TruFloridaGator · #1 10-11-2005, 05:55 PM

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) converter

Button (t3320)
SB (t1385)
BB (t1760)
UTG (t990)
MP1 (t2950)
Hero (t2015)
CO (t1080)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP1 raises to t450, Hero raises to t2015, 4 folds, MP1 calls t1565.

Flop: (t4255) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)

Turn: (t4255) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: (t4255) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: t4255

He raises about every other pot, called all ins for 80% of his stack w/ A5, KQ. Is it too early to push regardless of my hand strength here and based on the read?

My default line is to fold this hand. Your stack is pretty healthy at this point and there are still 4 players left to act. I usually give some respect to a raise from EP by the big stack and I don't want to coinflip here for all my chips.

Still getting a feel for these Stars turbos myself. But, yeah, against a loose raiser I think this is a call. Especially since the blinds are likely to be going up within the next 2 hands. 77 is probably a fold, I'd think twice with 88 and then flip a coin.

By the way, 31-3. Roll Tide. Got any video clips from that game (besides Prothro's Theismannesque injury)?

I fold here. You're in great shape, 3rd place, w/ about 13xbb. To early to push here. Villain likes his hand. You could be folding best hand, but I am not going all-in w/ 99 when I am in great shape (6-7 people left), don't even have money in pot. Be patient... I might have even called his bet (given your read) and folded or possibly pushed flop (since it is a fav board for you)... but I most likely would fold pf.

Sorry, meant to say push. Certainly a push/fold situation here.

I don't like a cold call here with that many people left to act. This is either a push or fold for me.

Looks fine based on your read. Otherwise, I would fold.

Gotta pop those LAGs back when you think you have the best of it. If it doesn't work out, such is life.
