1/2. I have 100BB, full ring.

Folds to CO who pots. He's got 50bb, is loose, spewy, opening prob about 50%.

BTN repots. He covers.

BTN is a TAG as far as i can tell. I haven't seen him get out of line but he's a bit new to me. I do not know if he is recognizing CO's looseness, and also adjusting to it by 3-betting wider.

SB folds.
I have (A4)(89)2 DS in BB.




Been running random sims for past little while (hero's hand vs other two players, tightening and loosening ranges on both sides). I'm having a hard time finding enough sims that put us below 30% equity. For most part, everything's pretty close to 33% with a tick below or above.

So basically, is this pretty much a really easy cold call pre? Any circumstances in which I would ever be straight up folding? Any arguments for just potting and going with it vs a maniac/TAG?

Thanks

I'd definitely call if CO really opens 50%. He has many weak and dominated hands then and probably plays them too loose post flop as well.

Margins in 5 card are so so slim. It costs $24 (?) to see a flop? I don't think you repot there. I prefer to see a multi way pot as cheap as possible with that hand

Fold? I'd you think the CO is going to repot all-in and you dont want to get carried away, but you're pretty deep and it's not a crazy call to see the flop IMO.

Yeah good point. That was for sure the case with this player.

Yeah somehow I didn't think about that, and that's a huge factor. CO is definitely the type to repot and go all in here pre. So my 3b cold call is often a straight up 3-way for 50bb's and HU vs the other guy for the other 50bbs.

I wouldn’t say that often. When you call it’s scary, the guy has to be clueless and a maniac to jam. I like call. Fold is reasonable. Jam seems very bad.

yeah, at this point in time he had lost a few all ins already or was getting quartered. i'd say in the past several hands he was going all in here with a fairly high frequency. but in general yeah i agree, it wouldn't often be an auto all in by the 50bb guy, otherwise.

Pretty straightforward call for me, hand seems slightly too strong to fold.. i am ok folding the bottom 20-25% or so of a2xxx hands (would need to look at a list to specify) to tag raiser on this type of action normally

Call and get aggravated when cutoff repots and button repots for 100 Bigs.

I don't like jam. Your equity goes poof on many flops, that save you money versus full run out sims.

Get good flop, then play poker.
