ELCAKER Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Re: my last hand from BTB last night Would you not consider flat calling and seeing a flop. If you connect your shoving anyway but at least you give yourself the chance to get away from the hand without doing all your stack....you would still have had 9k if you happened to get away from it post flop. I totally understand why you have shoved and probably do this 80% of the time myself, but then when I lose I always question whether i wasn't being impatient and therefore could have played it better.

GaF Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Re: my last hand from BTB last night The advantage of shoving is that you see all 5 community cards - making it a flip against an underpair - if you only see 3 cards and your opponent bets, then you pretty much have to let it go and you dont get your shot at hitting with the last two cards.....

Samba_SamPa Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Re: my last hand from BTB last night GaF? I am sure you advocated flat calling pre-flop in a different thread a couple of weeks ago? Think it was Aaron Hendrix in November's Inside Poker magazine, but can't find my mag to see exactly what it said - but something about not being afraid to avoid coinflips shots by calling and seeing a flop, but I could be wrong :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhornet Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Re: my last hand from BTB last night I would probably have shoved too, but I'm not against Elcaker's idea of seeing the flop. If you go all-in, she(?) has to call for 9K pretty much calling for her tournament life (down to 7k if she loses). Thus unless her raise was a bluff (unlikely from UTG+1), and she has a fair hand, she is going to call your re-raise. If you see a flop and it comes with over-cards to her Jacks, she may check to you. Equally, if no Ace or King comes you can get away from the hand.
