Thoughts? Facing 4bet shove

edited February 2013 in The Poker Clinic


I know initial 3 bet can be very light (anything) so instant thinking was 4bet call. The 4bet shove can also be light (aj 7s etc) given the players 3bet range. But at the same time would he 4bet shove with me still to act as utg opener?? Thoughts - call/fold/raise? I would never call but open to suggestions.

    We are ahead of the original 3 better because of his sizing i think he makes it slightly more than a min click back if he was looking to induce a shove so imo his sizing looks like he is 3 betting you in position with a hand like aq to try and get you to call with worse oop and big blinds shove is strong but is playing 12 bigs and will have seen the min click back from the 3better as not a premium pair.  So therefore i think we are ahead of original 3 bettor because of his sizing and the big blinds range in this spot could be 88,99,10,qq,ak,aq,aa,kk.  So yep considering this i think we have enough equity to go with it.

    if hes shoving a 3 bet hes more than likely got something premium, you cant even rule out AA/KK because of his stack he would still shove with thse hands in this situation, i prob would lay it down since sami is also calling it

    I have absolutely no problem with you leaving my name in or even showing the cards. I was more concerned with your holding than I was with Sams as in position he can 3 bet very light. I also knew (hoped) it would be very hard for you to call with anything less than QQ,KK,AA,AK with someone to act behind. Well played last night though.

    rofl yes ofc mewillows is going to cold 4 bet jam with air when he has no fold equity.

    mewillows has to shoving a range of 99+, AQ+ for OP to have 50% vs him, even at a range 77+, AQ+, KQ he only has 55%.

    I think it's a fold.

    This is why I thought my fold could potentially be bad. Thought it was very marginal. 10s I fold Qs I snap lol. Js I grab a bowl and chunder. It was a very interesting game from last 30 onwards. I was watching all of the tables and found it really insteresting how the better players (ie you sam phil) are able to open 288892% of hands and yoyo a stack about but rarely be risking an all in for your tournament life without being favourite. I thought I was aggressive until last night lol. Wp though, despite 3 outing me!! lol

    Was more like 288891% to be honest as I started to nit it up for a bit. ;-) Got lucky a few times last night, unfortunately you were on the end of one if them. But be happy to know I put your chips to good use. :-) nice battling with you sir.

    sam1986 has to call 8bb to win like 19bb if ryan folds it would be a big mistake for mewillows to be shoving like 55, QT, KT imo.

    Looking back on it I think I agree with N colley. Although I don't think re shoving with Js is bad. For 2 reasons I think. 1) his range is what you say it is I think 9s+ aq+. And with Sams 20k in middle knowing that he's folding the majority of his range I should be happy to flip with mewillows as he has an edge on me and its for his tournament life and I'd still be playing 15+ bbs even if I lose. Without being results orientated he had ak sam had 8 hi and I would of flopped a set lol and then gone on to beat Sam heads up ;)

    Yep thats what i thought when he min clicks back like this hes never going to have a premium hand.  If a random min clicks it back like this it could be kk,aa but when a reg min clicks it back like this im snap 4 betting them with my entire range if mewillows had of folded.

    Knowing the players involved I would imagins some level of metagme here too.

    mewillows knows sam can 3bet pretty light here which imo would make Jamies shoving range much wider than than just premiums.  I think I suck it up and move all-in

    Not seen the outcome, but I like a fold here

    I don't think Sam is always that weak here, i disagree with bearly. (regardless of the result I just read)  And Mewillows range is v strong..

    Would have liked to have been playing with u guys but i only got 20th due to a suckout!
