Re: Final Table Hand from 180 player SNG/MTT
I like a push here; I think it looks more like a steal bet and villian may make a loose call. I had a very similar situation come up; some guy who had been raising a lot and from whom I had recently doubled through, exposing his loose raise requirements, he raised from middle position, I had AK in the BB, thought about calling, small re-raise (I wouldn't have been pot-committed with a small- to medium raise), but I decided he probably had crap, so I pushed to induce a call (it was a $5 45-player SNG). He IMMEDIATELY called getting odds under 2:1. He had 8-7o. I was ecstatic that I played it so well, then an 8 came on the flop, and I was out. Oh well.

Three hands earlier the villain had raised preflop to 4200 and I reraised to 8000 with AK offsuit. He called and folded to my 8000 bet on a 9d4h2h flop. [/ QUOTE ] This is a ridiculously small reraise. He raised it 2600 and you raised him 3800 more. You need to be raising it to at least 11000 here or else he's getting absolutely ridiculous odds to call. 5 to 1 odds to call a raise preflop is way too much. Never do that to him. I honestly would push when reraising with AK unless the stacks are over 50 bb's. Your raise is substantial and your only choice of a bet after the flop is all-in, and pushing on a board of 25Tr doesn't look too spectacular. Both cases, push preflop. |

PokerStars 20 table SNG/MTT. Final table and all 9 players are still in. I have 46,000 which is 3rd in chips. Blinds are 800/1600 with 75 ante and the villain has been raising frequently since it got down to the final 18 players. Three hands earlier the villain had raised preflop to 4200 and I reraised to 8000 with AK offsuit. He called and folded to my 8000 bet on a 9d4h2h flop. This time the villain has raised to 5200 and again I have AK offsuit. Do I play this hand the same way? How about pushing to put him to the test? I don't feel flat calling is an option but I would like to hear what others think about how to play this hand. Results to follow. [/ QUOTE ] Anyone think that this would be a good spot for a Stop -N- Go? Where's Greg at? |

Re: Final Table Hand from 180 player SNG/MTT
I decided to push this time figuring I had some fold equity. He thought for a long time before calling with 55. I didn't catch anything and doubled him up. I think it was the correct play and if I win the hand I am the chipleader by a decent margin.
Any thoughts on what you would call with if you were the one raising preflop and were reraised all-in getting 1.7-1 odds? |
