QQ, minraise and 3-bet in front ($38)

Results 1 to 6 of 6

    Default QQ, minraise and 3-bet in front ($38)

    SB's stats were something like 20/15 at this point but only over a small sample size.

    1. What's your preflop move, shove over or flat call?
    2. What's your flop move, shove or bet less? It's only a bit more than a PSB behind.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button (t1490)

    Hero (t1530)
    UTG (t1460)
    UTG+1 (t1560)
    MP1 (t1470)
    MP2 (t1550)
    MP3 (t1470)
    CO (t1490)

    3 folds, MP2 raises to t60, 2 folds, Button calls t60, SB raises to t270, Hero calls t240, MP2 calls t210, Button calls t210.

    1. Shove over to attempt to isolate.

    2. Shove due to stack size. If you bet 800, are you going to fold to a reraise? Probably not, due to odds. Might as well get it all in now and make them decide.

    I'd shove pre-flop.. as played I wouldn't shove because by shoving you eliminate the slim chance of someone calling or going over the top of you with a worst hand.. I would bet 600-700 and call the shove or put the rest on any turn..

    God, what a silly hand.

    Umm...I probably shove pre, because we have no reason to believe MP2 and Button will also call giving us a PSB push on the flop. Shove and get it HU with lots of dead chips.

    Flop probably doesnt matter much. Anyone who calls/raises you if you lead like 500 will probably call your push anyway.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Yeah I agree - I should have just shoved it preflop. Can't quite remember why I didn't to be honest. I suppose I was spooked by SB's raise over the donkminraiser and cold caller.

    If we're fairly certain we'll see the flop HU I guess flatting and getting it in on any non A or K flop isnt terrible, but theres lots of chips there, we dont hate just taking it down PF and should be in decent shape if called.
