Last night's Empire 15k guaranteed ($55.)
We're five handed out of a field of 260. Pay structure: 1st - $4100 2nd - $2300 3rd - $1600 4th - $1250 5th - $1050 Here are two hands that had me thinking. Chip stacks are: billyjex - 30k Player A - 35k Player B - 110k Player C - 38k Player D - 30k I am dealt A8o UTG. Almost every hand is a raise that takes down the blind. Blinds are 1000/2000 and I raise to 6000. Chip leader on the button, who is a decent tight aggressive player but a little predictable, a little loose (and willing to gamble with his stack) min-raises me to 10k. This min-raise is fishy. I put him on QQ-AA, AKs. Givin his hand range, should this be an easy fold back to me? I felt with his min-raise I should call.. so I do. Flop is 8 4 6 rainbow. I have TPTK. I check to player B, and he immediately puts me all in. Call or Fold? Hand #2 - This occured about 2 orbits later. I am the short stack at 20k, blinds are now 1500/3000. UTG player has 28k and is the tighest player at the table. She was chip leader at around 80k coming into the final table but has dwindled her stack by raising preflop and not calling pushes. She has been content to sit around and fold trying to move up in the standings. I am UTG+1 and dealt AQo. UTG pushes, which would put me all in. She has a decent hand, but I wouldn't limit her range to just JJ-AA, AK. Do you make the call? |
