MP folds, hero?
With a healthy but not great stack this is normally going to be a simple min raise followed by a fold to a 3bet. If we get flatted we are going to Cbet the flop if we miss and then fold to any pressure after that. The reason I post this hand is due to the villians I have behind me are not at all standard players.
Button stats over a small sample size are VPIP 33 pfr 30 AIPF% 10. These stats are only calculated with less than 20 BB's. This discounts stats from early on in DON's when everyone is playing tight. 10% AIPF is maniac territory albeit the sample size is small. The button has been trading insults with me in the chat box all night. His fold to cbet stats are unreliable due to small sample size.
SB is a weak reg. His stats don't encourage me to take any non standard line here.
BB is VPIP 30 PFR 15 AIPF% 10. Again these stats are all from late portions of DON's and a fairly limited sample size. These stats tell me he likes to call pre, a lot. His PFR isnt bad but he is constantly coming into pots as the caller. I'm doubt a min raise gets him to go away. His fold to cbet stats are unreliable due to small sample size. His 10% AIPF is maniac territory.
With two likely maniacs behind me (one of whom is in an ego ((ego was not the word I was going originally use here)) measuring contest) I'm not liking my chances here if I play small ball with my AK. I think its likely to get steamrolled by garbage hands. Over 2000 chips vs 5 players two of which I'm certain I have a significant skill advantage over gives me a TE of about 70% here if I lay down the AK. Open shoving is going to be a tough pill to swallow if one of these maniacs calls me down with a low to mid PP which I'm certain both of them would do if they have it. In that case i'd be trading my 70% TE for 45% PE.
What would you have done?
I'll post the results tomorrow.
