    Default play for stacks PF?

    big stack is pretty solid TAgg. i feel like he's trying to iso here, but i also feel like its probably a race

    do i want to play her with TT? what does UTG raise change in my decision?

    UTG raise does change your decision. Reads on that person? UTG raises are dangerous and have to be considered in the equation. Who knows what that person has ...

    You have a good stack, I fold this.

    No need to gamble, Fold here, and u can put pressure on the shorties in future hands, whenever the big stack folds.

    definitely iso, everyone else should be in push/fold mode. Taking a race here is -eV via ICM. If it's a solid TAgg I fold.

    I would also fold JJ.

    If UTG hadn't raised, super easy fold, less dead (?) money in the pot

    UTG's raise makes it an easier fold.

    Fold, you dont want to get into an AI battle with the bigstack, considering stack sizes

    Now i wouldnt be overly afraid of UTG since its low stakes. but i do need reads to play this. if ive seen him raise weak Aces i raise since his range is much wider than norm for UTG. i think your push is awful and smells of fear.

    Raise to 1000 here. Fold if other big stack pushes plus you nearly have all other stacks commited if they call.


    WHy you go allin? it wont scare off monsters.

    WHy not call guys??? folding TT 5 handed sucks plus we got position so far.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    easy easy fold here. i might even fold queens here because your stack is just too sizable to risk it on that massive of a push.
