$5.5 NLHE MTT: Q7 shove over limper

[Dubstep]

I don't usually do plays like this with Q7 but maybe I should start because I look down at his vp and it was massive so I kinda thought he is going to call off with a lot worse like 45s or whatever. But maybe Q7 is simply to shit to do this play with?:cheers:

In this case I think its perfectly fine to shove the Q7o vs this player with your stacksize.

I like the table situation but I don't like my cards.

I think I will pass and hope to get better hand next deal.

He doesnt have tons of time left! And is just looking for a +EV spot to get his stack in.

This player seems to raise way to many hands(top 30%) and limps even a worse part of his range (Top 31%-44%) this of course is never precisely accurate , but can give an indication about which hands he is raising or calling, also doesn't seems to have any knowledge about stacksizes.

Samplesize is small , but I think after seeing his stats and this play,this is a huge fish.

Q7o looks weak of course, but prolly favourite vs his limping range.
Not a huge favourite but think it is +EV and with a bit foldequity and seemingly willing to even make a call with that part of his range, so you even get worse hands to call by this fish.

This can never be a terrible play and I like the play

doesn't realy matter what you do here.

However consider making an alternate to just shoving preflop (as we have little to no fold equity)

min-raise/jam flops.

check/shove flops.

either of these will gain you a little more FE as fish love to see flops but usually give up if they miss..

It's fine.

What are his options:

A) fold....running out of time....there is already a limp which signifies a weak hand and sweetens the pot

B) call/limp with the intention of jamming a lot of flops. not a terrible play, but you're just begging the BB to raise you out of the pot, and it will be harder to win this pot 3 way. You'll pretty much need to connect with the board in some way to win the pot 3 ways.

C) jam over the top to isolate the limper and get your stack in with usually 45-55% equity and creating dead money between the antes and BB who will have to fold a lot of hands here. You might even have a teeny tiny bit of fold equity which makes this option even more profitable.

You're running out of options, and I like option C. Well played.
