He is literally burning money jamming JJ/TT here vs my actual range, its crazy that he can really punt this in with A4s, I'm not being bitter btw, I came 2nd, thats a great result, just find it crazy high stakes crushers can do this kind of thing. I think tis exactly the kind of thing that happens in live tournaments, way, way too much ego and people petrified that people are "going after them"
Here is if I'm going after him a little bit (12.8% of all hands) I would be flatting a tonne here in these positions so that means I'm vpiping against him extremely wide..
Even if I 3bet 15% (+ peel an additional v wide range) he still doesn't have a profitable jam
I think its a very clear limp pre for him anyway with his whole range here anyway.
Anyway, whatever, math is idiotic. Wasn't ranting I promise, was actually really intrigued in the results after because at the time I was like wtffffff and then in game I thought, hey perhaps it isn't THAT bad because he is v good reg.
Was also my first 3bet vs him so far on this final table, if he did think I was going absolutely bananas with a 20% 3bet + a peeling range, then he could raise and 4bjam almost every single hand.
The thing is, this is not super unrealistic range and in certain spots people will be even wider, so there will definitely be spots 4bet jamming A4s will be good, but you're literally just guessing or gambling on big big pay jumps simply on trying to "own" and "out level" people, I think you basically have 2 options, raise and decide if you think he's ****ing with you and go all in and risk all your chips if you think he is, or.. create a very good limping range and take him to the streets.
This crazy range has all the KQo, KJo, QJ, QTo etc that are preeetttyy easy flats, so the range is obviously extremely exaggerated.
Booked a flight home to Budapest for tomorrow, not sure if I will get it tomorrow or if I'll stay and play the 10k high roller on Thursday, really undecided right now, lets see how I sleep.
