4bet/Shove/Fold?

christiann

Okay, this is relatively early on in the 2.20 DS, I don't have any notes on the player apart from he seemed to be playing quite solid taking down most pots pre, the only hand i've seen him 3bet which has gone to showdown was AK - what do you make of his 3bet sizing here and do we ship it, raise or fold?

If he's solid i would fold, plenty of time no need to take a race early doors unless you want to double up early and play properly then its fine to shove. if you want to play properly just fold and wait for a better spot, far to early to shove imo

Talon

 With this holding against this player the best you can really be looking at is a race. With the blinds at this level and you nicely above your starting stack i can see no need to take on a race at this point. There will be times later when a race is the right thing to go for but it is too early in the tourny to take this on.

  It looks as though there may be a misprint on your HH because it clearly shows Dohhhh folding preflop, surely this cant be right.

folding is not an option for me here, if i 4 bet it would be with the intention of never folding pre which i wouldnt really want to do this deep and this early so i think calling is best, see a flop and try to hit or outplay him

YOUNG_GUN

thats also a fair point n1ck has depends on villains, i would happily fold but also calling isn't too bad in this spot i wouldnt shove

I'd personally just flat his raise then go from there, defo don't 4bet him as he'll most likely just shove and you can't call with AK this deep. Call see a flop if it has an A/K then go from there, if you miss you still have 6k which is LOADS.

its a call and reassess on the flop

We cant be thinking about getting it all pre this early in a deepstack imo without AA, AA or AA.

GaryQQQ

Due to card elimination he's much more likely to be on something like AK or QQ than AA or KK. Based on his play so far I'm ready to take a stand and put him to the test, I'd be 4 betting big and happy to get it all in pre-flop. If it is a flip then so be it, I'm either going to be in a position of strength as one of the chip leaders or moving on to the next tournament.

Disclaimer - I have an awful record in deepstacks!
