What range are you assigning BB? If you are folding, what is the minimum hand you call with? AK? JJ?

Hero requests TIME, 1 fold
I evaluated this hand as either a steal (CO) vs. my re-steal vs. BB getting crafty and re-re-stealing, OR BB waking up with an actual hand which he likes *A LOT*. Since BB is not off-the-charts aggro with 3bets, and he's not off-the-charts aggro PF in the first palce (13/12), I have to give him credit for a hand with his 4bet. Moreover, at this point, I have $5 invested in this hand.
Do I really want to go all the way (which is what BB's 4bet indicates) with a vulnerable pair of tens, where, *at best*, I'm likely flipping a coin and not going to get value post-flop if an all undercard comes, or I'll be suckered in for a bet being behind the whole way? Nah. Nest hand, please.
Final Pot: $11.50
BB wins $11.50

fun to get all "level-y" here (HE thinks that I'M stealing wide, so HE'S restealing wide, etc), but I think this is a hand. This guy is pretty tight overall, and his 3 bet percentage appears to be premiums only. This is a FOUR bet. Bleah.
ReplyDeleteI probably go with QQ+ only.
I also would have folded. It seems at best you would be flipping. Like you say, with a minimum amount invested, I think you can wait.
ReplyDeleteI like the fold, but I also flat TT here most of the time. You can get so much more value here in a single raised pot.
ReplyDelete@stranglylucid: The problem with flatting TT for $14 is that you're committing 30% of your effective stack to see a flop which you most likely will check fold (50/50 chance an overcard comes on the flop), or will have no idea whether you're ahead or behind overall. Moreover, being in the SB, you're in a terrible position to see that flop as the first to act for later streets.
ReplyDeleteI meant that I flat instead of 3 bet.
ReplyDelete@stranglylucid: I understand what you're saying as far as instead of being the 3bettor, I should flat, but then BB is getting mostly the right odds to call a lot of hands at a 33% discount (he already has a BB in there). Moreover, I am giving the CO a "free" look at the flop, while I'm sure my TT is far ahead of his range... at best we're 70/30 and at worst we're 50/50. The problem with this whole hand is BB showing up with something and 4betting me.
ReplyDeleteI try to mix in flatting from the blinds and 3betting, to try to discourage the BTN/CO positions from stealing. I tend to want them to fear me when they're thinking about making moves on my blinds. You've no doubt seen some of my squeezes; I think posting a decent 3bet % is critical to getting paid off on your QQ+ hands (i.e. if you're only 3betting QQ+, then it's pretty clear to your opponent that when you 3bet, you have a very specific range).
