An overpair is possible and would give a fold result. I don't think the big stack raising here means an overpair most of the time though, as the big stack here I'd raise with damn near anything.
And yes, if I give SB a hand which dominates Hero, then the results are going to look bad, lol. It's possible that I'm overestimating the value of getting a stack of 3000 chips - I've never played one of these 15,000 chip tourneys. Perhaps the call is wrong, but there's no way I'm agreeing it's "terrible". I tried to make my scenario reasonably fair. Yes, I could give the button an overpair, but I could also give SB a hand that dominates the button, or a hand that is dominated by Hero, etc... |

either way, giving the short stack caller a hand like 49o will skew the results fairly considerably, I would guess. Try giving him Q8o then, since it's likely he may be better than average holding since he's not sitting out to hope someone else gets KO'd first.

Eh. I can't be bothered, lol. I don't think it'll make a lot of difference. The key point is whether SB wins the hand very much. If you give button an overpair, of have one of the other hands dominate SB, the model will say fold. Otherwise it'll say call (unless SB dominates you). Guess it depends how often you think one of those is true. In the long run neither choice will make that much difference - you get third most of the time SB loses.
ACTUALLY, I just realised something. I forgot to account for the times when you win the side pot when SB loses if you call. That will push it to even more of a call in my test scenario. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, and giving the SB, button, and UTG (whatver % of the time he sees the flop) a more realisitic group of hands will push it to even more of a fold. |

[/ QUOTE ] Well, I think this would be a mistake. It was limped by UTG, who has a fair stack, and you are likely to be called by at least one short-stack no matter what happens. I would only raise here with a good hand. Caling here is a mistake, I think. With a limper and a raiser, there is a good chance one has an overpair, and I can easily be dominated by one on the three non-pair hands if no one has a pair.

I have to put 660 to win less than 3000. I clearly dont have the chip odds. And if we talk about money, I prefer taking my SB with 660, there's a good chance my hand will be much better than 7 5, maybe enough to come over the t400 lost. sahaguje |

25+25+25+25+400+1,060+385+400=2,345 chips thats what I'm playing for if UTG folds to the raise thats 3.55/1.
If UTG should call which I felt was fairly likely this increases to 3005 chips thats 4.55/1. What I also considered was the reduced chances of UTG calling if I was to fold, leaving the SB getting about 7/1 on his last 200 chips heads up, not a scenario I wanted. I also felt it was likely to go to a 4 way showdown if UTG did call the raise. In addition calling is the only way I can even consider aiming for a position above 3rd. This was what they all had, and it did go to a 4 way showdown. Me (BB) 75o EV 36.5% SB AKo EV 38% UTG AQo EV 16.5% Button KQo EV 9% On Dalimans point about an overpair, I must admit I never considered this possiblility and that was definitely a mistake however it turned out semi reasonably for me, and luckily two queens fell on the flop and that was the end of both me and the SB, and I got 3rd position. Thank you all for your interesting comments, I am still surprised how many people seem to advocate a fold, and must admit I remain unconvinced of that line of reasoning, but then again who the hell am I [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Hi Gramps
The Stars blind ante system is like this 10/20 15/30 25/50 50/100 75/150 100/200 100/200 25 ante 200/400 25 ante 300/600 50 ante 400/800 50 ante 600/1200 75 ante 1000/2000 100 ante etc [ QUOTE ] (50 ante I'm assuming, I think that's right). [/ QUOTE ] Regards Mack |

As far as your chances of winning the hand, that's about the very, very best you could possibly hope for with all three players in.
Absent an overpair for SB, that's about the worst, worst, you could hope for in temrs of SB getting eliminated. Ugh to him "double dominating" UTG and the button. Hope the board contained 5 cards Jack or less with a 5 and/or 7 (and no wheel straight). |

As bigstack yes, I raise just about anything if I'm first in or see the shorties folding to outlast each other but my ears definitely prick up at 2nd stacks limp. stoneii |

I think this is very close call after a long calculation. So I am obvious disappointed. Here are some of my thoughts: [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Assume UTG would fold first, since button is not likely resteal otherwise he would push, he has a better hands than any two from sb and obvious yours 75o is worst than any two. So I put winning percent of button sb and you are 45% 30% 25% You are not always out when sb wins, I guess you win extra 1/3 of time against button, that gives you 1200 chips vs sb 1600 chips, so rougly your EV is 8.2 if that happens. So your EV of calling 45% 20 Button win 25% 30 u win 20% 0 sb win and u lose to Button 10% 8.2 sb win and u win Button average EV=17.5 if u fold, I put sb win 35% and button win 65% then your EV 35% 8.2 sb win 65% 20 button win average EV=15.9 So its close but it’s a call. The fact UTG might call as well once you move in only works in your favor since you win more chips if you win and both you and sb decrease chance of winning. Obvious you don’t really care as long as sb is out. Hope this is clear. Just want to keep it as a record for me since I don't know how many people care to read this.
