Default Unintentional angleshoot leads to push

$1/2, 200max, Turning Stone.

I got to the table less than 15 minutes ago.

Standard open at these tables is $12, so I oblige in LP with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

SB min-raises me $10 more, the 2 limpers get out of the way, and I call.

Flop (~$50): T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB bets $30.

I have him on precisely the following hand range:
{ AA no spade (because I have A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]), KK or QQ with or without spade, and possibly A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] }

I declare 'raise'. I throw out the $30 to call first, as I often do.

I'm thinking of how much to raise, when Villain announces "call" in a very dejected fashion. I'm now almost positive he has a premium pair with no spade.

I don't say anything, but the dealer points out that I didn't actually raise yet.

I instantly move in for $178 total. He has me covered.

I think this is the right play anyway; let's now assume $400 stacks instead for the sake of argument. Do you still move in here? pot-sized raise? does this turn the hand into a call instead?

twodimes.net can check your probability of your hand given that range. You know you have no fold equity so I might just take the hint and minimum raise for a cheap draw. On a side note, how is the Stone...I'm in Ithaca for school and am thinking about making a few trips if it's profitable (I hear the rake is atrocious and the play isn't as bad a tourist casinos but i'm only going on 20 anyway)

twodimes actually doesn't do ranges, but PokerStove does.

Villain folded AA face up. That was basically the point of this play.

I go to Cornell too, remember? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm going up there on Saturday with my friend Mike, staying over the night, and coming back on Sunday. If you want in, you should join. Hit me a PM!

Are sure who the angleshooter was here? He may have been trying to get a read on your hand. I would make my normal raise (~$60) and see where it goes from there.

BTW -- I predict that villain probably has QJo so you are gold [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You'd usually min-raise here?

If he was trying to get a read on my hand, he probably got the read he wanted when I pushed all-in, didn't he?

The best I can do vs. his hand range is to be almost even (vs. QQ, or a little behind vs. KK), or ahead of only A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I want this fold... and if he thinks he gets a read by seeing how much I like my hand, then that's good for me.

I raise $60 more, which should be 3/4 pot or so (if my math is correct.) Though if the villain is solid, a min-raise should scare the life out of him and make it easier for him to fold to your turn push.

if he annouced "call" isn't he bound to calling even though he acted out of turn?

He might be, but I think this would only be enforced if I were going to pursue it.

I thought he was committed to a call just as you were the raise [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]. Makes more sense now.
