Hi,

how one super weird hand from 5.50$ tournament. Got A9s on btn and shortstack opens, decide to just call (on bb is a big stack, and people opening with shortstacks usually have strong hands, so maybe even call is not so great). BB calls as well. Hitting top pair, low kicker. Original raiser bets just 1bb, I dont want to make pot big so I just call, bb call. Turn looks like air, again 1bb bet. I am kind of suspicious so I just call again. River looks like blank again and shortstack fires it up for pot size bet. After quite long time I called, because the line was so weird that I though I could have best hands or he could just have some bluffs. What do you think? How would you play it against fish like that?

hi,

pre call is ok I guess. 3 betting vs a minraise to iso is ok too. Asplayed I call flop. Turn you can go both ways raising for info is nice. If you call again its hard to let go due to the action because you under rep your hand. The 4 is less likely and bigger ax would bet bigger. Anyhow you have to ask yourself: does he bet with worse hands the river this big?

greets

I would most likely raise the flop already against a weak bet and if he shoves you can still fold.
As played the river is a blank most of the time, but I doubt a weaker player will ever shove as bluff and is folding better.

Cheers,
