Hand 1 from Stars 11+R

TheTimeIsUp · #1 08-17-2005, 03:05 PM

No real reads. There have been 10 people left for quit a while, so we are 5 handed and playing hand for hand. This is the first resistance anyone has had on a steal.

looks good. no point in calling and hoping for a coinflip. keep opening pots and stay away from ones that have been 3-bet to you.

I don't have this fold in me as I think the button can/should be moving with many dominated hands vs this particular opener.

i honestly cant fold this, but ur much better than me

your folding this because t soprano still has to act again and has you covered, right? or is it because you think the 3bettor has a legit hand?

I am folding because I don't have a time bank to think (used it else where, I guess)

But essentially, yes.

With only 30 seconds to evaluate this, I think you have to fold because:

1. You figure that you are only slightly ahead of the reraiser's range given how tight the table has been playing.
2. The big stack's presence sweetens the pot enough to justify gambling with the reraiser but doesn't sweeten it enough to go broke with your own big stack in 10th when he (the other big stack) does have a real hand.

Given more time to run the numbers, it might be a push, but I think it's going to be slightly +$EV at best.

Later,
Che

i think you're significantly ahead of the 3bettor's range, but the presence of the opener is what makes this tough.

i would be inclined to call.

even getting a lil over 2:1 on his money?
yea, i can buy that.

i also think its a fold because steals have met little resistance thus far, as JJ said, so id wait for a better spot. still have plenty of chips
