1st - $2150
2nd - $1440
3rd - $864

Poker Stars No Limit Holdem Donkament
Blinds: t500/t1000
3 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Button: t19092
SB: t56214
Hero: t32694

Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is BB with A

8

1 fold, SB calls t500 (pot was t1800), Hero raises to t4000, SB calls 3000(pot was t5300).

Flop: Q

Q

6

(t8300, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t5000, SB raises to t12000, Hero raises all-in t28594

This guy is really terrible. Coming into the final table he had a huge chip lead and I was in last with 5000 chips. I won a race early on, but other than that I've gotten all my chips without showdown by stealing blinds and making c-bets. A lot of them have come from this guy and I'm pretty sure he's getting sick of it.

He's limped my BB a few times, and when I raised he insta-called every single time. However, he has made some really stupid folds to all-ins (if he was serious about what he said he had, in the chat). I had the feeling he was the type of guy who would call and trap me with trips, but sometimes my reads suck though.

If he calls, um, I have backdoor hearts?

If you had a queen would you really do this?

**drmcboy** · 08-13-2007 06:07 PM

That's a poor question. What matters is whether he can call without a queen and especially if he will fold a flush draw along with lower PPs.

You have tons of outs if he calls with 22-55!

Honestly I don't think anyone but Mcat can really say this is good or bad.

Wow, gutsy play man. I wouldnt do this tho, i would fold to the reraise because if you can manage to get HU with a semi-decent chip stack, you can definitly take him. I would say your move looks like a 77-AA, so i would think he would fold everything except a Q.

I completely agree against 95% of $109 opponents, but not this one IMO.

Gutsy play. I think a good play, in that for this player (as weak as you described him) it forces out everything but a queen or 66, and maybe even a queen with a bad kicker. And that's a lot of his range. If he calls with qj or Qten then I guess you got unlucky.... Otherwise it could even come down to your 8 kicker... You weren't tempted to check behind?

From what you say about this player it sounds like he really doesn't want to risk coming third...
