TT Hand, Play Along

[WSOP Bound]

I've got questions about my play on almost all streets, but will post it out there piece-by-piece so i don't influence the answers for each.

Stats shown in (VP$IP / PFR / PFAR # hands)

UTG is TA-P (18.33% / 8.33 / .73 60 hands)
UTG+1 LP-P (54.0% / 2.0 / 1.13 50 hands)
MP1 TA-P (13.5% / 7.56 / 1.67 116 hands)
MP3 LP-P (66.67% / 0.0 / 0.0 27 hands) *
Button (42.86% / 7.14 / 3 14 hands)
SB (62.5% / 31.25 / .92 16 hands).

*Have seen MP3 play pocket kings and a flopped 2nd-nut flush without finding a reason to bet/raise on any street

There has been a lot of action in front of me and I can't be convinced that I have the bast hand. But there is a lot of money out there, is this a standard call? What hands ranges are we putting each player on? (I'd comment on the hand ranges, but this hands took place last night and I'm afraid that at this point my opinion would be skewed by the results) If we call this are we playing purely for set value?

I call. The pot is big, and you're holding the 5th best hand in hold em. You're easily getting the implied odds necessary to play for a set, and there's a nonzero chance you currently have the best hand. You're also interested to see if MP caps. That will make your postflop decisions that much easier.

When I see this I'm thinking strong. AA-TT AK-AJs

Looks like a maniac. Without any other information, I'd give him a face card or low PP.


Me being the poor player that I am, I'd cap this and pray for the set. What the hell, If you are going to hit it, hit it big.

[JKDStudent]

Eh. I'm calling here just to see if MP1 will cap or not.

[imported_The Vibesman]

I'd call, see if MP1 caps, if he does we may be playing for a set but otherwise I would just be mindful of any overcards falling. I really don't understand PT stats, I don't have PT, but is that saying SB raises about 4 times as much preflop as the average person at the table? If that is accurate I'm not worried about his raise at all.

I usually do, too, but this preflop decision isn't quite as obvious as some. I don't mind it here.

[Fantam]

I would call this and perhaps even cap preflop.

MP1 looks pretty tight, so I would imagine he could be on either a high pocket pair AA-TT or AK or AQ. If he is position aware then he could be on a wider range of hands, such as KQ,AJ,ATs,KJs etc.

The reason I might cap is because SB looks a bit wild with those stats (although 16 hands is not much of a sample size).

Apart from flopping a set, I would be looking for a flop that was all undercards to my TT and hoping that both MP1 and SB only had overcards.

[Redd]

If we were in position, I could cap it to isolate the LAG. Being OOP, getting a discount, and curious to see what the PFR does (we're not really concerned about the guy that's raised 5 of the past 16 hands yet), I call this for information, getting odds to improve, and possibly being best.

[baronzeus]

I cap here 100% of the time.
