The pre flop all in call.

Hello everyone!

I am trying to gather some data of Texas Hold'em hands where there is a decision for a pre flop all in call. Either a villain has made a bet to put you all in or they have gone all in for their chips and you are on a call/fold decision.

I have written an app that examine this situation. The info I need is the size of your stack, the bet size, pot size, the big blind and your cards of course. Other information might include other players in the hand yet to act or any other action, but I am not primarily concerned with that.

If there are past threads that have discussed such a scenario that you can think of please let me know, or if you have had a hand like this in the past you would post that would be great! The more marginal the hand the better. I am looking for hands that cause inflection points and not just easy call fold situation.

Re: The pre flop all in call.

Sorry if I was not more clear Omni. Here is an example I what I am looking for.

The blinds are 1000/500. You are holding QJs on the big blind. It is mid to late stage in a MTT. The Button has pushed in for 6000 You have 13000 in your stack so it is 5000 for you to call. The small blind folds.

This is all I am really looking for. Some real life examples of a pre flop all in call situations. If you have an opinion about the hand and how it should be played feel free to add that as well. I am sure in the long history of threads on this site there is probably someone somewhere who has already had a question about analyzing a situation like this. If anyone can point me in that right direction that would be helpful as well.

As for the above hand, does anyone have any opinion on this one? Call or fold?

I have a script that checks the "call any" button when I am in the BB.

Re: The pre flop all in call.

So you want us to give random hands of people calling in these spots?

You haven't given enough information with the given hand. The BU tendencies, and the his stack size/SB stack are crucial information. You're getting 1.5:1, so that should be a fairly +ev call most of the time.




Why would you ever want such a script?

This doesn't make any sense. What is it you're trying to do?

Re: The pre flop all in call.

K-10 early in a MTT tournament blinds are 100-200 there are 3 limpers. Button goes all in for 1050 you are 2nd to last limper and it is folded to you. The all in player has only played 2 hands Pocket 66's hit open ended straight and lost to QQ and this one. You have about 3000 chips.

Thank you AirPaulie, I think this is great example hand. Exactly what I was looking for. This, I would say is a pretty solid call situation, even though the player has showing down strength, the blinds are getting high compared to his stack. He could be moving with less than real value. Did you see this hand come to a show down by any chance?

Great example hand. I agree on the call, but it is a marginal one. Did you see this hand play out? Do you mind if I ask if you had any info on the player if so? Aggressive or Tight?

Fabricated hands are fine if they are realistic or if they are just coming from memory and closely proximate how the hand was played out. I am looking for as many hands as people are willing to post. Thanks for the help!
