ps..if he had raised to maybe 20p I would have called to see the flop but otherwise i think it could just be a race even if he only had JQ and no PP you would have been worried about him hitting even 1 card.
Am i the only one who insta calls?
At those lower levels, 1010 has to have a good chance of being ahead, and if it isn't it has only cost you a fiver to find out and make appropriate notes regarding a stupid all in play by player y.
For me AA and KK only, when 127 big blinds deep and I had nothing really invested, unless I know he can ship it in light. Lets say he can have any pocket pair, any ace suited or unsuited down to A7 and KQ, you have a 62% equity. However removing just 7's though 2's and anything below A10 and you are now down to 51%
People get excited at these levels when they have AA KK,etc and just shove.
Another reason for the call is the consideration that player y is fed up with player X consistantly min raising in position and has chosen to take a stand, forgetting about the players behind.... Just a thought...
Reasons being, you have been on the table for a while and they havent done this before. Do you think he is trying to steal 3bb with the all in with nothing. I think at the best your racing.
Some have made the point that there are a lot of crazy players at this level but there are some half decent players too. ;-)
I respect players at this level until they give me a reason otherwise. It doesn't usually take very long to work out the good and bad.
Back yourself to find a better position.
I understand the comments about the level. Yes, at this level players sometimes push any two. You only call with 10-10, however, when you've got that information locked up. FWIW, I calll here with QQ+.
With regards to it only been £4 or £5 I fully agree with your own approach dudeskin. I dont see it as £4 or £5 quid at all its 1 buy in. I am not gambling with this just to get information you could easily enough get just by observing for longer first.
As your grinding well, I think you understand that its important to get into good habits and calling 10-10 here just isn't IMO so I like your fold.
dont see how the thread has gone on for so long its a super easy snap fold. besides the fact that putting 120bbs in the pot when you need just under 49% equity to breakeven on it is pretty bad and full of variance as you will prob be flipping or crushed most of the time, there is also another player in the hand who minraised UTG.
As for assigning him a range I'm not going to bother with a player who makes this move out of the blue. If forced on the issue, I would say one of the top 169 starting hands :-)
