    also another question:  if you are sat with AK and there are too all ins before would you call?, trying to find out what to play in the longterm. many thanks in advance
    Posted by haylez83
    Haylez there is no definitive answer, it very much depends on a number of factors. Are both allins short stacked? Is only 1 short and the other player has shoved to isolate? What stage are we at in the tourney? What is there playing style loose or tight? Sometimes it will be a fold sometimes it will be a call. The main factor is your stack if you don't need to get involved then I'ts a fold probably but as I say depends on a whole lot of factors.

    Firstly - I don't like the min raise preflop - 2 x raise here imo

    Secondly -     Why Check the flop when you have hit top pair (Don't give them free cards unless you are holding the nuts) Once you give him his other diamond for free, he is always coming along for the ride.

    Thirdly - The all-in aggro bet at the end looks a bit weak after your check on the flop, so oppo is always calling with his top pair / flush draw & gutshot straight draw. 
    Also, we are never getting oppo to fold if we put him on the flush draw either. He has to make a call of 5.8K to win what is now a 16K pot.

    A bigger bet pre-flop and then a continuation bet on the flop will get the job done most instances, after that I just check fold down the streets if he has shown strength by calling my continuation bet on the flop.

    a min raise is a 2x raise. Min raising is fine at these blind levels imo....agree with the rest

    thanks very much dagg, that would make a lot of sence it happened to me last night and i folded i just thought i hope i have done the right thing.

    it turned out i would of won as the short stavk had j10 and the larger stack had a3, but like you say no point getting involved if i dont need to.

    Thanks trev, i just tried to copy and paste but it looked strange.

    thanks again for the advice, i am a little confused as on skypoker the experts have said that it is best to min raise which i dont agree with as you say if i 2x or 3x raise i probably win the pot.
    many thanks for your thought i will certainly take them on board.
    My plan was to min raise and hopefully get raised then to push the issue but it didnt go to plan full of mistakes but i can feel the improvment just need to keep listening to you guys and hopefully get rid of these mistakes in my game.

    many thanks again.

    Soz for the confusion - I meant 2 x the pot, so a bet of 1200

    We help ourseves in 2 ways..........hands like Q7s may fold and we pick up the blinds or if they come along for the ride then we have inflated the pot, we then use our continuation bet and a lot of the time the "any 2" cards will have to fold at this point.

    I still disagree.....min raising is fine. By raising less it allows us to cbet less. We don't want to inflate the pot too much at this point because 2 out of 3 times we miss the flop. The majority of the time, if somebody is calling a min raise pre then they will also be calling a 3x pre.

    If we raise 1200 and get called the the pot is at least 2600 meaning realistically a cbet will have to be around 1/2 pot....1300. If we have missed and get some resistance then we have lost 2500 chips

    If we raise 800 and get called the pot is around 1800 meaning our cbet can be around 900. Again, if we have missed and get resistance we have lost 1700 chips......we need to be preserving chips at this stage of the tournament just as much as we are trying to win them.

    If we hit we can start inflating the pot anyway. Min raising in the mid/late stages is always best imo (unless there have been limpers).

    Trev Trev Trev. Was just gonna drop by to wish anyone playing SPT Newcastle good luck but then I see this above! Ignore him Hayley, he might be your captain but when blinds are 200/400 then a minraise is absolutely fine :)

    Just to add my opinion about raise sizes. In the very early levels I try and raise at least 4x the BB. Mid stages will be 2 1/2X the BB at least. When we are down to last levels 2x the BB is big enough. *
     Also I like to keep my raise sizes the same at their respective levels but some players do like to mix it up a bit.







    * The above raise sizes are not clues to my hand strengths just in  case you were wondering :)

    Also the cash has been going great ! not been playing as many tables as id like as i think it lowers my edge so i tend to play 3 with an mtt or 2 running along side ! I put 150 aside to play cash and im in 60 quid profit from cash alone so im going to play 4 8 until i reach 500 then ivm going to move up 2 5 10, any1 think this is abit nitty with my roll ?? I have never really had any displin regarding BM so im hoping I i can keep disiplined and grind away !!!!
