Tried to convert your hand but it's not showing your hole cards. If you post the exact full hand history; I can convert it for you.


Not a fan with how you played any part of this hand tbh mate. Fold to the 3B pre. He has 24bb; we have chip lead, if you think he's 3betting light which isn't likely at these stakes, I'd much prefer 4B shoving as opposed to flat calling.

His range looks quite strong here, given his 3B size of a 24bb stack, and we aren't deep enough to flat and all his range has us crushed. As played; probably just shove the flop, we could have some FE vs some hands which are ahead of us (77-TT,AJ,AK,Ax) + nut flush draw as the back up if called. Really dislike the flop call though, given we're committed to call the turn, we have now lost our FE and you're likely going to call a turn shove we should just be trying to maximize our FE by shoving the flop. We just simply aren't deep enough to call to hit our flush draws here, Turn is obviously a call as played we have nut flush draw + OESD.

These are in order of how I think you should of played, Fold pre, 4B shove pre (if he's light), shove flop, call turn.

Obvious we need to know more about villains 3bet tendecies.

 

[MasterOfDisaster]

Don't you have 3bet stats? And are you using a HUD?

Was playing on my pad, so no..but the villain had been quite loose throughout the game.

 

[MasterOfDisaster]

If he 3bets much , I am inclined to 4bet shove pre here with your hand.

Converted hand.

Also; if the guy has been loose then for sure just 4B shove pre is going to be much better. Fold equity is key in tournaments when effective stack size are so short like this, we just don't have the room to make A3s profitable to call here.

Still got a lot to learn..thanks.

fold or shove preflop (I'd lean toward fold unless you have a read that he 3bets very light...even a light 3bet range frequently beats us, the question is will he call?)

Jam or fold the flop, I'd lean toward jam. He should fold most AK, AJ,AT type hands, he'll call with AQ or KQ and probably QJ. He might fold small to medium pocket pairs fearing you hit the Queen...

 

[DaveE]

I don't see a flush there and there's 2 Qc?

 

[jaworek1405]

Ok, you are chipleader. As played... I call pre flop, I want to see the flop with suited ace. The flop - is good for us, easy call. The turn - for me it is also call, because we don't risk our tournament life and we are in cash? So here I usually make a call. Besides I think that opponent misses that the board. In this situation I don't believe that he has a Q.

 

[OMGITSOVER9K]

4b shove pre or fold.

as played raise flop. as played call turn.

well you got one street right

It's quite amazing how in the micro's the wrong play seems to be the right play.

 

[mapt02h]

My play in this hand is to call support due to the 2 Queens of clubs!

Check-raise flop, fold on turn

 

[RamdeeBen]

Good spot.

This hand just isn't converting right for some reason. Just edited the hand, again. I think it's right now!

 

[MasterOfDisaster]

Obvious in these kind of hands where people put up every street + result , you can pick out the result oriented comments easily without no tought.

Wonder if you all have the same kind of crystal ball during poker

 

[Poker Orifice]

My crystal ball says > I doubt we have much FE pre (if any) vs. a 25bb stack's 3bet.

You shouldn't tell those beginners you have a crystal ball

Jam flop.

"It depends" ... it depends on which jeans I am wearing (my Levis tend to make it hang to the left which in turn can cause a slight body tilt/lean... or back ache)
