Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is SB with A J
3 folds, MP1 calls t20, MP2 calls t20, CO calls t20, BTN calls t20, Hero calls t10, BB checks

Flop: (t120) 6 7 J (6 players)
Hero checks, BB bets t80, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t80, CO calls t80, BTN folds, Hero raises to t475

How's my line?
Obv I only check with the intention of raising.
Is sizing ok?
07-17-2010 , 02:22 PM
imo just bet/fold this 6, u raise huge part of your stack for very smell pot when there all sort of sets and 2pair hands.

Turn: (t12045) 4 (3 players - 3 are all in)

River: (t12045) Q (3 players - 3 are all in)

The UTG+1 is likely *very* crappy, overplaying hands that are not strong enough and making aggressive raises in stupid spots and for bad amounts, so I'm sure he's crap and playing a LOT of hands here.
Not sure about MP. Does MP make it a fold?

MP probably makes this a fold; you could call UTG's push imo given your reads. Open shoving 77 can't be that bad imo given your stack; you can open for 440ish too.

2 folds, Hero ?????

This is a spot I have trouble with. KQs with 15BBs, especially pre antes. I feel like raise folding costs us too many chips, but shoving 15 BBs here I don't know that we are getting called down with worse often enough for this to be profitable since we only get 1.5 BBs when we take down the pot but can potentially lose 15 when getting called by better. Is anyone folding this? I usually just shove because that's easier but I dunno. Thoughts appreciated.
UTG and pre antes this is a fold. I will start shoving with 10BBs or less though

Ths just smacks of bad fish playing a flush/gutted straight draw with out odds.
I think that I fold it and be quite unhappy about it.
Also, check behind on the river. With the flush getting there you aren't getting calls from worse and only getting raised by bluffs that we can't call down and made hands that we are way behind of.

Pre,flop and turn seems fine ,but w/o offense, wtf are we doing OTR ?? Our hand has big showdown value,we bet <1/4 pot and we're def not getting called by much worse,easy check behind IP imo.

haha I hear ya

Imo b/fing small OOP OTR can't be that bad,but the pot is pretty big atm so any bet is a big % of our stack;perhaps OOP betting 180 and folding to a shove seems ok, but much more as a blocking bet than a valuebet. Villain reshoves on our bet OTR w/ worse like 0% of the time imo.

I'd like to hear more thoughts though,if we were OOP.

This is from a $12/180 final table. Shover was 15/10 over about 40 hands. I'm second in chips. It feels like a call, but I'm not sure if the ICM considerations of the 2 short stacks (1 super short) make this a fold. Thoughts?

I don't think it's that close. Villain is basically only shoving 10xBB effective since you are all too short. If he is a regular and knows his shoving ranges, he is probably shoving any pair, any ace, good kings, Q9+, JT. Unless he is a tight regular, a call here is certainly +EV. With 55 or below I would probably fold..

Is this really just normal, 1.5k games about break even? Those are only 180 men turbos 3,3r and 12$, do you experience that often? I am mostly just 8-12 tabling.
