    be more specific in my spot or offy's ty

    i always thought offshoot was very TAG tbh. Certainly one of the better opponents you could be up against. In this spot, i probably fold to him. We only have TKGK against an opponent who IMO will NEVER call with worse.

    Ul btw bud.


    P.S. I now await offshoot comming and saying he will call with worse lol.

    In a satellite i like to keep pots v small early.

    I would never rejam like you did, because, unless he has that precise hand (nfd with 1 pair) you are only getting called if you are crushed. I really dont think he would ever be stone cold bluffing here, he must have a fd, or a set usually.

    I think i would flat the flop and if he leads the turn, i would fold. If he checks a non spade turn, i would stick a sizeable bet in and prob tid.

    But as grantorino says, it may be just advisable to fold the flop vs a very strong opponant

    offshoots play ia 100% standard

    yours is dependent on how often you think offshoot bluffs. I would think his value raising range (inc semibluffs) has you beat, unless there is some strange dynamic

    yea in a tecnicallity. % wise hes about 50% isnt he?

    2x 7 + 3x A + 9x spades = 14 outs.

    14*4 = 56%

    so he called with better :P

    didnt realise u had the J of spades sorry. so thats one less out. im still making him out in this hand to be 52%

    hmmm don or pokerstove who do i believe? dumbo!!!
  • edited June 2011
    He is roughly 52% to improve by the river.

    But he can improve by the river and still lose the hand.

    For example the turn is a red ace and the river is a king.

    ill pot this into an odds calculator which is better than me. And i trust more than pokerstove because it puts it hand v hand rather than against a range of hands.

    Kc Js v As 7s on Ks 7h 4s flop.

    KJ - 51.4

    A7 - 48.6

    Yeap ur right, however this is still effectivley AK v QQ imo.

    100BB deep standard open raise from cut-off blinds 10/20 >60 fine

    position on Big blind flop K47 two spades 130 pot ck you lead 95/>70 is fine

    ck raise 260 8.25BB to flat in position />open shove 68.5BB Effective stacks don't like

    Would flat in position pot control re evaluate on turn looking to get to showdown cheaply   
  • edited June 2011
    think your lucky he did not show you KQ,KA.

    His call is standard and your jam is hoping he has a flush draw

    Your jam is only getting called by a better hand or a flush draw, agree ?

    I don't like the jam, maybe call and if no spade on turn then go for it
  • edited June 2011
    erm im lucky he didnt have AK KQ thats redic he re-raises them pre!

    I reckon he stacks of Ax suited here so i think its ok, not fantastic obviously

    I also dont mind shoving blank turn but what happens if Ace comes etc i prefer shove to put someone to a decision

    You would think he would 3 bet pre but you just don't know he may mix it up this early
    Just saying the jam is only folding out worse hands, your only getting called by better hands or a flush draw. But is this not the way to go when there is FD on board ?
    Debatable, but I am sure you could find the fold this deep if a spade or ace hits
    Also is there a great need to go to war so early ?
    If you put him on FD then hey ho, all is good

    But you gotta remember on the positive side your only 50/50 at best :s
    Everything else in his calling range is crushing you :s

    Would you rarther go in further ahead this early ?

    You need to consider that AK, KQ, 44 and 77 are also possible holdings here, in which case he has you crushed. You've stoved his actual hole cards, but that's a results orientated calculation, you didn't have that information when you got it in.

    I've just stoved it against this range, all possible holdings IMO;

    AKo, KQo, KJo, KTo, AJss to A2ss, QTss, suited connecting spades from QJss to 45ss. (I've taken these hands out of his range on the assumption he would 3-bet pre-flop; AKss, AQss, KQss, AA, KK)

    Against this range your equity drops to 41.7%.

    Against a tighter range (AJss to A2ss, KTss, KQo, KJo, 44 and 77) you have 33.0%.

    I did consider that but i was confident he had flush draw, obviously he was slightly better of with a pair already and overcard

    but also on the same note my hands not exactly been played face up and i think will fold out marginal hands possibly other kings?? i would make the same play if i had 2 pair/ set/ AK so he can only really call with the hand he has unless he has one of these imo. I think offshoot's play is pretty standard really but obviously there's 3 options for me fold if i think im behind, shove to take down majority of the time or get racing, or call and shove blank turn(best option in hindsight). That said vs offy who clearly will have an edge with me im happy to take a race vs flush draw, also if i get the double up then it allows me to be more aggro and will give me a better chance to finish in the top 5
  • edited June 2011
    how are you confident he has a flushdraw? Do you think he flats sets?

    nfd is in ok shape any fd with 7s is in ok shape,oesd in ok shape, sets crush you. AK crushes you (doubt he flats pre)KQ crushes you( doubt he c/r with KQ, also he may 3bet pre but I wouldnt be so sure). He is never raise/folding any K there and I doubt he ever raises KT or worse. You never ever get him to fold any hand you want him to fold after this action, you have to be pretty sure he has an absolute pile of draws and maybe sometimes flats sets to make shoving good here imo

    I kindly dis-agree, i dont think he never bluff re-raises in this spot? i think he can fold out similar hands maybe k10, KQ etc

    I put him on nut flush draw, just instinct and the way the betting has gone really. no betting tells or anything like that

    offshoot can have pure bluffs sometimes, but I think its more likely to be a monster or a draw. I also dont know why you would shove against his pure bluffs

    I think you can easily get into levelling yourself here. Unless you have good specific reads on offshoot I think its a pretty clear fold and move on
