mini-step 4 hand, AQ facing an all-in
mini step 4 $165 buy-in
5 left 1-2 get mini step 5 3-5 get mini step 4 Seat 1: Hero (1105) Seat 7: ohmyblob (310) Seat 8: LIV3STRONG (580) Seat 9: JackSeven333 (1185) Seat 10: daBrock111 (6820) ohmyblob posts small blind (150) LIV3STRONG posts big blind (300) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Hero [ Qd, Ah ] JackSeven333 raises (900) to 900 daBrock111 folds. hero ??? Because of the blinds stacks jacks raise could be a hand far inferior to AQ could it not. Also 3-5th pay the same so if i beat jack here i should be guaranteed second place. however, i didnt like the situation i'd rather be the bettor naturally here. any thoughts |

Re: mini-step 4 hand, AQ facing an all-in
Call. He knows you don't want to play a big pot without a monster and likely has a hand that he wants to play against the shortstacks if anything. AQ is probably quite good against his range, and you're already guaranteed another shot. I'd say it's a race or you're dominating him.

Re: mini-step 4 hand, AQ facing an all-in
With the payout structure and chip position, it would be absolutely insane to fold this.
Here's why: -Waiting out the small stacks is pointless. 3-5 get paid the same. -Busting the bettor virtually assures you the step 5 entry. Busting the other 2 or doubling through the leader doesn't mean nearly as much to you. -You have a strong hand -You have <4 bbs, as does the bettor. I can't imagine a compelling reason to fold this. If you lose the hand, so what? You aren't likely to get into a better situation than this. |

Re: mini-step 4 hand, AQ facing an all-in
i am glad that you agreed with my call.
it was an odd hand as i called and both shorties called too but jacks ako won and they were down to two from five in one hand. i wasnt too bothered that jack won or what his hand was, it was whether or not i played the situation right. So im gald you agreed with my decision. Cheers guys |
