    Default Obvious resteal.

    never seen villain before. I'm new to the table, no reads.

    Thoughts?


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    Button ($69.20)
    Hero ($228.75)
    BB ($123.35)
    UTG ($200)
    UTG+1 ($78.10)
    MP1 ($211.75)
    MP2 ($233.80)
    CO ($211.35)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 8, 8.
    6 folds, Hero raises to $8, BB calls $6.

    Flop: ($16) 4, 2, 4 (2 players)
    Hero bets $12, BB raises to $42, Hero raises to $220.75, BB calls $73.35 (All-In).

    Turn: ($352.10) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $352.10

    I think half the time you're up against 55-77, and the other half against 99-JJ. If he calls that is. I'm not sure if I would do this with less than 88 though.

    On a side note, I've played with you a few times Lukie. You haven't responded to any of my messages on stars, but I'm guessing it's due to the fact that you're multi-tabling. I never get any money off you though.

    I think occasionally you will run into 99-JJ in this spot, but rarely enough to make this +EV? maybe... and even then they may lay down 99-JJ on your push. I like it

    Have to agree with the above... he woulda pushed definitely with QQ-AA and 50% of the time with TT/JJ I would think.

    Meh, sometimes you're good here, sometimes you're not. The call at the end is worrysome, but you don't know what he'll do when you 3-bet him for the ranch....

    Standard crying push against an unknown half-buy.

    Sorry just had to say it. :P

    I like the push. I think it is probably +EV. If he had been at the table and known your tight image, it might make a stronger case for folding, but as is pooooooooooossshhhhhhhhh!!!!!

    Let me put in my prediction. He had 22 and you sucked out like a mofo.

    I agree. With TT+ it's an autopush; 66- a fold. 77-99 is grey area.

    I think you'll see a lot of A3/A4/A5 here btw..

    Heh, sorry man. I do this to a lot of people, and it's certainly not on purpose. I keep chat on, but unless I strike up a conversation, I generally just ignore it. Chat box = -EV.

    What's your name on stars anyway?
