Let's gamboooooooool

Having said that, what about this?

SB: t5435

BB: t1755

Hero (BTN): t6310



Pre Flop: (t300) Hero is BTN with T T

Hero raises to t500

Standard raise.

SB raises to t1600

I'm unhappy about that obviously, but I pause and do not turbofold. I consider shoving but this is why I did what I did:

First, his hand selection has been off, but he's got it in when he's been very strong. I'd expect hands that were actually better than mine to get it in straight away. With AA/KK, this kind of player tends to flat to trap you or raise small, not to lose you. So I don't think he has a big pair here.

Second, I'm flipping with the range I expect him to have. He probably flats smaller pairs, so I think he has AJ-AK a lot.

So I could shove, but there's a lot at stake. It seems like a good idea in this spot to flatcall, and then play undercard flops and those without aces fast for the most part.

1 fold, Hero calls t1100

So I call.

Flop: (t3400) 2 T K (2 players)

Which looks like a genius play when I hit my set. But tbh, I'd be content with a K92 flop here, and would play it the same the way the action goes.

SB bets t1000, Hero raises to t4710 all in, SB calls t2835 all in


Easy shove for me. Unbelievably, this clown has AJs. I suppose he could argue that he has a thin call vs top pair, with 8 outs, but if I have top pair, I have to be taking some of his outs.

So it's just the usual terrible, unthinking stuff.

Turn: (t11070) Q (2 players - 2 are all in)


And yet again, I go down to a 5/1 shot.
