Villain 1: RandALLin

Show log file

Total plays: 206

Pre-Flop

Question 1:

RandALLin: raises 3000 to 4600
everyone else folds.

As you all might know, Randall is a very good and aggressive MTTer. He's very capable, and will definetely be applying the aggression here. I , however, have a decent hand with an awkward chip stack in position against him.

  • A. Fold
  • B. Call
  • C. Raise to 9,999
  • D. Raise to all in

Hero's Analysis:

Folding I think is pretty bad - We have position and can definetely exploit his very wide range here with a nice hand.

Reraising is essentially shoving - yet we are committed , and I think it's close, but problem is he's going to call us wide.

I like calling, because we have position, with a nice hand with good showdown value - and I'm prepared to play back on a lot of flops.

Pre-Flop Ending Action:

Flop

Question 1:

RandALLin: bets 5000

Randall will be continuing here with a HUGE range of hands - we don't know much about his range yet, though.

  • A. Call
  • B. Raise to all in

Hero's Analysis:

I just call - we have a lot of showdown value, and I think it's a lot better than just shoving here, when I think I have showdown value . When we shove, we just fold out a ton that beats us, and instead just get owned by all his value range

Flop Ending Action:

Turn

Question 1:

RandALLin: bets 5000

  • A. Fold
  • B. Call
  • C. Raise to all in

Hero's Analysis:

Very, very weird bet.

Not much makes sense here. I don't think I like to fold, because it's so cheap, and we still have position, and we don't need to be good here very much at all.

I think Randall knows that I'm floating a lot here and planning to play back, so this bet can definetely be to stop this, and also it can also be to try slow me down from bluffing/betting something better on the river. Because he knows its really really tough for me to bluff shove on the turn here.

But yeah this bet is really confusing - I think we have to call though

Turn Ending Action:

River

Question 1:

RandALLin: bets 28800

WOWWWWW

  • A. Fold
  • B. Call

Hero's Analysis:

I explained quite a bit in the last spot, but now there is a lot of additional information for why I think this is a call.

First of all, we don't have to be good here v. much for it to be profitable .

Second, Randall definetely has a bluff range here.

Thirdly, We have very few Ax in our hand. Reason being, is that we are basically reshoving them all preflop.

Fourth, He knows we have a marginal showdown hand by the way we have played it. Sure, we are slowplaying a few hands here, but very few, as really only 78 etc are slowplaying here, as we are reshoving a lot of stronger hands preflop (Not all of them, we can trap here a bit, but his calling here to 3bet jamming is quite high )

Fifth, His line makes no sense. Not much can beat me. It's really only an A, and theres definetely a hell of a lot more in his range than this. His turn bet is weird , and theres just something not right about his line. So I call

River Ending Action:

    Nicely played. I played it in the same way as you up till the river.
    On the river I was thinking the same thing you were thinking, but I was also thinking Randallin knows we don't have many aces in our range, he knows we know it - we called 2 streets, is he really going to think we are going to fold?
    Basically, I'm saying - he knows it's obvious we have some weak hand with showdown, is he not going to give us credit being able to make a river call getting 2 to 1?

    I guess on the river it depends on how often we think he is shoving. If he is doing it with his entire range (because he knows we are likely weak) than I think the all is clearly good. If he is giving up a lot, it's tougher.

    In reflection though, since we are getting 2 to 1 pot odds on the river - my preferred choice would be to call the river. But I don't think it's an easy spot.

    Also pre, my preferred choice is to flat - but if we were just a bit shorter I would prefer to raise all in.

    BTW, I think what he was doing with the turn bet is making it look like he is setting up a river shove. If he bets bigger on the turn, he knows he won't have enough chips to bluff you on the river.

    Personally in his spot, I think a better way to bluff at this pot is with a 2/3 flop bet and shove on the turn. Stacks aren't deep enough for an effective 3 barrel bluff.
    I also think it's a good flop for him to do it because you don't have a lot of aces in your range, and he has good equity with KQ.

    Thanks for the hand ET well done on going so deep.

    Great result in the hand. Largely IMO thanks to the SB's donk shove on the river.

    IMO he didn't have you on an A and was hoping to hit one of his 10 outs and stack you. He played it like he was playing an OOP draw.

    He must have had you on a weak hand and was hoping you wouldn't put your touney life on the line LOL. A pretty poor plan b.

    Anyway a couple of questions.
    1. Why wouldn't you have considered shoving on the turn? You didn't believe [or there was a low probability] he had a hand and you would have taken away his odds to improve.
    2. If the SB had raised a smaller amount say 5000 would you have called or come over the top?
    3. When your deep in a big MTT do you find calling 2:1 on a potential elimination hand an easy call??

    Cheers

    As Amir, says what would you do if he shoves the turn? the only reason not to raise all-in on the flop is to induce a bluff shove on the river

    i see alot of this at the moment small turns bets to set up pot size shoves on the river. good players are doing it with the nuts as well as air.

    mainly as a cash game player i beleive you played this hand close to perfect........calling with 2nd pair on flop is standard, when he bets 4th street with same amount i agree that is the Wierdest shit ever haha but stil your inclined to call..........but lucky for you river is a deuce and he just ships it? well we know that more than 60% of the time hes checking down all aces for showdown value maybe except for AQ AK type hands where a nice value bet may be placed..........but in this case just an easy spot to snap him off with 2nd pair, and im sure if he had a 7 well hes checking it to you to take a stab if he figures your calling light on both streets and knows you know you cant win without betting?.....well to some it up you beat a ton of hands when he shoves that river, you know he doesnt jam any pair there JJ,QQ,KK........the amount of hand combos he could have that you are beating are so high id say you havbe like more than 60% equity in the hand even without pokerstove....lol soz for the novel............great play and pot control

    I don't play this high, however I know Rand is a high stakes reg capable of 3 barrelling this.

    I think I have to fold the river though; his turn bet to me just seems to scream a 7, I think he wants you to shove here with the exact kinda hand you have and his bet is to probably level you into knowing you have fold equity.
