Two responses on this thread 'I hate min-raisers' and 'KJ is too good 3 handed with 9bb' are totally missing the point, as usual. [/ QUOTE ] lol... good to have you back tigerite. seriously though, the key is how the bubble played and how ITM has gone so far. has he called any all-in pushes? what's his typical SB behavior been (completeing, pushing, min-raising, standard raising)? basically, you make this push if you think he's going to respond weakly to aggression (i.e. fold). i actually don't think you want a call here. |

You don't want a call here - unless he is folding enough to make up for when he DOES call (because of the "dead" 900 chips). It might seem counter-intuitive, but if he called 100% of the time here, you'd have to be 50.3% favourite for it to be +$EV.. and KJo just doesn't stand up that well against a whole lot (thus the need for it to be a 39% range). The problem is, when he folds the bottom X% of that range, then the hands he still calls with, KJo holds up badly against those too, and so on.. it doesn't get below 37% range til he's folding 40%+ of the time. That is what I was trying to get at, but hey, ridicule is fine too. |

So, all the matters is the number of times SB folds. You're telling me that it's correct to fold KJ w/9BB ITM to a min-raise? |

[/ QUOTE ] Well that's the question isn't it - which is why I'd want a read on the guy, and to have some idea on his read on me to make the push. |

Well, personally, I always (without fail) have some read on the SB by this point and some idea of my table image, and I play KJo here accordingly. There isn't a black and white answer.

[/ QUOTE ] Wheres that Jukel dude? Did he read this thread? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I think yours and 45suited posts are great...I hadn't realized consiously the points you discussed - but I realized that I do go through the same process in this spot... Incidentally Tigerite (or 45suited)... how bad is cold-calling here and then 'playing some poker' post-flop? a) You're ITM already b) You're getting 4:1 on your money c) Generally - you have to figure you have 2 live ones d) You have position and may be able to buy it post-flop (since - as we already established - we now have a read on the SB) |

Not bad at all, I'd certainly want to call rather than fold the vast majority of the time I would even consider folding.

You're telling me that it's correct to fold KJ w/9BB ITM to a min-raise? [/ QUOTE ] IT DEPENDS. In order to put the SB on a range of hands, you have to have witnessed his behavior up to this point. How can tigerite answer a question like that in a vacuum. Against some opponents, I'd push instantly. Against others, I'd call and see a flop. I can't imagine that there would be opponents so tight that I would fold this ITM, but who knows... Well, I just read tigerite's responses, and as usual, he is correct.
