PartyPoker $1M hand
Ok, so I was playin the million again this Saturday. This time I haven't busted in level 2 after a big bad bluff. On the other hand I have been steadily building my stack without showing down many hands (1 or 2 I think, total). On to the hand:
600 players left out of 1700 I havent played many hands I have a tight image Blinds 100/200 I have 4100 chips, about avg I'm on the button, looking at AQo Fold to the CO, who MINRAISES to 400 I make it 1000 to go Blinds fold He thinks until 2 secs left then pushes He barely covers me I instacall I'm thinkin now that I shoulda raised more (like 1500-2000), or folded. Too much to risk too early? Flame away peoples BRGDS, |

Some reads on the player would be nice. This is impossible to answer without.

[/ QUOTE ] Geez I feel bad for you when you get moved to a new table or have only played like 10-20 hands at your current table. Every hand must be "impossible" to play. Good thing we are never faced with that situaton when playing online! |

Re: PartyPoker $1M hand
FWIW, I assume that a minraise/minbet is a "come and get deez nuts" thing with these guys until proven differently, so I would have just called and seen the flop.
but yes, you should raise to at least 3x his raise. |

Its just this is a very borderline decision IMO, and I don't think folding or calling is significantly more EV than the other, thats why I think we need a read to push it over the edge in one direction. Barring a read, I say, "It's late position action, so I'm calling..." then I see his TT and smile. Or I see his AK and cry. |

[/ QUOTE ] Okay, the point is that you won't always have a read when you play, so the absence of one in the original post, probably means that the poster (and yourself if you were playing the hand from the posters point of view) doesn't have a read. So try to just answer it anwyay, as you did in your last response [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: PartyPoker $1M hand
You should either flat call his raise, or make a pot committing raise like 1400-2000/allin. AQo on the button and only 20x the BB is a bit too strong for me when facing a small cutoff raise, so I would choose raising to about 1500, and unhappily calling any reraise. |

Re: PartyPoker $1M hand
I see people advocating a call here, but that was never an option of mine. I was thinkin fold or reraise. Am I way off here?

Re: PartyPoker $1M hand
I was reffering to your decision as to what to do to the push.
Personally, I just call PF, although, I sometimes take flops where other 2+2ers seem to advocate preflop aggression. |
