Maximum call?

cottlad · January 2010

50p/£1 6max cash
Complete unknown sits with xxbb's to your immediate left. Only played a couple of hands when.....
You raise to £4 from MP with TT, Unknown jams for £xx. It's folded round to you?

What's the maximum you would call?

Sitting with 100bb's probably 10-15, but with no information it is tricky.

it's unimportant how much we have.
We cover his stack.
Obv we are calling 10..... its only 6 more... but what's our max?

Dudeskin8 · January 2010

It depends what his range is, and ofcourse we don't know that. Me being fairly tight I wouldn't wanna get too much in when we could easily be 50-50 against AJ+, and he might hate playing Jacks, wanting to get you off your hand. I don't think I could call of 20% of my stack or more.

If I have a yellow note by his name prob nearer 50 but around 25-35 I would snap it off.

prob not folding at all. If you are beat just take a note and win it back

I'm surprised nobody has posted 100bb's yet.
I'm quite sure that we have positive expectation with TT when a player shoves 100. Although it may be fairly small. It all boils down to mindset i suppose. Do you mind taking knocks along the way if you are likely to lose often when only say 54% favourite.... or do you prefer to wait for better spots and play a lower variance game.
I snap called 31bb shove.... then wondered if i'd done right when he flipped QQ..... after a minutes thought i realized the call was absolutely fine and we are probably 60% given opponents range.

i ilke the high variance plays! i call all day long, not often u find someone shove 100bb with a high pp, prob only jj or lower and ak so id take the race!

U cant always look for the perfect spots 80% jobbies, you would never see a profit! and ud only go a get outdrawn anyway!
