Re: What\'s the correct bet size here?
[ QUOTE ]
When the action comes around to you there is 3600 in the pot. if you raise to 4800 your giving UTG 2.6-1 odds and he might call here which would make it an automatic call for UTG+1 because of pot odds. so to make sure he doesnt call, you want to reraise a little mroe than that. a reraise to about 8000 would be good. giving UTG less than 2-1 odds to call, he should fold. then UTG+1 can only call with AA,KK,QQ,AK. i think he would throw away jacks here if you think hes solid. [/ QUOTE ] 1.) stop reading Tom Mcevoy articles, they will turn your brain to mush. 2.) Why would I EVER want him to fold JJ? 3.) When they call with 2.6-1 odds, are they making the correct play? 4.) If you are betting to get them to fold, why do you need pocket kings to do it? |

I want to play this hand 3 handed in position with one player committed to the pot. [/ QUOTE ] Hero is in the big blind. So he would not have position. |

Re: What\'s the correct bet size here?

You raise to 5k, UTG calls, UTG+1 is now getting about 3:1 with implied odds to stack you with certain flops. No brainer with JJ or AQ. [/ QUOTE ] Hi. I'm struggling to grasp why UTG+1 should call with AQ here. I'm not saying it's wrong (because I'm not experienced enough to say that). If I was UTG+1 I would fold here because after the reraise by the big stack in the BB I would not even be sure that I wanted to hit an ace, i.e. could be up against AK. Am I too tight? Please make me understand why I need to call with AQ if that's the correct play. Cheers. |

Re: What\'s the correct bet size here?
Why would you want Jacks or Queens to fold? I would reraise
probably about 3to 4x the pot. If I felt a push would get both players to call than I would push. If I am against AA well there's a new tourney in an hour. Bruce |

Re: What\'s the correct bet size here?
In retrospect, it seems like I put a little more in than I needed to. Then again, if I had only put in the 10k, I would still be committed to the pot even ifg UTG+1 came along. No?
By the way, the converter didn't say so, but the level was 800/400 + 50a. So, there was 1650 in the pot before the cards were dealt. Here's the hand: PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) converter SB (t18134) Hero (t28286) UTG (t10299) UTG+1 (t20498) MP1 (t19762) MP2 (t28863) MP3 (t8380) CO (t9211) Button (t18466) Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1600</font>, UTG+1 calls t1600, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t12000</font>, UTG calls t8649 (All-In), UTG+1 folds. Flop: (t24199) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Turn: (t24199) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> River: (t24199) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t24199 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> Hero has Kh Ks (one pair, kings). UTG has Jd Jc (one pair, jacks). Outcome: Hero wins t24199. </font> |

[/ QUOTE ] Of course, they get worse when you add a 2nd caller (especially when AQ has more equity than JJ). But you also add more money in the pot. So instead of looking at the % of time you win, try looking at the Chip E.V. |
