$1.00 + $0.25 9 Player hand

Results 1 to 10 of 10
  1. #1

    Default $1.00 + $0.25 9 Player hand

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 1+0.25 Tournament, 50/100 Blinds (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG (t2753)
    MP (t4324)
    Hero (Button) (t1125)
    SB (t1634)
    BB (t3664)

    Hero's M: 7.50

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, 9
    UTG raises to t2753 (All-In), 1 fold, Hero calls t1125 (All-In), 2 folds

    With my current stack against the blinds, I'm guessing this is the right call, but I just want to make sure. Villain had been pushing almost every hand for an orbit or so and this was the only hand I saw all game (literally the only hand worth playing) and I had to make a move soon.

    If villain is very loose then call. If this shove is not standard for villain I would fold.

    As above.

    I'm happy to push with 99 but to call depends on villains antics. He's bound to have at least one over. Even junk like K 10 makes it a flip.

    Normally an UTG raise like this usually indicates a hand that an opponent is uncomfortable playing on the flop. For example, medium pocket pairs or hands like AK/AQ and an opponent doesn't know what to do when an A or K does not flop.

    In this case with your information the opp is probably pushing light and you are well above his range. I call and face the music.

    Without being involved in the game at all, thus no exact reads, I believe it's just a ploy to take the pot down. It could be ATC but more than likely something he believes has some showdown value if called: 44+, JK+, A10+

    This breaks down as 53% in your favour to win.

    Shoving for a whole orbit? If he were the bigstack at the table that would at least be SOMEWHAT understandable. I say he's trying to give his chips away and you need to step up and hold out your hand.

    Instashove. The only PP I would fold here is 55> but then again I like to gamble

    Every time someone lays down 99 here, a puppy gets hit by a car.
