I'd probably just call and keep the pot small for now. You're not likely to isolate either one without a big raise and it won't be fun playing OOP with a juiced up pot if some over cards hit (which...

Shove. If you just call and BB calls it gives him the chance to push you out of the pot if you miss the flop. Even if BB is calling 100% when you shove preflop it's still positive equity.

Don't know how meaningful post-flop stats are with such a small sample size but here are some of them:

Folded to flop bet: 71 (5 out of 7)
Aggression factor: 1.6
Flop raise: 0



That's...

Thanks for the reply Nakamura. I see what you mean about having to know your opponent more is this situation. I guess this play is more read dependent than a normal c-bet on a safe flop which is...

I started thinking about this after reading Manic's thread where he c-bet a 3-flush flop after completely missing it. You can see it here:

It's above average but still mediocre. If your raising you'd like him to fold straight away as you're OOP with an average hand but with his stats that doesn't look likely so you're just building a...

First of all i'm definitely not raising preflop OOP with a mediocre hand against the other big stack.

As played, i think small to medium PP's and high connected cards are most of his limp calling...

This is ture. I think this is about as weak as his range gets.

Are the odds really that great for set mining? You'll need implied odds of at least 8:1 to be profitable, therefore you want to be winning at least 90*8=720 from your opponent when you hit. There's...

Is it too nitty to fold preflop? I'm pretty sure i fold here most of the time.

As played seems good, bet when you have most of his range beat, check when it's marginal and you have little fold...

Do you think these hands are likely given the action so far? Call of 5x OOP pre and check raise flop. Originally i didn't really consider the range you've given here, it seems too loose for an...

Seems a little risky making this move on the flop as there are still three other players in the hand and your bet will look fairly weak. If your 100% sure you're not getting raised then it's a...

What hands are you thinking of here? I can't see a suitable range that we're ahead of.

That's exactly what i thought initially as well. It just feels weak to fold here but i also agree that there isn't much we're ahead of. Villain is never check/bluff raising here and he's calling if...

Given that villain doesn't know anything about poker i'd bet the turn for value. His range is still pretty wide even after the call on the flop. I think he is more likely to raise the flop if he has...

I just set this up in PokerStove and you have approximately 35% equity here if you assume you're up against TPTK or better.

This is directed more so to the higher stakes guys who have worked their way up the stakes. At the moment i'm playing in $5 SNG's on FTP and i'm taking on average about 3 to 4 notes on my opponents...

That's a tricky one. It seems like a call to me. Like Fielmann said your M is low and you have the chance to more than double up. It would be interesting to see what SNGWiz suggests. It's next on my...

Is it too early at this stage in the tourny to do an ICM calculation? I've never done one before so i'm gonna do this one now. Please correct me if i've made a mistake.

It seems to me that it's almost impossible for you to have him beat here. From my experience he will never have worse than 2 pair, but normally a set. Unless you know that he is a big losing player...

Hey, just wanted to get some opinions on this situation here. UTG is a winning player who had been bullying the table with his big stack, blind stealing a lot. I figured i'm way ahead of his range so...

What about calling with the intention to increase your chances of placing first? I hate coming third, sometimes coming third will tilt me more than busting out in 9th.

Is this a case where you...

Because you can't know for sure if he is bluffing on the flop, calling gives you a chance to find out. However if he is betting the turn 100% after we check to him then calling on the flop is...
