runadrum Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Re: would you do this? sits on fence and says depends, eg. 1. Type of MTT Virgin V-Points Freeroll - Yes (lots of players to get through, cost me nothing to play) Sporting Odds Champions League - No (fewer players, have paid to play) 2. Position - last to act, no callers, probably yes. 3. Do I know the player making the raise ? (Pene No, Jaded Yes !) 4. Could even depend on how my day has been going ! :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgej Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Re: would you do this? JT suited for an extra 90? I'd go for it - not putting stack under much pressure here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAN DAN Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Re: would you do this? For me it would also depend on all of the above, but in most cases I'd fold,in the past I've found I don't hit straights or flushes enough to merit those chips to look. I would sit tight and wait for a better hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big was the kicker with his Ace ? or was he holding a pair which didn't hit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaded Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Re: would you do this? I'd call... but we all knew that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Re: would you do this? Im guessing for you to call the 90 chips you would of been getting just over 2-1 pot odds. Your TJs vs his AK is about a 40-60 dog. So you were getting good pot odds to call the 90 :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerBarney Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Re: would you do this? You're calling a 4xBB raise out of position with a hand that's easily dominated. What if he's got AJ? A10? KQ? All are well within the range of a raiser in later position that you. Would you have called if it wasn't suited? Most of the time you'll miss, and you don't really have any room to bluff. Plus, this early, is it worth risking those chips on a marginal hand? I think you got lucky.. it's not a play I'd recommend doing regularly. Personally, I'd probably fold the J10 in the first place, then you don't have the decision to make. Still.. nh :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robilaruk Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Re: would you do this? I concur entirely KQ perhaps? Trips? what if the flop comes AQJ - then what? you calling for a gutshot and bottom pair? or better yet A 10 4 with the A and 4 being your suit - great ain't it when he shoves that flop Just bin it and don't bust out 1st hand Just my thoughts Damo You're calling a 4xBB raise out of position with a hand that's easily dominated.
