$7.00 - A9o in the CO - STT Poker Strategy

Dolph · 02-05-2012, 02:37 AM

I have fiddled with this hand in Wiz and come to the conclusion that it's not a big + or - EV to either push or fold this hand, with the estimated ranges villains could have.
Am I wrong?

What would you do in this spot? At this buy in and against these villains.

Reads:
BTN: 13/8/33 - call preflop raises 9
SB: 15/10/42 - call preflop raises 6 (winning player)
BB: 8/7/54 - call preflop raises 4

Looks like an ok spot, think i shove this with those reads, its close to the bottom of my range tho.

Yea seems like a bottom of our shoving range type shove.

Fwiw, the nice thing about a hand like this is if you run into a player who unexpectedly calls a bit too light, thats usually gonna be w some weaker Ax you dominate (or maybe some KQish type stuff that we're not in terrible shape vs)

Never fold with those guys behind. Honestly I have trouble folding this regardless of who's behind
