AJs difficult spot bubble

I would just fold here, unless I have a good pair, doubling up doesn't take us any closer to the money and we lose everything so often.

BU looks spewy with those stats, so fold and hope he gets it in, we're still way ahead of him for now.

I think AJs should be a clear enough fold here. Not sure If I can give up hands like AK/88/99 tho, we basicaly just don't want to gamble here until BU busts or catches up.

- Most important question is: Is BU to call or not.
If he calls often this push is fairly easy actually.
But my personal assumption would be that he is not going to.

- The BvsB-ranges won´t effect the outcome too much here. They are so deep that smallball may even be better for you since they may go crazy more often postflop then preflop.

- There is a decent chance SB/BB call pretty loose if you shove since you are so damn short as well. They might not understand just how tight you are.

- There is a real possibility of getting walked by SB/BB in the next hand.

All this points to a fold.

A limp or minr may be a possibility here since you would be more flexible and you should not expect SB/BB to exploit your play preflop. I would be more worried about light calls postflop. I´d prefer the limp bc we still can fold and keep more FE for postflop. But keep in mind that this play is very high variance and it is basically impossible to prove if it is +EV or not.

Salut all. Interesting spot.

All of our opponents seem loose and recreational and yet folding with our hand is not a good opition here imo. Fish villains usually call these spots tighter than regs, they don't understand pot odds, stack sizes etc, so I even assume we do have some FE. Anyway, I won't push either. This hand depends mostly on how often does the BTN get the chips in. As bad he seems to be, I strongly believe it will be much more often than what a reg will do.

I like min raising here. Well, not really a min raise, more like making it 1700 or so. It gives us room to maneuver. So, my line will be to min/raise-fold if the btn folds, sb pushes and bb calls. Min/raise-call if the BTN pushes and one of the blinds comes along. Min/raise-call if the btn folds and one the bigstacks pushes over us. And min/raise-fold if all the players get the chips in. If we min raise, btn folds and the 2 big stacks collude by just calling our min raise...well.. ♠_biggrin:

I will leave it open.

Hi all,

Looks like a fold, minraising is an option with reads that BU is going to get it in here. But pushing is really bad here!

What about a limp instead of a minr?
Basically we want to know what BU does. If we plan on folding to the BS anyway might as well make it cheaper.

Sounds good actually, we can go broke on some flops too I thiiink.
