01-09-2008 , 10:46 PM
both are superstandard

I'd make the second one with AK high pbb
01-09-2008 , 10:53 PM
Let me guess, you lost both hands.
01-09-2008 , 10:56 PM
both are standard although i don't look him up with A high in the 2nd one

Are you saying both are standard? I don't think they are automatic calls but whatever I'd be interested in hearing some thoughts, remember that I had not noticed anything abnormal about their post-flop play (small sample but mega fish obv make themselves known pretty fast).

obv not looking him up with A high but Im sure poster felt pretty radical making that statement.
01-09-2008 , 11:05 PM
I fold the first one on the turn

in hand 1 you are pretty much priced in to call his min3bet and also priced in to call his weak flop bet with your top pair + gutshot

so calling his turn shove is the only semi difficult decision. it is less than pot so you need about 30% equity vs his range


you have 25% or a bit more equity against QQ+, AKs. so it is a marginal fold if he has that tight a range.

given that his range is likely much larger, you have to call here

thats assuming he shoves ak high which isnt necessarily a correct assumption and by widening his range a bit id have to include TT or JJ as the most likely first additions to his range which isnt good. The reason I called the first 1 on the turn is cause in my experience these players just jam flops with their overpairs.
01-09-2008 , 11:37 PM
i only put out AKs and 1/4 of the time he has the NFD which he will be shoving all the time

thinking about the hand more, it would be a much easier call except for the horrible turncard that counterfeits our 2 pair outs

when i say his range is wider i mean that donks usally have massively polarized 3betting ranges so i think after QQ+, AKs the next hand that he might add could well be JTs or something funky like that. ok, i see JJ also being 3bet, but after that he is calling with alot of hands like KQ or TT

Second hand is a fist-pump call, villain can show basically any pair here.

First hand is pretty close I think. Preflop and flop are standard, but I think more than likely we are drawing to six outs, by the time he shoves the turn.

To be honest I'm finding it hard to put villain on a range his preflop play screams like a big pair (or AK) but sometimes you'll see a fish do this with absolute rubbish. I think he plays most of his preflop range like this (if he did raise with K6s it wasn't to check fold the turn). I think what happened in the two/three hands before this is relevant here. If villain recently lost a big pot I'd probably call, otherwise, a 31/11 doesn't min-3bet without the goods often enough to justify the call.
01-10-2008 , 12:52 AM
I'd fold the turn on the first
01-10-2008 , 12:52 AM
And obviously snap call the second.

uuuummm, no, i make calls like this a lot

i didn't say 'ace high' i said 'AK high' for a reason

villains can shove highcards here a lot, and our equity vs highcards/pairs is a lot better with AK then it is with lets say A7

these are 2 calls i made yesterday, not too brag like you seem to think, but to show you the hands villains can have ... i keep making calls like this bc they have highcards a rather large amount of the time

this is not the place to argue about whether the hands are played well or not (had a read in the first, none in the second) but you'd be suprised how much certainly hand 2 are highcards ...

too lazy to do the math right now but i don't think villain needs to shove highcards a high % of the time to make calling AK in hand 2 from OP +ev
01-10-2008 , 12:57 AM
Those hands are completely different as their 3 bet pots (and with presumably TAGs) - not some infantile ****** that bought in short.
01-10-2008 , 12:59 AM
folding the first one wouldn't be bad
01-10-2008 , 01:01 AM
I fold turn in hand 1, snapcall hand 2.
01-10-2008 , 01:05 AM
vs this range, calling hand 2 from op is +ev

randomly clicked a lot of 9s, some fours some trees, the OESD, some shoves with highcards, and J7 for the ******ed bluff

Board: 9d 4c 3s
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 36.818% 36.66% 00.16% 918990 3924.00 { AKo }
Hand 1: 63.182% 63.03% 00.16% 1579842 3924.00 { TT-22, AJs, A9s, KJs+, K9s, Q9s, J9s, T9s, 96s+, 74s, 64s+, 54s, 43s, AQo, A9o, KQo, K9o, QJo, Q9o, J9o, J7o, T9o, 74o, 64o+, 43o }

it might be close but calling AK certainly is not a big mistake in hand 2 imho

If we get to the flop in H1, why arent we shoving?

I really don't like this play, by just calling the flop, he's still shoving his fds on the turn and sometimes his pure garbage and now we have better equity against his draws obviously, I think flop is a standard call (especially with 1 person behind us).
01-10-2008 , 02:28 AM
ahhhh didnt see there was someone behind us. Carry on

I agree. Decisions come up that are so close it's what I have seen referred to as a "meh" spot. Calling or folding AK in a spot like hand 2 is not a huge mistake ether way.

Sounds like you believed the first hand to be an easy call.

Personally, I call on both hands. Weak players show up with all kinds of crap when they make a leading shove.
01-10-2008 , 05:30 PM
fold the 1st on the turn, snap the second
