Correct call with A10?

Results 1 to 6 of 6
  1. #1

    Default Correct call with A10?

    The button raises preflop and has been fairly active. I suspect a loose range. Since the blinds are so large I can't see how I can get away from this one. Am I right?

    Sorry the Hand converter can't recognise hands from Tower Gaming, so I had to enter this one myself.

    Blind 300/600

    Seat 0: axel94 (3,025 in chips)
    Seat 1: Hemassy (4,480 in chips) (on the button)
    Seat 3: mottah2 SB (3,870 in chips)
    Seat 6: Hero BB(3,625 in chips)

    Hero: AH10C

    Hemassy: Raises (4,480) (All In)
    mottah2 : Fold
    Hero : Calls (3,025) (All In)

    *** Flop *** : 9h 2d 7s
    *** Turn *** : [ 9h 2d 7s ] Jc
    *** River *** : [ 9h 2d 7s Jc ] 10s

    Hemassy: shows 6DJD (two pair)

    seems like a standard call to me, knowing button has been active

    This is one of those spots that's very marginal according to ICM, but in the real world it's a call because if you fold then he can keep running over everyone for the next couple of orbits but if you win then you can shove the next couple of hands as well.

    In such a shallow stack stage it is a good call, dont second guess yourself based on results, I doubt you would post this hand if you would have won the pot

    Probably not, but it got me thinking. I have in the past tried to sit back in similar situations and wait for the bubble (which turned out to be me!)

    Opp has to be pushing at least 45% of hands to make this a good call. With your read, I would say that he most probably is pushing at least this wide.

    BTW, don't post results, they are not relevant. I would have cut off your post as below:

    mottah2 : Fold
    Hero : ?????
