edited January 2011 in The Poker Clinic
Oppo had just gone down from £11.50 to his current stack in about 8 hands and had been quite unlucky - getting more agressive as hands went on - had just lost a large amount to an all in on flop, where he called with PP - undercards to board.

What are you doing vs his reraise here, bearing in mind chip stacks.

    This one is easy, put him all in.

    Don't take this the wrong way - but why are you posting this?

    Why is there any doubt in your mind about what you should be doing here?

    Maybe there is a problem with your mentality/approach, rather than actually knowing what to do in this situation?

    As above really, ship it unless you have a reason not to? have they been solid? if they have, have you seen them play aces/kings this way? as they are the only hands you dont want to be up against in a heads up pot

    no offense taken.

    I should have probably given a bit more info....felt it would give the game away tho.

    he had been playing PP of 88+ really strong preflop. due to the previous results I felt he might be tilting.....but also knew this was a high chance of being a pocket pair (he wasnt reraising with AQ+)  a race from behind for my AK - should I be shoving half my stack on this.

    I shoved - he had JJ. Which held. Just want to check with this kind of read, should i still be shoving

    I didn't really mean that you hadn't given enough information on the guy.

    I mean, there is no decision here, it's the easiest shove in the world........ I think you know it too, 

    I just wondered why you're doubting yourself - maybe something to do with running bad or something, but maybe not? 

    he has 40xbb, and you have ace king - No brainier.

    Yeah, I do know - lol.

    Was just a little annoyed at myself really because I really felt he had a strong chance of Pocket pair (it was only the fact he was likely on tilt that had me doubting it) and i was likely going in behind to his shove. he turned over JJ and i was like "damn".

    just wondering if I could have ....and your gonna sigh tut and roll eyes at this!! Folded due to villans previous play with Pockets.

    But yeah your right its a shove all day.....never mind next hand!!
