I raised to 7200 to set penguin all in but also leave myself 10 bb if small or bb rr shoved.
Should i of pushed pre? called the allin by tikay?
I had to put tikay on AK, AA, KK, QQ pos JJ im sure he is folding 10,10 and AQ
In my experience of playing tikay he only has these two hands here.
Correct fold against me there, freechips.
I'm happy to let "the boyz" continue to think I'm Mr Nitty-Nit-Nit, but the way that hand played out, I could ONLY re-shove with AA or KK because you were pot-stuck, & most players in your spot would feel obliged (wrongly imo) to call. And I had already sussed that.
If peeps wanna think I'm always nitty, fine by me, but I am VERY careful when I 3-bet, as it can ONLY be done against a good player, & one who is playing deeper than you were.
To my mind, an easy fold, but not one which many can make. Only a winning player can make the fold.
Nice one.
I only played AA & KK in Cardiff this week, too.
[QUOTE]tikay i also see it as a standard fold. its got to me alot lately as im strugling to move from 100nl to 200nl and the fact that a 200nl+ reg who is good and i do respect said i should of called has confused me.

It's the fashion to say "you can't fold there", but be brave, & have the courage of your convictions. Play is generally much looser these days, especially as so many players are staked or backed, & the adage that you must protect your Tourney life has been forgotten by the subscribers to something little known, called "GroupThink". Everyone thinks it, so you need to have courage to think your own thoughts when your peers all say you are wrong.
Be brave, & swim against the tide if you think you are right. Then you will be that rarest breed - someone who can survive in poker. Very few do, or can.
PS - You have EVERY chance of walking into A-K there, too, & being crushed. Standard fold.
They have things called "Hero Calls" these days. Lol at that. Try "hero folds".
My bankroll survives healthily year after year because players think they have to calll there. Well sometimes they do - but it's not a default, not by ANY means, it's situation dependent.
Forget the Maths, think of the situation. There will usually be a better spot.
I see you as a loose player in Omaha, & you are, because you play Omaha "for fun", & a break from shove & hope Hold Em.
In Hold Em, I dont see you as loose at all. Aggro yes, loose, no.
You need less than 25% equity and you've got that, its not as much as a snap call as in a cash game because you can't reload but I'd still call regardless.
We have played together many times (mostly omaha) and he has seen me 3 sometimes 4 bet light, so if i did 3 bet small he would prob shove with A,J or 10,10, i think then i have to fold the best hand.
