MTT, extremely standard fold, right?

Was discussing this hand with a m8, n he insists I should be calling here.

His reasons were...

a) "because of stack sizes"

b) "because they will be holding eachothers cards"

I personally think this is the easiest fold I had to make all tourny, but said I would post it & if 1 good mtt player says call, I'd give him a tenner.

It's a £2 MTT, 10 off the money.

The shoving ranges in these tournys r ridic narrow, & the calling/reshoving ranges obv even more so. It's part of a last longer competition.....

We're 10 off the money.

No reads on the shover, but Madmoo is probably the most solid player in the tournament.

It's standard for players in this to fold right down to 3/4/5/6xbb, esp on & around the bubble.

Thoughts?

    Maths wise it may be a call
    stove see how much equity you have v 2 prs of overs
    there is a thereom somewhere, can't remeber what it's called though

    I have none, I copied it from the lad next to me )

    pay this much to call and win x, what do we need here 45% equity at a guess :S
    But were flying by the seat of our pants lol very likely at least one has over pair

    but I do call )

    I'll have to get back to you because there is a therom that if you know your behind you can still call given circumstance but I don't think this is one of them

    for what reason do you call?

    cause math says 9k to win 24.5k = 2.5-1

    MadMoo's shoving range is never worse than 55 let alone their re-shoving range its always going to be 88+ AJ/AQ+
    (basically going to be flipping maybe 3/10 times, every other time going to be drawing to 2 outs)

    knowing MadMoo's ranges this is a snap fold everytime calling here in a spot we are crushed in 90% of the time is just pure spew

    Twas me :) 

    Stacksize i call, Iinital shover has any 2 and just finding a spot. I agree Moo will have a more solid range but mentioned that Rusty could have some of her outs. Her range is AK/AQ/AJ/A10/ possibly A8 & A9 suited, all pp would be like 88+ . but she has 11 bigs so i would have called, if she has like 15+ then its a fold also and added sidepot the fact she is all in.

    hey wat do i know ;)

    agree with you here dohhh - not much future calling off with small pockets in multiway all ins, at this stage of tourney, odds or not

    Given stacks I do always call here.  We only need to beat one player to break even>, with 1bb invested, flipping for a loss of 5 or break even vs one player, with potentionl of scooping whole pot.

    Both players sharing range would be a factor I agree.

    If reads tell us one player is shoving with pp we can fold, especially if its the larger stack.  But if we think all the paint range (which it ought to be) is there then I personally would call.

    We are going to be taking tonnes of flips from this point forward in any case.  You know the importance of chip accumilation moving forward.

    Given stacks, I likely call.

    Flip it around and do people call here with AK :()

    Fold please. Ridiculous to give either player more chips in this spot.

    A case can be made for the call, because of the nature of the tourny.

    Payouts are pretty valueless outside of the final table, so unless you were on for winning the DTD thing, you have to be going for the tourny win.

    Rustys shoving range is quite wide here, down to KQ/KJ, which widens Madmoo a bit too.

    If they held AK and AQ, you would still have the 45% you would hope for, 4 overcards only take you down to 33%.

    Its the overpair that does the damage taking you right down to 20%.

    Upside is winning it to have 54k, downside is you are left with 28k.

    I may call, but would close my eyes !

    Tell your mate he owes me a fiver.

    lol interesting, i owe u nothing pingu! ;) 

    Coxy would you never call in this spot? if you lose you still have plenty surely thats a big factor and the fact the bigger stack only has like 11bb, i also am taking into the account moo would widen her range as shortstack has shoved

    Shover is in the middle.

    I think he shoves alot tighter than that, but moobs convinced me to widen it abit.

    Rusty, thanx for posting, what kinda hands would you say you are shoving in that position normally? Is it about right?

    ^^^ Ha r u joking? It's TT+ AQ+ till you're down to 4xbb's, then they widen to 88+ A9+ unless it's the bubble, then it goes the other way n they tighten to JJ+ & AK,

    The final table last night was hillarious. I got so owned lol. 

    I folded A8 & A6 on bb to 4 handed utg opens(7/8x stak) when closing the action.

    Sigh called off with ATo & A3s on bb to utg shoves 4 handed from 6x & 4x stacks, to run into QQ & JJ.

    Wasn't "unlucky" or "running into the top of their range" either. 

    Who'd have thought calling a 6x shove with ATo HU wud be a mistake :( sigh. it was .....


    Absolute lolathon :P
