Pop Quiz (part XXIV) - call or fold

[robilaruk]

ahh bubble time again and I am the whipping boy ever since my AJ, got caught by A4 on an Ace flop

so with barely 3 BB I have been folding hoping the other shortie (steve) goes out, however neither of the big stacks have a clue and keep calling or folding

so I have barely more than one BB left now as they have just gone up on this hand. So is it an easy call and or just throw it away as Steve has been as tight as I have and must have a very tight shoving range?

FYI I have 598 after posting the BB

Cheers

I would call and hope for the best.

I would put him on Ace rag.

...as Steve has been as tight...

If this is the case, why didn't you pressure him first?

This is completely unrelated but if 'Steve' was 'Valiant' you'd have leaned on him before now and have him/me covered.

Or was it literally just after your AJ lost? Either way I'm afraid you're committed with 50% of your stack in the BB and would have to call. I think I would possibly only fold if I had 6 high or less.

Must call imo as steve would of also noticed the big stacks and yourself folding aand deccided this was a good time to shove with any 2 cards with you in bb and more or less get through.Also as val said you have too much commited.

[robilaruk]

two reasons

1) at least one the other two are limping most hands, so you know you will be called

2) as one of the other 2 are limping every hand, and you know you will be called I would like a picture card at least to shove with (actually a 10 would do, or even a 9, a 9 would be GREAT..... yes it had been that bad!)

anyway Steve had been ultra shortie with about 300 chips and kept winning his BB when AI and then losing it as he played the SB/BB next time, just waiting and waiting for me to go I think? as I was waiting for him to go (or waiting for a 9 to play with )

In that case K3 looks like AA in comparison so click and say "gg gla".

as val asked elsewhere (pop quiz part XXV)

I decided to call as i was a mssive short stack with no FE at all and I knew that the big stacks had no clue at all so the only way i was finishing ITM was to risk it against stevie (hoping he had neither a K or a PP - Ace rag I didn't mind)

glad I did

You were ahead pre flop!


I do have a weakness for being behind to a higher card but ahead of the kicker, so I'd be quite happy with a J 10 vs K 3 race, as long as I'm not suit dominated too.
