AT bubble play
not much info on the bigstack, he got most of his chips through PF all ins, the one pot i played against him i had AQ he had 77 flop QK7 all spades he checks flop makes value bet on river when Q hits, i lose (relatively) small pot... what hands is he raising with here/ should i have raised preflop / should i check that flop? / was i right to give up on that turn? /

Re: AT bubble play
An hour+ without a reply? Bah! How bad can it be?
Setup: You are fixin to tangle w/big stack. You are very handsomely stacked yourself. The blinds, other stack sizes and such do not warrant a huge amount of risk here. Two ways to approach PF (keeping in mind who we're dealing with). #1: - If I limp & whiff...hand over - If I limp & hit TP, how do I proceed? -- represent, call a raise, hoping he's nice? Don't like so much OOP -- represent, fold to a raise? Better -- check-call, hoping a) an overcard doesn't fall & b) he's nice? Blah -- check-raise, fold to a reraise? Could be perfect...depending on the strength of his lead & the opponent #2: If I 2.5-3x & he folds...hand over If I 2.5-3x & he reraises...hand over If I 2.5-3x and he calls, how do I proceed? -- If I hit, fire something close to pot? -- If I miss, c-b? c-f? #2 sucks a bit. Read or not, with his stack & position, I don't know if you are getting the fold PF enough to make up for the times we miss and maybe spew more on a c-b OOP. #1 is a safer/more prudent line IMO. With the number of cards that will shut you down on the flop I also don't like playing too passive on this flop. C-r'ing is an option against the right opponent. But a more expensive one when he pushes over (and we fold of course), and getting increasingly more difficult when he just calls your c-r. I think your lead line was fine (though maybe just a tad too much...meh). Calling was a mistake IMO. 1) you rightfully so can't afford to communicate the strength of your hand by reraising(assuming we might be ahead), and 2)...as a result we have no way to slow him down on the turn, short of a desperation blocking lead. I think you lead t250 on this flop, check-fold the turn with a call, fold to his raise. |
