Stars $6.50 Turbo: Q9 in the BB facing a push from the button
Here's the hand...
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter UTG (t6300) Button (t1425) SB (t4530) Hero (t1245) Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1400</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero... The button has pushed all-in when either the SB or on the button at least 5 or 6 times prior to this, so I assumed he is capable of pushing with any two here. Is this a spot for me to make a stand and call? I'm getting 1.28:1 odds here and I used PokerStove to calculate my equity against his push with my hand. Here are the PokerStove results: equity (%) win (%) tie (%) Hand 1: 55.3604 % 53.86% 01.50% { Qh9s } Hand 2: 44.6396 % 43.14% 01.50% { random } I figured he could be pushing with any two here, so therefore I assumed his range is "random". Only needing ~44% for this call (determined from pot odds 1.28:1) to be correct (if his range is random) (I'm assuming this math is correct from PokerStove, someone please point out any flaws...) I called getting 55% (output from PokerStove)... Afer the tournament, I assesed a more narrow range into PokerStove... equity (%) win (%) tie (%) Hand 1: 45.5585 % 43.67% 01.89% { Qh9s } Hand 2: 54.4415 % 52.56% 01.89% { 22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q5s+, J7s+, T7s+, 97s+, A2o+, K2o+, Q5o+, J7o+, T7o+, 97o+ }. With the same pot odds of needing ~44%, having 45.5% (I'm assuming) would still make this call correct (more borderline obviosuly). I made the call, and am just posting to see if I am doing all of this math correctly and if I am corectly apllying it to real situations. Any responses are greatly apprectiated! |

[/ QUOTE ] While he would be correct in pushing with any two here most of the time, I don't usually give that much credit to opponents at the low buyins. Barring any reads to the contrary (such as he's been pushing every-other hand), I would be more likely to assume he's pushing at worse with two paint cards, a small A, or a medium K. I would fold. |
