Correct Lay Down?

edited May 2013 in The Poker Clinic
Was snapping if the 2nd player folded.

Was the £5.50 Mini Bounty Hunter, guess thats why he called.

Did i make the correct lay down?

    Stacks?

    If you have roughly 8600 starting here I just open jam.

    As played think the laydown is prob ok even with those pot odds

    Yeah, it's a shove pre-flop with those stacks.

    To answer this question, ask yourself if you'd ever consider raise-folding TT to a 3-bet from the button with 14BB.

    I think you've got it in your mind here and I wont lie I do it sometimes that if two of them have called one of them must have an A? Sometimes they will... I think you should of raised pre to 2200! 5's would of probably gone all in and 24 folds

    Hello,

    Thanks for the replies.

    I am happy to shove into the SB and BB with my hadn, its just Gailforce that is putting me off shoveing as he/she has me covered, meaning if I shove and get called by him/her I could be in serious trouble...

    If you only got 12xBB ish (or less) as GT said then shoving here is perfect.

    Yes you will very occasionally be up against JJ+ and bust out V that guy who has you covered, but this is gonna be rare.

    Most of the time, he/they will fold and you just add 10% to your stack completely risk free. Or you'll be flipping, OR you'll be the one crushing because (especially in a cheap BH) people will call an all-in definitely with 66 through to 99, and plenty of people will call with even small PPs. Alot of people will also call with all sorts like AT, KT, QT, K9, etc, all hands that we want to call us.

    If you don't even wanna get it in with TT and 12xBB, then when you do shove, you're gonna have such a ridiculously narrow range that it'll become easy for half decent players to never give you any action when you shove.

    Lambert, the way you put it I have to agree lol. Think that everyone was quite short at the time so tables were very tight and i knew hed only be calling with a race or have me beat. but i suppose u gotta race!
