Here is an interesting hand that I would like you guys to help me with. On 888Poker it seems that there are fewer CC players in this tournament then on Stars.

BU stats after 24 hands: VPIP 42 PFR 25 Limp 17 Post Flop AGG 2
BB only 6 hands played: VPIP 50 PFR 33 Limp 25

What do you think is the correct play by me here: call, 4-bet, or shoving?

888Poker, Hold'em No Limit - 75/150 (15 ante) - 9 players


UTG: 3,007 (20 bb)
UTG+1: 2,511 (17 bb)
MP: 2,883 (19 bb)
MP+1 (Hero): 6,934 (46 bb)
LP: 2,051 (14 bb)
CO: 1,412 (9 bb)
BU: 4,250 (28 bb)
SB: 4,740 (32 bb)
BB: 9,892 (66 bb)

Pre-Flop: (360) Hero is MP+1 with K♦ K♥
3 players fold, Hero raises to 300, 2 players fold, BTN 3-bets to 900, 1 fold, BB calls 750, Hero ?

The pot is now 1/3 of your stack, so I think the correct move is to 4-bet jam here.

Even if both fold, you'll add a nice amount of chips to your stack.

If they call and wake up with the rockets or any Ax and there's an Ace on the board, then onto the next freeroll. 🙂

Easy 4-bet jam. You dont even mind, if someone lay down AX, when the pot is this large already. Your initial open could also have been a bit larger, given that you are 28+ BB deep with 3 opponents.

Yep a shove when there are 2 players more, and they are pretty lose.

The way I look at these spots is if we were going to 4 bet to an amount other than jamming what would it be? We wouldnt min 4 bet so it would have to be something like 2000 in total at the very smallest (which I would never do especially with BB calling as well but just saying as an example) which would be almost half our stack. If villains are paying attention at all I would think they would at least ponder what the hell we are doing with this bet. Where as if you jam, your hand looks at least a little weaker than if you were to 4 bet small. So since any 4 bet other than a jam would be a significant part of our stack then we should just get it in here. Obviously deeper we are then 4 betting to a decent amount comes into play but not on 28 BBs.

AA here instead of KK could be a good discussion even with 2 opponents in the hand. I think there are times here I would just call this with AA depending on the villains I am going against and what I know about their playing style and folding habits. Although, it seems like most of times I try that I get burned but wondering what others, on top of what Mariussuca88 is asking, would do with AA here and if they would just call at least in certain situations.

Jam and see the AA, and maybe another pocket pair that spikes a set.
