Chip equity question at small $20 home tournament I went to.

Down to three.

1st: $200
2nd: $106
3rd: $0

Me: ~80k in chips
Player to left: ~75k in chips
Player to right: ~55k in chips

Skill of players is probably Left > Right = Me

Also there's a high hand thing going, which I have at the moment with kings full of tens.

3 way chop for $102 each is discussed. I would get that, plus the $45 high hand.

Do it?

Yes. It’s a home game, if they want to do it don’t kill yourself for $5 in equity.

Next guy shows t966 no hearts.

Wait...

2nd guy raises the flop with a pair, a gutter, and a couple of blockers? Or am I just reading that wrong.

Way too many cards to figure it out.

More email poker:

3 limpets to me in the BB ($150/300). Two have 100k stacks, one has 15k, I have 50k & black KQo.
I make it 1300 more, they all call.

Flop is kq2, 2 diamonds.
I bet 5000 into 6500odd, next stack ships 100k. Fold fold. 45000 for me to call.

I have two hands on villain of note:
- He bet/called a massive oberbet shove w AA unimproved on the flop in a 3bp.
- He bet/flatted a raise w AT on KQJr and then checked to the raiser on a blank turn.

it depends. if you're trying to extricate yourself from this email poker tournament, like your opponent is, then you should fold.

place your remaining electronic chips in the middle of the electronic table

the electronic fist pump is optional but recommended

What are expecting to see? I figured it made no sense for 22, but guessed the nfd was pretty likely.

Anyway I called because I always call, turn diamond, river blank and mhig vs AdJx

some kind of combo draw most likely IMO, like J9dd wouldn't have surprised me

there's like eight hands that beat us and they can't have two of them and if he has 22 good luck

Playing 1/2 4-handed, guy to our right is straddling every time we're on BTN and playing a little loose. Other two players fairly standard competent regs.

What should our BTN raising range be?

40%+ of hands depending on how often everyone is defending and how competent everyone is post.

Anyway I moved tables to chase the guy who happily stacks off £500 with fourth pair at 1/1.

Card rooms outside London are so much better.

Except the £1 chips are yellow, which is weird.

I assume were bluffing because we don't expect him to have a boat?

Probably fine if so.

I raise double suited kkq6 to 40 otb, 4 callers, flop kj7 rainbow, checks to me I bet 150 two callers, turn 9d checks to me I check, River blank first caller bets 700 into 650 next guy sighs a lot and folds.

Reads are there first guy is at least capable of bluffing and play like 45%vpip, think the second guy may have folded t8 based on his reaction.
