Re: Protecting your hand against very loose callers
Hi Folks,
Excellent post. I think this makes these games very much of a crapshoot. Here is a perfect example. $50 Sit N Go down to 5 players. I am shortstacked and blinds are 100-200 and then went up to 150-300. I start playing very aggressive to get back into things. 2-3 of the players left are willing to call any all in with Ax. I make two semi-steals with A-9o and AJs. One player busts out and it is down to 4. I see the top stack call an all in with A4 (he lost, but still had biggest stack). I am getting a bit more cautious on the bubble. I decide to go all in with JJ on the button. I have 1300 chips with 150/300 blinds. I figure I will be called with any Ax with the liklihood that A2 - A10 coming up. That makes me a 7-3 favorite. I get called and lose to A-3. These players never even consider the Gap Concept and that they are 7-3 underdogs. I just can't see folding this hand though. So I think you pretty much have to live with the consequences.
Pitcher.
