FT - 3 Handed - Is This A Call?
Hey All,
Final tabled a £2.30 bounty hunter earlier, just wanted thoughts on this hand. Only real info on the villian/table is that everyone had been playing pretty weak, I'd been raising near enough every hand 3-handed and had got a fold near enough everytime. Then the last few orbits as Dorano was getting shorter, he'd started jamming on me when I'd min-raised his BB. Had folded to his re-jam each time with junk except this time...
Cos I don't get much experience of Final Tabling I'm always unsure about the strategy I should be taking in situations like this.... should I be playing pretty tight and allowing the big stack to knock out the short stack, then I can take him on HU or should I be trying to steam roller them?

I like the £20 guaranteed ones with £1.10 buyin, that's pretty good value and the standard of player is shocking.
I still think he was jamming on me with loads of hands I'd have liked to see, like QJ,QT, JT, T9, not too fussed about pairs 99 and under, even when I saw a rag ace, I didn't mind too much.
Is he not gonna be 3bet jamming pretty wide with his stack size there? Or should I just be avoiding calling for races without premium holdings at this stage anyway? Sometimes I think (and others have said it to me) that I'm too eager to take a race.
Keep solid position. Your calling 5425 into 6925 is it? Pretty bad imo, no offense, especially when we are comfortable.
If pos it other way round is fine. Am more than happy shipping over, but calling is obv diff.
But I do completely agree with you, it was wrong. I had a lovely stack and should have easily found a fold. It's something I need to cut out, that I'm just way too up for a gamble. I'm sat there thinking, even if it's AJ, AQ, I'll take a 60/40 when I've got double his stack and will still be in the running even if I lose but I know it's a terrible mindset.
Not at all, thought process is mostly ok, just try to be more concious of the price.
