HU NL200 against a guy who gives a new definition to the term "tilt"

Go_Blue88 · #1 06-14-2005, 06:02 AM

My opponent is tilting more than anyone i've ever played. Prior to this hand he went all in four consecutive times, this being the fifth time. We had been playing for about thiry minutes when this hand came up:

I, ~600, sit in the bb with A6o. Villian, ~200, goes all in, hero??

I'm not sure how interesting a hand like this is to you all, but i guess i think it's a difficult situation. What would you do? Also, as a pre-emptive strike, i don't believe in the logic "wait for a better spot," i look at this as possibly the world's easiest 200 bucks.

Call. You're still covering or equal if you lose, and if he wins and continues to tilt, you're in a great position.

I TURBO call. I don't mind making these marginal calls. I called today with KQo to the tilting guy's reraise allin (to be shown J7s), and with K6s (to see J5o) to the shortstack push.

You shouldn't look like it as the "easiest 200 bucks" you ever made though. You are investing 200 to have about a 59% edge (vs a random), so it'll be about the easiest 36 bucks you ever made (in the long run).

Do it. Lose. Call it again on the next A high you get, win! I make these kinds of call all the time vs the tilt guys. The debate a friend and I have it, how do you do it with dueces? Bascially with 22 your in a weird spot, your a slight favorite over 34 or AK for example, but vs any pockets your in trouble. So with 22 I think I fold (unless I'm tilty too!) but any A I'm calling.

if i woke up in the bb with 22, 33, 44, 55 i'd fold. in these situations, in general, i am at best 52% to win the hand. while this may be an ideal play in a tourney, i certainly don't see it for a cash game. i'd want to be at least a 60% favorite to win the hand b/c otherwise i'm giving my opponent an equal chance to win the pot. but i'm better than my opponent, which makes that idiotic.

i decided to call b/c i concluded that i'd be ahead most of the time. i think he was bad enough to raise a lesser amount with a big hand b/c he wants action. so i decided that he prolly didn't have ak, aq, or aj. thus, i only worried about a7,a8,a9, or possibly a10. similarly, i don't think he'd play a higher pocket pair in that way. so i was concerned about 66, 77, and possibly 88. from this logic i felt like i needed to call. he had 47o, and my ace high was good. i guess maybe this post would have been more interesting if it was played at higher stakes than NL200...
