wasn't saying i like 3betting QJ-type hands, i don't at all, i'm just saying there are occasional situations where it could still be a profitable squeeze or plain ol 3bet in that situation, just due to how many folds you get either pre or on the flop (and fwiw in a squeeze scenario if someone who initially called behind calls you again, they have small and mid pairs relatively often, which QJ does well against).

i just think it's even less likely that i'm going to be calling from the blind vs an EP/MP open with QJ, so i didn't really agree with the statement that 3betting with dominated hands is necessarily "worse" than calling with them

 

[bubonicplay]

oh yeah wasn't disagreeing with you blanko especially since there are spots you can squeeze with a napkin and an uno card and show a profit and having blockers against QQ/JJ is just icing on the cake.

Feck, heater has been switched off, -2BI tonight, but -7BI below EV. With my increasing experience online volume wise really feel my mental control is improving a shedload, it's been a while since I really tilted in a session - honestly

Nah I didnt mean 3betting them was worse than calling them vs an EP/MP open, didnt see that in there thought we were talking about squeezing/3betting BTN/Blinds.

Calling them OOP to an EP/MP is absolutely terrible as a TAG range just crushes us.

You're not suckering me into any more prop bets.

 

[slycbnew]

PLO people, how often are you 3 betting from the bb after a sb open?

Nowhere near enough, I'm sure - mostly bigger wraps and bigger pairs. What kind of range are you using against someone who opens sb 20%?

 

[Snowmobiler]

Jesus has anyone here ventured into the tourney section on this site? I'm tilting soooooooo hard omg like I'm the only one arguing that getting all-in early on in a tourney 4-ways with like 40% equity is a good thing are people really that brain dead? I mean omg you might get knocked out of the tourney hiaosdghioasdhoishoiashiohihiaohaoisdhsagdhsxbzchy8947tw2897849325y89hszdgnklbnasjgdhjkszdgsgdz

Can you explain to everyone how you knew you had 40% equity in this pot with ak off against 2 all-in bets in front of you?Your logic only works after you know everyones cards.

[blankoblanco]

he didn't say he knew he had 40% equity. but one might come up with this figure the same way one determines if any shove is a call, by trying to give your opponents a range and estimating your equity against that range

the thing is there are a lot of people in that thread who are saying, even knowing what the hands were, they still would have folded. that if they did know they had 40% equity in a 4way all-in, they would want to fold simply because they're going to lose the majority of the time. i think he was largely addressing that. and folding in a situation like that is not a good idea

i just got my first $50 stellar reward bonus on pstars!!!!! woohoo!!!! wonder if illl play enough hands to get at least one $100 bonus..probably not

 

[Marginal]

As long as they don't adjust all, which most of them do not do, I am 3 betting close to 30% of hands here just for the positional advantage and the knowledge that I can outplay sb postflop. I don't ever expect him to fold preflop but I can take it down on most flops.

This is the hand right ?

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A

, K

1 fold, UTG+1 bets t350, 1 fold, MP2 raises to t5730 (All-In), Hero ??

Its a raise and an over-shove. Its a snap call, without the fistpump. Ill have a look at the thread later on.

 

[Marginal]

Everyone, whose poker knowledge I respect, is saying to shove.

No real need for that tbh, at best its not a reason, at worst its a veiled insult.

But your tourney life is on the line!!!!!!!

euros arent real money

Give me some so........... Tbh I'd probably say the same about dollarrs

 

[eNTy]

dollars is even worse cus its just numbers on a screen
doesnt mean shit anymore

at least when i drop 700 euros it feels a lil bit like real money, even though lately dropping 700 doesnt really feel bad anymore cus its just 3 bi live, but since i have no expenses aside from beer and other fun stuff theres no real sense of 'oh shit i just lost food for a month' or something like that

Thought about folding but figured he never overbets a Q without shoving. The nut low was not what I was expecting. Glad I got his $$ when I did. He lost the rest the following hand and disappeared into the interwebs until he redeposits.

Nothing special, I had him beat, you got to nut peddle at 10PLO or the rake will just kill you. Luckily it works on people who love their top pair.
