TP + FD - standard line for short stacks (40BB)
This question is mostly difficult because it involves the structure of our home game:
$20NL buyin, typically 7-8 handed, .25/50 blinds. Yes, everyone buys in at 40BB. It sucks, but I'm stuck with it for now. This is a hypothetical hand, but I've run into it a few times already: Hero has about $20 Villain also has about $20 Assume villain is a fairly honest player, and usually has some kind of hand when betting. Hero is dealt: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in LP 3 limpers, hero limps in Flop ($3 or so) comes: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] EP checks MP1 bets $3 MP2 folds Hero ??? At this point, two dimes says hero is about a 45/52 dog to AK, and about 30/70 to a set. I'm ruling out 2 pair. Normally, I would put in a raise here to something like $10, but with our stack size, that would commit me entirely. Which option would you go with: (a) Call and see the turn for cheap? What's the plan when the turn is a non-diamond and the villain leads again for roughly another $5-10 or so? (b) Just push here, and take advantage of fold equity since I'm about even against any TPGK Notes on villain: with AK, he would normally call this all-in against people about 60% of the time. Against me, it would probably be much lower because of my tight image at the table. My thoughts are: villain will most likely only call me with a set, where he would be ahead. Is it worth stealing $6 with the push? Thanks! |
