    Default $26, AQo bvb early facing flop raise

    Whats my plan? Its early so no reads

    Full Tilt Poker $42,000 Guarantee No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t10/t20 Blinds - 8 players

    BTN: t2730 M = 91
    Hero (SB): t3300 M = 110
    BB: t3000 M = 100
    UTG: t3000 M = 100
    UTG+1: t2830 M = 94.33
    MP1: t3000 M = 100
    MP2: t3000 M = 100
    CO: t2940 M = 98

    Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is SB with Q A
    6 folds, Hero raises to t80, BB calls t60

    Flop: (t160) A 7 6 (2 players)
    Hero bets t100, BB raises to t460, Hero ...

    That's a pretty big raise, I would think that he's planning to get it all in sooner or later... so I guess if we want to continue the hand we'd better be ready to put it all in.

    I think a shove isn't bad in this spot in case he's just raising with a straight or flush draw. Of course, he could easily have a weaker ace (AK doesn't seem plausible as he flat called preflop). If he has two pair or a set I guess it's too bad.

    Edit: Well, yeah, the blinds are really small and we have a deep stack, so yes I think folding would be an educated play. Shoving this early does seem a bit reckless.

    kinda gross, I guess since it's so draw heavy we could be ahead here (not really ahead of draws like 98dd) but if he's jamming with AJ- in this spot I suppose we'll find other spots.

    in practice I'm not sure I fold but OOP, no reads, 100 BBs behind, I think we can find better spots.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    These spots suck...usually I call this raise and see what they do on turn and/or river.

    call and give up if the board gets worse or he keeps making 3QPS+ bets

    diamonds and tens are pretty bad, but what about 8/9/5? c/f still?
  7. #7
    If he is 8/9 I would probably get it in after flop raise.
  8. #8
    mostly I'd go off timing/soul read/sizing, but gun to my head I would give up most rivers if an 8/9 came and he bet both streets, 5 I am paying off
