Villain is pretty bad, and stacks are level. Shove pre?

If u think he would flat almost every time u're 3bet, yeah, guess is better shove pre. Otherwise we'll be always playing pretty awful flops with awkward stacks. As played, I prefer to check/fold here.

Also, you're 3bet is so big... just jam it!

i think when he opens 3 BB's pre you might as well just jam over....unless you would minraise/fold to his 4b

also you absolutely cannot bet so much/at all otf and then fold...you have to decide to c/f or go with it because you have a good amount invested

Interesting spot, because I struggle a bit with these kind of hands vs lag aggro fish. I dislike jamming, because those guys snapcall with hands they shouldn't with and gamble.

3betting I'm not a fan of either. I think I flat most of the time here.

Generally want far better spots on final tables with mostly lots of idiots on it.


Basically the same with all pairs 55-99. Can someone enlighten us (me) what's optimal in these spots?

With 26 BB left i think i'll shove here even if you facing UTG raise but that's just me.

would just fold pre vs a 3x

i dont know how much we learn from villain making it 3x pre...if villain is actually bad like hero says, villain should be opening all pots to 3x

well he is def bad since he 3x
the 3x from this pos is still strong mostly.
you need a read to do something else besides folding here

if he opens wide in EP and calls AI very tightly (like 5% or so, because he's bad), then shoving 88 pre is +cEV here, but it could be -$EV from ICM perspective, therefore without any reads and odds to setmine, I fold pre
