With the shortie, you're likely getting a call so you may end up also getting a loose call from Burnett if he's the sort of player that will do anything to "get dat bounty", so I probably shove here.
The "correct play" is the play which the person who has paid their money deems correct in the circumstances! Dude will prob prove me ABSOLUTELY wrong! lol
I'm just giving my 2p worth as I see it. I'm a rec player and I try and learn from experience NOT how things will/might pan out over "the neverending game".
pad
p.s Still waiting on PLO game! ;-)
Personally i don't think it matters what type of tournament your in bounty hunter or not you should be shoving here
The only limper we really need to have any fear of is the first limper, since very few players would chance limping behind with AA or KK. So against a single action, we now consider folding our AK out of fear of AA or KK. The interesting thing is that I doubt that we would fold to a single raise out of fear of AA or KK. We're giving the weak action of a limp more credit for being strong than we would the strong action of a raise.
I've seen alot of players limp into pots and very, very few of those limps have been strong hands: I'd say a small fraction of one per cent, certainly. Sometimes we get caught out, most of the time we don't.
The dead money makes this a shove - There's more than 15% of our stack in the middle. If we get called it's unlikely that we're facing a dominating hand so we could be ahead or it could be a race. We need to win races to win tournaments anyway but we have more equity in the hand than the limp-caller, since we can take down the dead money some of the time and they cannot. Don't overplay your hand by making a smaller raise, just stick the lot in the middle.
Bad enough to limp, ergo bad enough to call 5x+ oop. When we brick its just ugly.
Only reason to ship is if we believe a worse hand calls///myeh but we increae stack by about 14% uncontested, might not be so bad.
But know that no pp is folding. The old limp call it off with 77...........
Obv not folding or limping. Shoving may be best but dont see how its definitely so much better than making it say 700. I know this is a bh so we are more likely to get calls, but we dont want all folds with AK 28bb deep
rarther AK shove and get called by worse, which is so possible in these
Think you underestimating how bad these players are )
