Pokerstars micro. Can't find any info about blind structure. Is it 5min for 1$, 10min for 2$, 10min for 2$ (4man) and 5min for 2$ (4man) turbo?

Hero ($1,370)

Dealt to Hero 9 Q

Hero raises to $120, calls $60

FLOP ($240) 9 T 6

bets $1,510 (AI), Hero folds

good fold ofc, 2nd time doesn't give u any guarantees that he is doing it without tp. these bad players r able to play good hands this way. u r still deep and can easily wait for a better spot. avoid marginal spots at lower stakes against ez targets

Yeah, 5 min levels for turbos, 10 min levels for reg speed.

Hi, just working on my math here and would like a little help.

Obviously on the flop we have no fold equity. I expect my Q to be good here as well, so figure I have about 12 outs = 45% equity more or less. So calling isn't an option, just wondering how I figure out my equity needed to call (an by call I mean shove).

Hero (BTN/SB): t860 17.20 BBs
BB: t2140 42.80 BBs

Pre Flop: (t75) Hero is BTN/SB with Q 8
Hero raises to t100, BB calls t50

Flop: (t200) 3 J 4 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t120, BB raises to t350, Hero raises to t760 all in, BB calls t410

Turn: (t1720) 8 (2 players - 1 is all in)

River: (t1720) 2 (2 players - 1 is all in)


Pot is 670 after his c/r and I have 640 behind

I guess lets assume he will fold .05% of the time I fold

equity = (0.05 * 670) + (.095 * .45 * 1720) - (.95 * .55 * 1720)
= 33.5 + 735.3 - 898.7
= - 129.9 chips

So if I fold I lose 220 chips but if I shove I'm losing 129.9

Is this right?

[spamz]

no
the cbet chips and raise pre is a sunk cost

[MrRunsGoood]

Thanks spamz,
so to figure out pot odds needed to shove/call, pretty much take my stack/pot

640/1720 = 37.2% equity needed.

my quick rule over the thump is. when the villain goes all in in the 1st hand
or is pretty spewy and shoves every hand at the beginning of the match.

i call with TT+ AQ+ maybee KQs+
i open up this range later depending on my villain and gameflow.

[spamz]

i think contemplating adding KQ and not AJ is a pretty big mistake in spots like that

[newroot]

thanx - added to my list

When i'm getting bored of playing i watch sometimes the higher stakes husngs on stars and it seems that almost all players minraise.No 3x,not even at 10/20.Why?

[Doggg]

Fifth hand. Opp limped every button so far and seems loose/passive.

Ez fold, right?

Opp would have to be nuts doing this with q9 or a set?
