Villain just sat down, bought in for 50bbs. We have no history. How often is this not AA/KK? Villain's bet sizing is horrid, but it's almost like he wants a call... but at 50bbs, would you just shove and say FTW?!

That's what I was going to do but getting 5bet without the nuts just makes me want to crawl back into my hole.

This coming from a micros stakes player, but i think this is simple enough for my small mind.

Lets talk about this shove. If we shove we are risking $15 to win $35.25 - rake from total pot ( assuming he gets it in with us) If we shove and he folds we take $26.25 - rake.

First lets assume his range is bluffs and AK, QQ+.
Then our equity when we get it in is:

Hand 0: 59.793% { QQ+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 1: 40.207% { QQ }


In some ridiculous fantasy land where villian is never doing this with anything except above our equity is:

(.4)(35.25) = $14.1 - $15 = a $.90 loss on the play so we have:

(Needed Bluffing %)($26.25) = $.90 hence needed Bluffing % = 3.43%
So yeah why couldnt you have done this and not posted?

4-bet shove since you have to continue to a 5-bet anyways. Folding here is never an option.

That would be shoving $48 into a $6.25 pot. Thats one hell of an overbet.

I think folding could be an option here, although its extremely villain dependent. The pot is $32 or so and we have $38 behind, so if we think villain's range is tight enough (QQ+) and we have no fold equity on a shove, then we should fold.

If your not keen to get it in, call the $6 and reevaluate on the flop.

4 bet fold JJ, AQ or sometimes AK.

Not so much QQ.

We have 38 behind, but villian has 9 behind. What am i missing here????? Calling seems pretty trivial as its getting in almost any flop.

No. If we have to continue to a 5bet its because continuing to a 5bet is +EV. If continuing to a 5bet is -EV then we dont have to continue to a 5bet, in which case 4betting and folding is usually going to be better than shoving anyway.

We are shoving $21 in.

If AK is in his range he has to fold 20% of the time to make a 4-bet shove profitable. Add JJ to his range and its profitable no matter if he calls or folds.

Don't fold QQ against halfstacks, period.

Thanks guys. Getting 3-bet for the minimum when I'm holding QQ just feels like an auto 4bet. Against an unknown half-stack, perhaps a call is correct since we have position? I did feel a fold was correct here because getting 4bet at this level means the goods (for the most part). Fuck I don't know, I suck.

Thats right (sorry, misread villain's stack size). Still a big overbet though.

As played I'd be getting it in, btw.
