I Know this hand, but as I said at the time. I fold and congratulate the SB on his grasp of DYM strat. There was a very interesting point of veiw put across by another, would be good if he posted here (I wont say a name in case he doesn't want to)
Prob call also we just have to beat one of them to either a- win the game b - still have 2k behind we would be very unlucky to lose to both PS i love it when this player raises 99% of his stack to protect his stats Posted by stuarty117
Assuming small stack calls (more on that in a bit), just fired three hands into a calculator AQ vs QQ vs 10's and queens only 53% fav. On the other hand the other two hands are 19% and 24% favs and if one of them loses we're ok.
But the 80 left back by the shorty prob makes it even more of a fold. Your range has to be super tight there to call and the reg will know that he's looking at QQ-AA. So will prob fold hoping for a miracle assuming he doesnt have aa himself.
Looking at from shorties point of view is interesting too, putting yourself in his shoes what would/should he call with if you call?

connectors and suited gappers would be a pretty good range, the 2 bigger stacks 'should' be very narrow here, so any live cards would be a fairly good gamble.
I think it's a fold. Credit to the button, I don't think that tactic works as much as people give it credit for but in cases like this it's a beaut. What helps us is I make it the other guy in the hand will be on around 2k as well.
And yes, the button will fold to a call off from us a bunch here.
Classic DYM bubble puke spot. I think it's a fold. Credit to the button, I don't think that tactic works as much as people give it credit for but in cases like this it's a beaut.

Yeah absolutely
There are a couple of reasons why the button does this and as you say in this scenario it works perfectly.
It's obviously not a great play from the sb and it leaves us in a very difficult spot.
A few things need to be considered before we act.
The regs range are any 2 here.
The sb is by no means suoer strong.
If I do call I expect the button will get out of the way and so rather than having to beat 2 hands we only have to beat the sb
If we do call and win then we're locked.
If we fold and the reg wins then we're now the short stack.
However
We have a chance to fold and the game could well be over
The huge tilt factor of us calling and the reg folding and us losing to some random sb hand is very large.
If we fold and it does go wrong then we're still in decent shape on the bubble.
Horrid spot. It's absolutely borderline. I call aces, although that might still be wrong? and probably Kings in game as well.
