Interesting scenario:/ what would you do?

#1 30th June 2009, 6:02 AM

I was involved in this hand last nite ikn a 1000 "freeroll" at Jungle poker. Put yourself in the position of the BB and tell me what you would do.

Down to 3 left. I am on the button with 52,000 in chips. The SB has 9000 and the BB has 58,000. 3rd pays $140, 2nd $200, 1st $300. blinds are 1000/2000.

I move all in with AJs (not the optimal move here but thats a story for another time) trying to get the SB to commit himself. SB folds. BB looks down at pocket 7s. What do you do?

seeing as the sb is really short and u can almost guarantee an extra 60$ and be even chips HU, i fold the 77. also because at best, i would be flipping with button

btw, ur shove is absolutely terrible

That's a pretty easy fold. I'm just going to hide behind my stack, and let the obvious donk (the guy who pushed from the button, with no hand in poker being right to push there) battle it out with the short stack until I get to heads up.

Should have kept it small ball with a 5-7k raise, irregardless if you wanted to "price out" a non premium hand from the BB. As per the BB, it's a clear fold, unless I had the bullets or possibly even KK. a 25x raise from any position usually signifies the clear strength of a big pair for the most part.

lol at juliek calling you a donk, but yeah that is a very easy fold, the two chip leaders should be working together to get rid of the short stack and 77 is at best a flip.

I call to punish the fool who shoved with 26 big blinds. O_O Seriously, what were you thinking?

that's not really small ball, but still a valid move, not to be misunderestimated.

edit: To make my post vaguely constructive, have you heard of ICM? There's a lot of information online about it, you should look it up if you haven't heard of it. Basically it involves converting players stack sizes into equity in the prize pool. Sometimes decisions that are +EV in terms of chips are -EV in terms of actual money (in the form of payouts).

This is an easy fold. Blind out the short stack and slide into 2nd place. Why jeopardize $60.00 more on the payout while patience for 3 more minutes would take you there. Furthermore you still have a better opportunity to play for $300.00. Folding is the smarter move.
