken everybody off the final table with a wide array of plays, I hadnt lost too many hands that i played with. Needless to say i was confident, and he was impressed with my play as he said very nice play and such numerous times.

I hold a very sizeable 50:15 Chip lead.

Reads probably around 60 hands with him, he was playing very weak tight, and had minbid checked almost everypot he won, though after a few hands heads up he had raised the blinds each time, and i was growing suspicious at his new found agressiveness.

Scenario #1
------------------------------------------------------
Blinds are 400/800 ante 50(maybe 75?)

I am dealt
Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villan raises to Allin - 15k

I put him on Pocket pair, he did think before going all-in so i figured it was a Medium pocket pair, i would think he woulda turbo raised all-in or slow played anything else, I may be against Ax as well, as he had played a hand early on the final table that crippled at the time the other big stack(me being the bigger) he played A6 that time.

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 42.5851 % 42.29% 00.30% { QJo }
Hand 2: 57.4149 % 57.12% 00.30% { TT-22, A2o+ }

So im 3:2 Dog, by my estimates.
Right or wrong play?




And of course...
He turns over

Board hits,

Villain wins ~ 30k Pair of 6's

I have him covered by 5k~ at this point.
------------------------------------------------------------
3-4 Hands later, he hasnt stopped raising, he now has me covered by about ~1k chips.

----------------------------------------------------------

Scenario #2

My BB

He raises to 3200.

Here i think i made an error, but im quite unsure.

After being raised 7 hands in a row, i figure 88 vs Anything = Good right? I dont think he can call an all-in. I figure hes completely random at this point, and i need to put a stop to his shenanigans.

All-in.




Villan calls.

Turns over JJ.

Flop-Turn-River. Nothing.

Game over Congrats on 2nd!


Did I get to soft on hand selection to call all-ins

I think I call both those hands and accept the 2nd place money.

With QJ, you are not a huge dog against too many hands. You are about 54:46 against K6. I'd rather be the favorite, obviously, but you had the stack and the chance to end it.

Hand 2, you have a PP heads-up. No way you fold that.

Is calling 3200, then getting bullied out to weak of a play post flop?

Re: QJo & p8\'s All-ins HU Wrong time 2Call?
 

I probably drop the QJ, especially if you think you can outplay him, because with that range you put him on you are not getting the correct odds.

Hand 2, c'est la vie.
