Well, he only needs about 30% (or so) against your range since you're playing short. It was the ridiculous 27bb open that put him in that spot to begin with that was positively terrible. Something tells me that player is playing more to gamble than to try and grind a profit. Just a hunch.

Why is the OP playing short stacked in the first place? How about actually buying into a game like everyone else?

Yeah I knew it was just slightly less. 27.7 × 3 is 83.1 and it was 83 cents to call. Not bad for some quick math on the fly eh. :)

oh yeah! you're right! I watched him play - he's very excitable and does not vazny money in profits .... he plays on intuition and always makes a very big bets before the flop if comes to the bank! curious character ... and by the way on the distance it is possible to profit! player from canada ...

Had several outs to a straight draw or color, I would have done the same, which I think well that you have matched, I do not see the problem.

The better question is why did he raise 27BB preflop? His call shouldn't surprise you at all after that.

Exactly. Lots of outs. OP claims the villain had 2 outs. :eek:

What do you mean "outs?" QJs against KK has less than 20% equity, so the only way it'd be correct to call is if he was getting better than 4:1 on his money. He's only getting just over 2:1.

There aren't "outs" before the flop, only hand vs hand/range equity.

This whole thread is just puzzling.

Am I the only one who's surprised OP won the hand? When I got to the river I was thinking, well, we have a FH and he didn't bink his T so... we won. Very odd.

Why did such a great opponent preflop having the JQs?
and why he answered my all-inn? sometimes surprise me some players!
The raise is baffling, but the call not so much as he is now headsup with an allin, or will be when he calls.
I just guessing but I think you are actually asking here is "have I mislabeled this player as 'great'?
More than likely yes, if he left very soon after this hand, then it's possible he was intending to exit soon and saw this as a possible good hand to leave on. ??

I responded to the wrong thread. Weird co-incidence. There was another thread with a very similar title. :)

Yeah, the $0.54 is the part that doesn't make sense. Anyone opening like that is most likely not going to know how to interpret your 3bet and at that point they only need 3:1 odds to call.

The incomprehensible move was the 0.54 raise with qj suit, i mean, its quite obvious your facing a fish, a tilted player, or maybe he misclicks and bet 27 bb without any intention. then he calls your bet because I suppose he doesnt wanted to throw away 0.54 cents and decided to risk 0.83 more to get lucky and fixed his mistake. after all you could be having in the best scenario 99 or 10 10 giving villain good odds to pay.

it´s a typing mistake, i´m sure of that, what is not clear is why he called after the shove?
well this is what is unclear to me, as you posted, from the position he had is very weird what he did both times, but maybe he was mad about he mistype and went to pay, i kind of tilt
what is good for you it´s that you took his errors on your account

I didnt see any other hands this guy played but what really made you label him as "great player"?

He OPEN raises UTG+1 27xbb with QJ suited! I believe its probably as rock0001 said, most likely a fish or a tilted player wanting to gamble for his last dollars, thats very common at this stakes.
