LP with pocket Qs, EP all in 12BB gets a call, do I fold? - Page 2 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

I really don't think there's any hand that can profitably flat 30% of our stack where it's easy to play the flop, other than maybe doing this to get cute with AA.

I agree with your range, my first thought was that AJs would be in a difficult spot in this situation.

I thought about AJs here, but decided that given MPs call and absent any reads I would rather muck it. If say we were BB and it was just a shorty shipping in 12BB and folded to us then I am probably calling with anypair/AT+

EP open shoves 12xBB
MP, who we have no info on and covers us, calls the 12xBB shove
Action to us, and there are 3-4 players to act behind

What's the worst XX we shove with?
What's the best XX we fold?

Thank you for saving this thread.

Dont take it personally.

If I was you - I would poke my way through the Concept of the Week threads in the micro- full-ring forum.

I think you have about 6 months reading in there to improve your game

Hope that helps.

I never play with less than 100 BB, so maybe my advice might we wack, but I'm shipping my 40BB here all day every day with QQ this short. Unless I've got a read on MP caller that he's a super nit. And even then I'm still probably shipping.

Thank you for compliment. I wouldn't have hijacked or even bothered but the thread, which was fairly comical, kept going. The thought simply occured to me that the potential for it being interesting was there with a different holding than the obviously-sending-it-in-QQ
