mini FTR table

I am playing with badgers and setzy on a couple of tables when an interesting spot comes up.

Badgers has been playing pretty laggy for FR standards, Setzy is playing his usual game (so it seems, not really a lot of hands on either).

I expect badgers to have more of a hand than normal here, and don't think setzy is getting too out of line in this spot.

What sort of hand are you continuing with here, why, and how?

No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (7 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG ($197.40)
MP1 ($106.10)
MP2 ($244.85)
CO ($200)
Button ($208.45)
Hero (SB) ($271.50)
BB ($120)

Preflop: Hero is SB with XX
3 folds, Badgers raises $6, Setzy raises $22, I... do what with which hands here?

Re-steal with AJ+, 99+... make it about 2.5 - 3X
fold everything else

wat? are you calling a shove with 99? assuming not, KJo is like twice as good of a hand to 4bet with. Just make it 49$ with a polarized range of QQ+/AK (and call shove), random bluffs with blockers, and fold everything else.

Agreed, but I might add JJ to get it in range

Vs a couple of standard tags this is closer to the range that I would be including. Vs folds to a FTR from the CO and a FTR from the button however, I'm widening this range and calling shoves with worse than only four hands.

I agree with nuts it's better to polarize here because both mine and setzy's stack off ranges are going to be fairly nitty because your 4bet is scary. I think bluffing in this spot would be great because setzy is going to be 3betting me a lot here.

seems like a good place to play a mixture of extremely good hands and air - i believe this is called polarisation?

Yeah but ever hear the english try to speak their own language? How'd they manage to fuck it up so bad? ;)

I will say that Badgers and I have been doing some pretty big preflop battling. Badgers is a damn thief and I can't let him get away with it :)

who, me?

;)

Good to know.

I felt kinda dirty folding 99 there.
