splashpot · #1 11-01-2005, 08:43 PM

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

BB (t2265)
UTG (t2950)
Button (t2820)
Hero (t1965)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t200, Button calls t200, Hero??

None of the players stood out to me so assume no reads.

I would shove, unless UTG has been very aggressive and suddenly the limp is unusual and out of character.

Kinda tough spot.

If you don't have a read that either of these players like to limp, I'd be wery wery careful.

Call for $100, I guess, and hope BB checks and I spike a set.

As always, it's read dependent...

Villian plays well, I might get weak tight and look for a monster under the bed, especially if he has been making a bigger standard range.

In the abscence of a read or with reading a poor player, I shove fast and hard

Button's limp doesn't bother me much, it probably means paint and that's about it, or some mid pair. But, sure, if UTG limping is unusual complete is the way to go, else I'm shoving this.

Ok. I'm still getting used to the 1000 starting stacks. I need to get used to when pushing/folding works and such. Continuation of this hand:

I completed. BB raised to 900. 2 folds. 700 for me to call.

Fold now??

tigerite · #8 11-01-2005, 08:54 PM

I'd probably push, again.

Fold. I can't think I'm better than a coin flip here. I'll take my chances with 9BB left.

Possibly, but there is the chance he folds, I reckon he would even as much as 20% of the time here. Given that, and the huge amount of dead money in the pot, it seems like a push wouldn't be far wrong to me. But I'd very rarely get into this situation, as most times I'd have just pushed to begin with.
